At these conferences my eyes were opened to the many crocheters who are currently bead crocheting or are curious about it. Many crocheters and beaders who have purchased my book, kits and beads have emailed me about their interests and some have become very close email pals. From all this interaction, I soon realized I needed a bead crochet site for this very exciting subject that is growing daily.
Bead crochet encompasses a wide spectrum of capabilities.
Not only do you have an actual fabric when finished, but also gorgeous textural artworks when you add beads to crochet. I am currently working on a loom weaving book with beads and fiber and guess what, bead crochet will be included. There is no doubt in my mind bead crochet is going to pop out everywhere in the coming years. Join me on this journey of bead crochet experimentation, combining other techniques, pushing the envelope to see what we can do. My second bead crochet book is planned for 2001 and will include full size beaded bags and many other treasures.
