Beadwork stretches back to the beginnings of the human race, and it is common from one culture to the next. As soon as somebody took a vine, stripped the leaves off, discovered an old shell with a hole in it, and threaded it in, beading was born.

The reasons may vary from one culture to another. Perhaps someone thought the shell was beautiful and planned to put it on. Could have been that it was an extraordinary shell, treasured by the people, and it was used for power. Perhaps the idea of an oyster making a pearl reminded them of their children and so they carried it to honor their fertility gods. No matter what the reason, the outcome was the same, a mastered skill which ended up with some stunning pieces of beadwork art.

In contemporary society so much of what we see is machined, that is to say, somebody programed a machine with a pattern, which is turned out in bulk with automated accuracy. But so much of the life of a piece disappears in that manner. Even if an artisan, hand-crafted the identical design with the same color beads dozen times, each one would be discreetly different, letting the owner to truly own a wholly unique piece to name their own.

If you are serious about learning beadwork, it is the single most easy things to learn.

Additionally there is a plethora of free coaching materials online, both in written as well as video form. You will not run out of things you can do!
