I love making beadwork, it's the art of attaching beads to one another by stringing them in case you're not familiar.
I am not! What more can you tell me about it! Never heard of it before!
Well going back in history beads were used for religious purposes and as good luck talismans, nowadays beadwork is mostly a hobby to create jewelry and stuff.
Is there anywhere in particular that this craft originated from?
I don't think any one area in particular, but beads were found in the archaelogical record so we've probably used them for as long as modern man has been around.
Wow, impressive! And what about today? Is it a pop culture thing?
I think it's a creative outlet, people want to make nice looking jewelry or handbags or other crafts, and beads help give the creations some aesthetic appeal.
