[River Woman]

No, Terry, I have not used plastic canvas for anything. Your tree sounds 
very nice and you should do it.

>> Hi Linda:
>>
>> I looked at your website and you are a truly remarkable artists. I'm a
>> totally blind seed beader who works with very tiny beads. I teach
>> beading classes on both loom and off loom seed bead stiches. However,
>> I have never done embroidery. I suspect that bead embroidery is
>> similar to regular embroidery except that you have to load those beads
>> onto your thread. Once you get the touch for seed beads, you can allow
>> the rest of your talents to come through and use them. For someone
>> newly blind, i recommend beginning with larger beads. It didn't take
>> me long to develop the touch for size 10s and smaller.  Please see the
>> website for class postings. they are free to those who join the
>> division and they are done over a conference call and also recorded
>> and sent out to the class participants which are downloaded into mp3 
>> files. We hope to see you soon.

>> thanks,
