[Nfb-krafters-korner] future beading classes

Mon Oct 27 12:38:46 UTC 2008

Laurie;
I am willing to try anything once.  Can I make the choker longer if I
want?  I think having a sample will be very helpful.  Sure do not know
why I never got the first class to work.  I would love to learn earings.

I have a neet idea for a perl beeded handle for a plastic canvis baskit.

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
