• Bead Embroidered Bracelet
  August 2009
  Level 2
  This fantastic bracelet can be made with any cabochons and "bead soup" you might have lying around the house. This is a techniques class for the bracelet only and does not include the EXACT paper pattern to make the bracelet. A working knowledge of setting cabochons in seed beads is not necessary since the techniques show a variation of setting cabochons using square stitch, but if students already know the peyote technique and prefer it, they are welcome to use it instead. Instruction covers basic bead embroidery, setting a cabochon in square stitch beadwork, and the edging picot stitch. Prerequisite: Some seed bead work and sewing work is helpful.
  
  
• Cascade Pendant
  July 2009
  Level 1
  A beginning wirewrapped pendant. Teaches the same skills used for earrings and charm bracelets. This looks complex, but wait until you see how easily it works up!
• Royal Ruffles Bracelet (photo coming soon)
  July 2009
  Level 3
  A beautiful variation on peyote stitch with two clasp possibilities. Students must know even count flat peyote stitch before this class.
