[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: to members of fine wire necklace class

[Barb Roland]

Terry, I put beads on every stitch, I believe I did 3 blues, next stitch I 
did 1 silver, next was 3 blues again.
I've been asked to make 5 more so far and am thinking I'll be adding more 
beads to each stitch, just to fill it in a bit more, although, with the 
beads being able to slide around a bit does add to the interest of the piece 
I think,  to be honest, I really like mine as it is.
With it coming out looking like an i cord, the beading pattern itself is not 
really that noticable, you could use just one color if you wanted to, I'm 
thinking gold wire with pearl beads next for something really delicate and 
fancy.
BTW, my spool loom had 4 pegs, so that is what I used.
