    How long did it take you to finish your beadwork?

  • #2
    A long........ long...... time. I'm still working on it. It's taking me like two years now.

    But of course, I got college, 6 kids and a household to run as well. I'm hoping to get it all done for this powwow season.

      I started two sets in Nov (It's May) and I finished one in March, almost done with the second one - and I work full time with the Army, and have two part time jobs and a daughter. I bead at night til about 11:00 sometimes later if I have a deadline - oh yeah, I made 4 dresses and did a choker order during that time too.

        Let's see I started my new set in March......did the back barrette, choker, earrings, hairties, smaller beaded side barrette, beaded rings, moccasins..........now starting the leggings. Trying to get them done by the end of June for the start of my pw season. As for my belt, I get that made by someone else. I can't wait to wear my new outfit. :rainbw: Oh yeah! And also beaded a matching purse. I gotta get the leggings done soon but not looking forward to it...lol...it means beading nonstop for the next few weeks.:Mad

              Quick question here for experienced beaders,

              how much time does it take to bead a pair of leggins, whether straight or lazy stitch? I have a full time demanding job, but wonder if I can accomplish a new pair for summer...
              mission possible or...?
