Beadsare

Beadsare is a term used in beadwork and jewelry design to describe both a class of beads and a modular approach to beading that emphasizes geometric, repeating patterns. The term is not widely standardized and appears mainly in niche craft literature and online communities. Beadsare patterns typically rely on uniform bead sizes and precise threading to create tessellated motifs that can cover surfaces or form wearable parts such as bracelets and collars.

The technique often uses seed beads or other small, regularly shaped pieces, but can adapt to a range of bead shapes. The aesthetic focuses on symmetry, rhythm, and optical effects created by color placement. The modular units tessellate, allowing designs to scale from simple bracelets to larger decorative panels.

Historically, the concepts underlying Beadsare stem from informal bead weaving traditions found in various cultures, later refined in 21st-century craft communities. Many practitioners incorporate digital design tools to plan patterns before beading. Applications include jewelry, accessories, decorative panels, and educational kits. The term is thought to derive from blending "bead" with a generic suffix to denote a category.
