>>            Howdie folks:
>>
>> Try your hand at beadwork with a new basic bead stringing cclass held on 
>> Friday november 21 at 6pm central and have fun with a one session beading 
>> project.
>>

>> seed beads using seed beads and some larger focal beads and then 
>> finishing with your choice  of clasps.
>>
>> Please sign up with me at the following adress: freespirit1 at tds.nett. You

>> the conference call   and class recordings will not be posted to the list 
>> and blog.
>>
>> Here is what you'll need. Seed beads any color  in the sizes you desire 
>> and will feel comfortable working with, such as size 6 which are the 
>> largest seed bead, or subsequent smaller sizes such as 8 9 10 or 11. If 
>> you are not sure what the sizes feel ike, just remember that the 
>> corresponding sizes are measured in the number of beads it takes to make 
>> an inch. Size 6 seed beads when lined  up side by side measures 6 inches. 
>> Size 8 seeds require 8 beads to make an inch and so on. You should 
>> purchase at least 10 grams of seeds. .
>>
>> At least 10 large focal beads of any style in sizes4mm or larger.  This 
>> is where your artistic flare can work for you. I suggest beads such as 
>> fascited round or bicone crystals, gold filled or sterling silver letter 
>> or number beads, glass beads such as dechroic, fire polished  or fernus 
>> glass, gemstone nuggets or  pearls. the world is your oyster.
>>
>> A clasp  size 2.5mm  or its equillivant.  I suggest using a toggle clasp 
>> which has a ring on one end and a bar and ring on the other. Magnetic 
>> clasps are good for this project and are easy to fassin.
>>
>> I recommend using the big Eye beading needles. For those of you 
>> unfamiliar with beading needles. the big eye needles are easy to thread 
>> and require no needle threaders. They  look like 2 pieces of flexible 
>> wire attached at both ends that seperate and open in the middle. 
>> They come in a short and a longer size and either one will work.
>>
>>
>> bead thread in a nutral color such as Nymo brandSize F or any other 
>> beading thread in a large size. Power Pro, Fireline, or Spider Wire 
>> braided fishing line no smaller than a 10 pound test weight.
>>
>> If you have any questions please email me. If you would like to purchase 
>> your supplies online  http//www.fusionbeads.com will have all that you 
>> need with free shipping on any order.
