Maybe the German community would be so kind to make it?
I think I am doing something wrong because I really have to struggle for each bead that I crochet and it takes me about 3-5 hrs to make one beaded bead with 11 size seed beads and a 15mm bead (including 30mn to string 270 seed beads according to a pattern). Is it normal?
Tibouchine, I tried yesterday to make a beaded bead with slip stitch only, but after the second row I gave up and kept with single crochet. I still haven't finished it and I wonder if I will, it seems to take ages.
I want to see how those wonderful German artists crochet the beaded beads with the 15 size seed beads. Anyone volunteers? :-) Please...
I searched in Youtube but found instructions only for a beaded crochet rope and I want to see how they crochet a bead!

Thank you so much Anke for your important and useful information. However, I don't know German and I think it would be better for me to have a tutorial in English or with an English translation.
Anyhow, I appreciate very much your comment. Maybe if I don't find any English explanation I will end up by purchasing those interesting CDs. Thank you!

Judith, when I do crocheted BBs: Before I start a new row, I separate the amount of beads I will have to use for this row. Usually I attach small paper clips on the thread/yarn in order to fix the "separation". So I always know exactly, how many beads I must crochet in a round. I even separate the different "groups" within one round, so I never fail to do the correct increases/decreases.
Perhaps this is helpful
Kind regards
Tibouchine
here is an address for a free pattern to crochet a bead.
hope it's what you wanted.
cheers! :)

Hi Judith,
I'm Dora from Hungary.(www.doragyongyei.blogspot.com)
Could you give me your e-mail address? Maybe I can help you.
Regards,
Thank you Gina for the link, but it is not actually what I am looking for. The link refers to a crocheted bead but without the seed beads. I made once a crocheted bead with seed beads, but there are too many spaces and the thread is seen (which is not the expected result, you can also see my post about it http://judith27k.blogspot.com/2009/01/happy-new-year-2009-my-friends.html).Therefore, I was looking for a tutorial on how to crochet a bead with seed beads as is traditionally done by the German beadwork community, also with 15 seed beads in such a way that you don't see any space and you may think it is brick stitch or another beadwork stitch ( not related to crochet). By the way, there is an artist called Yael Krakowsky which creates amazing beadwork based on crocheting with seed beads. I have the link in my roll and I recommend you to check it. Anyway, thanks for trying to help :-)
Dear Tibouchine, that is a helpful tip which can save from mistakes. When I tried last time, I separated the beads by putting the relevant ones close to the work and put the rest much away from them. My main difficulty is with the crocheting itself, I use too many force to enter the bead+thread and I am afraid that If I don't do so, the bead is going freely to whatever direction it likes.
