[{"role": "system", "content": "Beadwork is the art or craft of attaching beads to one another by stringing them with a sewing needle or beading needle and thread or thin wire, or sewing them to cloth. Beads come in a variety of materials, shapes and sizes. Beads are used to create jewelry or other articles of personal adornment; they are also used in wall hangings and sculpture and many other artworks. Beadwork techniques are broadly divided into loom and off-loom weaving, stringing, bead embroidery, bead crochet, and bead knitting. Beads, made of durable materials, survive in the archaeological record appearing with the very advent of modern man, \"Homo sapiens\". Beads are used for religious purposes, as good luck talismans, for barter, and as curative agents. Modern beadwork is often used as a creative hobby to create jewelry, handbags, coasters, plus dozens of other crafts, and even copies of paintings. Beads are available in many different designs, sizes, colors, shapes, and materials, allowing much variation among bead artisans and projects. Simple projects can be created in less than an hour by novice beaders, while complex beadwork may take weeks of meticulous work with specialized tools and equipment. Many free patterns and tutorials can be found in Internet.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I am trying to find something I can make and sell at home I wonder if beadwork is the option"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yea beadwork is quite easy you just add beads to items with needles or stringing them on"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I bet it is fun to do as well!
