Expert Profile: Pamela Welborn

Expertise: I have been beading for over 10 years and teaching beading for about 8 years. I especially love Japanese seed beads in size 11 and size 15. Not a delica fan but maybe someday... I especially love teaching other people about beading.

Experience in the area:
I teach the following stitches/projects: peyote, brick, netting, St Petersberg chain, spiral rope, dutch spiral, beaded pens, beaded Christmas ornaments, earrings, pouches, necklaces, bracelets - just about anything beaded, I have tried it.

Publications:
I have had 7 articles published by Jewelry Crafts Magazine and one by Bead & Button Magazine.

Awards and Honors:
2nd place Professional Beadwork in the Gems and Minerals section Los Angeles County Fair 1998
3rd place Professional Beadwork in the Gems and Minerals section Los Angeles County Fair 1999

Present Day:
Currently, I design patterns and make kits for beading projects. Check out - violetbead.com There is a gallery of my work there.

What do you like about this subject? I love the feel and the colors of beads. They sparkle and entrance you. They are very addicting.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Stitch I need to learn more about is Ndebele. I will when I have a project that "needs" it. I can do it but don't feel proficient with it yet, also more about sculptural peyote.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Seed beads go through a process that takes over a month to make them.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Copyright is the hottest bead topic

2008-05-21 glue: Well I have never done that but Elmers Craft Bond Ultra Stix All Glue is also a favorite of mine for the lack in fumes. You can also use E6000 or 527 but they have fumes to worry about. Hope this helps!...
