[Nfb-krafters-korner] future beading classes

Wed Oct 29 11:52:27 UTC 2008

Thanks Laurie;
Sounds logical.  I have plenty of sizes to choose from from the first
class and many left over beads from when my husband did beading.  
A friend of mine does great beading work.  I got to see a beautiful blue
necklace done with different shaped beads.  It had some of the triangle
beads, in it.  I would have bought it, but the shade of blue would have
been hard for me to coordinate.  I got another blue one that has
different shades of blue.  She had some of those clasps that are a
circle with a bar that fits inside to lock.  I kind of like the ones
that screw together.  Is it posible to buy magnets, in the future, to
make a magnetic neclace.  These are neet for the handicapped and if made
long enough, you can make designs out of the end of the necklase.  The
one I have, I make into a knot, a V or just a circle.  The magnets make
it keep its shape.  If you do not know, it does not have a closure.

Sure, I'll keep you posted. Are you saying you want kits? I do not
provide kits for all the classes. Just the bead weaving classes. I don't
see the need to provide samples for the stringing classes and you can
use whatever beads you have on hand for those stringing classes.
