Motherfuckin' Beads on a String!!!
Posted: July 3rd, 2006, 2:04 am
I'm having a BEAD PARTY!!! AT MY HOUSE on July 22nd from 1pm - 3pm.
FYI, this is the social equivilant of a CO-ED "Quilting Bee" where the artform facilitates chatting and socializing. No art skill required. All supplies will be supplied. It's up to you to barter and trade for the stuff you REALLY want.
I will be suppling party-favor grab bags of beads to start each guest off in the bartering and trading -- an ancient skill that is part of our national American histrory -- BYO diseased-filled-blankets and firearms.
This is a co-ed event, but you must STRING something if you want to come. Leather thong (rope) & african trade bead supplied for macho men who don't do jewlery.
There will be folks there to help you with technical skills of "assembly".
We will also have beer, sodas, coffee, and snacks.
FYI... My dad has made the kinds of woven beaded belts and straps that you see the Native Americans sporting, but that requires massive amounts of time. I personally prefer the quick fix type of beaded accessories. Necklace, earrings, bracelet, watchband, and anklet are some common choices for beaded wear.
Email me [sfarr2 at austin dot rr dot com] if you want to come hang out at my house [12804 Carrera Drive, Austin-TX] and string some beads...
...It is very easy and FUN!!!
