I could never really get into bead stringing by and of itself, but I'd love to learn sometime in the context of wire jewelry-making. I see a lot of beading on wire jewelry pieces that just floors me with how pretty it looks.
I fell in love with wire wrapping mostly because I love metals. ^^ There's just something so shiny about sterling silver and copper. Gold-filled wire is more expensive but it's worth it compared to gold-plated. I want to delve into hammering and possibly soldering metal, too - there just seems to be so many things you could do with those tools, and I'd love to make metallic-ish/steampunk/cyberpunk-style jewelry. ^^
