[Nfb-krafters-korner] future beading classes

[Laurie Porter]

The string class will be a simple choker with 2 rows of seed beads connected 
to several larger sized beads of your choice.

The stretch chord is one strand of beads strung on flexible chord and does 
not need a clasp.

Peyote stitch are seed beads woven together in an interlocking flat pattern. 
Square stitch  and ladder stich is also woeven flat with seed beads but the 
beads line up pstraight, not interlocking as in Peyote.

Right angle weave is just like the term implies where several rows of flat 
beadwork are woven together at right angles from eachother. Netting is very 
similar to Raw.

There are 2 kinds of beading stitches that are woven together to form a 
chord like appearance. there is Haringbone and spiral rope chain. I'd be 
happy to teach classes in these techniques as well. the chord like bracelet 
can also be achieved with bead crochet which I do not know how to do yet.

Hope this helps.

Laurie
