So I am learning how to make a Mabaan beaded bracelet. And WOW it's really hard. I think more of the problem for me is getting the bead onto the string. Usually they put 2-5 threads through a bead at a time, that's the hard part. I can get 3 or 4 but somehow one misses. But Rebecca is teaching me. I haven't figured out the whole making a pattern part yet. I am looking forward to learning more and more. Rebecca is really patient with me as I am just learning. Usually she is stringing the beads, breastfeeding her daughter Wakay, and teaching me while we sit surrounded by neighbors, friends & sometimes up to 20 children!
