I am very familiar with the pain of beading. Have you ever had to go through a bunch of layers while sewing something together? Most of my sewing is by hand. Then comes the fun of edge beading. A while back, I was working on a purse made up of several layers. When I sewed it together and did the rolled edge beading, I stuck myself maybe umpteen million times. Now I have calluses where I've routinely stuck myself. I've also torn up my finger tips. How many of you have beader's calluses?
I've also held on to projects with kind of a "death grip". What usually happens is that my hands start going numb (almost like that pins and needles feeling) on me. Then I have to stop and shake my hands out.
How many of you have had to deal with trying to bead by whatever lighting was available? This problem typically occurs at drum practice. Either I am racing with the sun to bead, or I am dealing with the lighting situation in somebody's house. I just have to work as quickly and carefully as I can.
