Hi there

 

 

   

IŽm glad that you found your way to my beadingpage. My name is Monica and iŽm live in Sweden.

I started to bead 2002 and worked first with loom but as i like different jewelrys and is a creative person, very soon i had many new ideas.

But i didŽnt know anything at all about beading or how to bead on free hand. I didŽnt have a clue how to create a bracelet for example, with beads together so they made a sort of chain.

I started to look after other beaders work on internet, but most of all, i looked out for tutorials and patterns. It took time.....and more time, because of that i found SO MUCH out there. Finally i found the "Daisy chain". With that pattern i could create so many different items.

I started to work but discovered very soon that some of the beads loosed their colours, i had to look out for some information about this and found:  Beadwrangler Information Pages

Here you have so much information about sizes and about colours/finishes on different beads. I also must thank Lydia on Beadwrangler that i e-mailed many times with my questions, she allways took her time to answer.

When i had come so far, i discovered how many beautiful and different beads there were out there. So i started to to look out for bead-shops on internet. There were lots of them. First of all, i looked out for beads that didŽnt loosed their colours, sizes that was suitible to my work and companys who had competetive prices on beads.

I took contact with the bead-shops that i was interested in and asked for shipping/handling costs. I remember the first time i received a package of beads from USA, it was so fun and i was so happy. Now i have my favourite bead-shops but i allways look out for more. I have become a "beadoholic".

I doŽnt only work with beads, i like to combine my jewellery with "connectors" for example or other items that i find. As a "beadoholic" i allways look out for different items that i can use in my work.

This is my bead-history, i hope you will sign my guestbook and tell me about yours. I hope my history and my links will help if you just have discovered how fun beading is. On my following pages, i will show you example of my work, beading links and patterns.
