[Nfb-krafters-korner] safety pin beading pattern for flower blooms

[Blindhands at aol.com]

These type of patterns  use seed beads size 10 or 11, and size 1  safety 
pins which are 1 1/16 inch.  You don't wire them together instead  you use a 
#3 safety pin[2 inche]  Now what you do is after you have the  beads on your 
smaller pins you put the smaller pins on the larger pin, but you  need to 
twist it around the curve of your safety pin.  The large pin is  used to pin 
this on.  I have taken a piece of wire and put it thru all the  safety pins 
in the back to keep the pins together in order for it to keep them  close so 
folks seeing it.

Hello  all,



Sometime in October, there was a discussion on the list on  the topic of how
about.com had safety pin beading patterns, which were  inaccessible. I went
to the site and found some patterns I really wanted to  try, but could not
see the pictures. So I asked my sister, who has some  usable vision, to look
at the picture and describe it to me and write down  any instructions. So 
she
has done that by emailing it to me.  



She wrote the list of pins and the order of beads on each pin.  Then she 
said
that the pins were  wired vertically together. my  question is how exactly
should I wire them? I have only done a circular  pattern, so don't know how
to attach pins in this way.



My  sister says it is a pretty pattern. There are fourteen pins with ten
beads  on a pin, but the bead sizes and kinds of beads are  not  listed.



Any advice as to how to proceed would be appreciated.  



If some one would like to use this pattern to teach a class or  Monday night
bead along, , it might be nice for a spring project. I  probably would be
able to ask my sister to write down other patterns for us  to use for 
classes
or bead-alongs, if people are interested. I just can't  teach them myself
yet!



Contact me privately if you would  like to do  so.
