Native Beadwork

well i rings up my phone in front of me here um i totally forgot that one of my friends were asking about uh two needle beading and so this one underneath the the one underneath is gonna go tack down the one on top is gonna be the one that's gonna hold the beads so it doesn't matter i'm gonna go as far as right right here like okay i'll i'll just bead and then you can just kind of get a um an eye of what i'm doing here so this part right here i'm gonna hang on to this this is the main one you have to keep tight don't let this get loose like this because when you start letting this one get loose when you're tacking it down the spacing out is going to be um too much it'll it'll space out the beads you'll see the thread so make sure this is tight and your thumb is gonna be like your guide where you're gonna put your beads and then keep pushing this up i'm gonna keep this tight and then this because let me see um i'll just go here and i'll give you an idea so i'm gonna keep pulling this tight and then my string underneath okay where am i at i already did two down so i tack down every two i just i just don't want to um go any more than that because if i do um tack down any more than that i just it will start to look bumpy or you'll start to see this space out right there okay hopefully you can see that okay see what i'm doing here i'm not letting my string go i'm keeping this tight use your use your thumb right here to keep pulling like it's guiding the beads where they need to be and then make sure don't let this loose if you're gonna start um kind of beating in this technique your hands will get they they will get quite sore especially your left hand because you're not used to um probably like hanging on to your string this way so it probably will make your hand quite sore and if you if you start to feel your hands started getting sore just just just take a break and then what i usually do is i go like this kind of press your hands back like this so if your hands start to get sore or cramp up from starting to bead um because this this kind of beading will will tire your head it's it's a little bit tiresome but um i've it doesn't bother me a whole lot because i beat like this all the time but i remember it used to okay so the cool thing about using two needles because i'm gonna outline this whole thing right here and so what i want to be able to do is use one string for the top for the beads and then one for the bottom so you're gonna find that you're gonna use less thread um well it might sound funny using two two needles but still your um you'll make those two go a little bit further okay see how i'm a little bit short right there cool thing about using two needles is this one here is wide open to where i can add i can add or take off any beads i need to so that is the plus thing about two needle beading because as to one if you didn't put enough beads um there there's nothing really you can do about it okay so the top one that holds the beads because this is the this is the end where i'm at here so the top i'm gonna push that down so then that way i can okay so my next one but the one that's uh tacking down i'm gonna go up i don't know if you can see that too well anyway i'm gonna i'm gonna use that one to start right there the the next line so it's kind of like reverse and as you go through different spots um the only reason i didn't use this one that holds the thread is so that way um when i go to if i use oh my god this is really hard to explain if i use this one because i push down my bead right here so if i use this one to come back up right here so it's possible that i might just undo my string that i had already pushed down but anyway um so fill your your beads back up here put that to the left to the left of you and then grab the one that goes to the bottom put that to the right to view or vice versa if you're left-handed and then same thing all over again don't let this get loose always keep this one tight and then just use your thumb as a guide to be able to keep pushing those beads up so the more you keep practicing this um you'll find what what makes it easier for you to do um two needles as to one so right now i'm using this two noodles because um i want to be able to outline this and i use two needles to outline all of these as well and my outline here and my outline um and for this spot right here too anything long and curvy these are all used with one i mean two needles sorry and my outline so and then for the inside for the fill of the leaves i used one needle and then this one right here i used two because i wanted these to match out so to where i would be able to um take off or put on a bead if i needed these to match up so that's another plus of using two needles and then something like this was just one needle um and then so the inside of this i will just use one needle to fill those in and this is the first side that i've done so that's the fill inside the clouds those are just one needle and then this one right here for the fill of this was two needles because i needed these stars to be able to match up because if i did use one needle on this these stars would not match up they would they would be offset so that is a cool plus on using two needles is because i can adjust this as i go i don't know where i i kept hearing people long time ago speaking of beating with two needles and stuff and i didn't kind of understand what they were talking about but um later on eventually i thought well okay well i'm gonna try put some beads down and then it's just trial and error on everything um so i really really super hope this helps helps you out on how to use two needles on where to use two needles as you go along you will get your own little groove of of either starting to bead or even if you're already a beater um then you'll get the hang of uh uh when to use two needles or one so you'll get the idea as you go along so but anyway make sure to just keep your string tight take breaks if your hands gets start to get sore and um or if you start to get frustrated or anything just just just take a break and then just come back when um you're good okay see see this right here see i had put on too much beads the cool thing about this two needles is i can take off or add if i need to see this i can just easily take this off and then see that end right there so just like before i am going to tuck that down there and so that is good and add my other beads on and just kind of have a look at how much you need so you're not putting on way too much beads put my beads on put my string to the left mean and this one to the right of me keep your string tight so if you're doing any of those any kind of um earrings that deals with a lot of circles um you'll find this this technique with uh two needles will help you so much because you will be able to take off or put on what you need hey baby what you doing i'm hiding you're hiding yeah no no stay down you don't need to get up there and this is the end of this part right here so i'm going to grab my my my top needle i'm gonna put this down right there so that will end that one and then as soon as you're you're done what you need to do then you can just knot and tie off both threads in the back and that's where you can just use one needle and start filling in whatever you're doing but anyway um anything rounded long and rounded or earrings or any anything like that so give this um do some practice on some things like beading around things like say those beaded crystals that they use maybe try small like just practice around little circles and stuff like like bigger areas you'll get the hang of doing a beading like this it'll make rounded things and everything so much easier i wish you all the best of luck and i hope i was able to help you out a bit here thank you bye
