I agree with Sarah and Lisa, though I think it might be inspiring to have a "gallery" of items sometimes with a few comments on techniques used just for inspiration. I am so happy to have (finally) got internet access and discovered this site!

So many times, beaded decor items I see as projects look like er, um, well, I won't say.

In fact, I didn't even bother reading this beading daily post, until it was referenced in the next post.

I am going to see how I like some bead embroidery on some knit and felted pillows, but I'm only doing an outline. I feel if this type of project were shown in a magazine, it'd be filled in, and generally too . . . . um, not . . . well, anyway. Partly because of how and with what types of beads they'd fill it in with. Too flashy, too . . . tacky.

There, I said it. I think, for MY taste I'm saying, that the right little touch, done just SO, in understated or elegant or modern ways, in ways I find tasteful, the occasional little bit would work just fine.

Most beaded decor, though, I don't find to have much taste.

This is a PERSONAL matter of taste, and not a bash on anyone's projects; we all have our own ideas of decor, matters of personal style, and personal taste, so it's very individual.

I hope I don't get slammed for this, just being honest, which is what you want, I think.

Has anyone tried to wire wrap silverware or serving spoons? I recently tried, and the technique is easy enough, but I'm wondering how you finish off your pieces? Do you need to glue the ends down or fuse the silver wire to the serving spoon somehow to make it dishwasher safe?
