Beading Experience:

I have been learning to bead from my mother when I was 4 years old. I got so excited to see my mom doing this wonderful basket and it made so keen to try to d it myself. I used to bead my mom’s basket when she was busy at the kitchen cooking and she got upset because I was massing up her work but it made so excited to learn and exercise more everyday.





Now, I can bead my own little basket quit nicely and one day I will do the big ones and my mom will be proud on me. Wish me luck!

School : 6th grade of Elementary school.
Home : Bali, Indonesia. Beading Experience: I love to spend my free time after school to do this work and it feels so great to be able to make a little money for my future and help my parents. I hope that I can continue my education with this part time activity. I got to school from 7:30 Am and out from school at around 12:00 so I have plenty of time in the afternoon to bead, but I am not forgetting my homework.











Here you can see that I am doing my medium basket, it is so fun to play with the colorful seed beads.

Beading Experience: My mom is the first bead worker in my village and I was starting to learn to bead when I was 4 years old and I have been doing the bead work for 20 years. Well, I am not sure how many baskets that I have created in the period of time. I am so happy to have the knowledge in creating beaded baskets and happy to teach my friends in the village to do the work.














Here you can see some of my works.



It is a big basket that I am working on right now and wish that you like the colors and my tradional design on it. I love doing big pieces as it makes me so proud to it when it is done.

Beading Experience: I firstly learnt to bead from a bead woman in my village. I have been doing beadworks for about 8 years now since I was at elementary school. My parents are rice farmers and were hardly work to pay for my school so I was really happy to be invited to learn to bead where I could make a little money to pay for my school. My parents gave me a great support on my work and were so happy because I could make some money from my work. I could not continue my studies to Senior High school which was a bit disappointing but I am happy enough to have a choice to keep my work on beading. I have done many pieces over 8 years and happy to have people around the world to collect my art pieces.




Here are some of my works, I hope that you are enjoying what I have created and I will keep learning to do better in my works as I have been really falling in love to what I have done for 8 years.

My warmest regards,


Nyoman.

Beading Experience: Well, for 5 years spending my time on beadworks is truly amazing. It was really so desperate to learn at first, as I couldn’t figure out the pattern and my way around this beadwork but I was not that easy to give up even it took me a week to really find my way to gather thousands seed beads to create a beautiful design. I can not tell how happy I was when I got my first piece and I couldn’t sleep at night without my first beaded basket. I am happy for myself not to give up but kept trying and trying. I think that we can make it happen if we want to and that is my motto,” Never give up “.
