[Nfb-krafters-korner] a request for information

I wonder if I'd have the patience for that.  It just sounds lovely.  I really ought to try some day.

Warm regards,

  I have recently begun learning bead weaving. I didn't know there was
  anything more than stringing beads before a friend sat me down and got me
  started. There have been a couple of classes in the past on this group that
  hopefully will be repeated. I have learned the Peyote stitch and the Russian
  Spiral, thus far. I began learning Right Angle Weave, but didn't get far in
  my first lesson. The only one of these stitches I can do independently thus
  far, from start to finish, is Peyote and I learned the one drop stitch
  first. You can do multiple bead drops in Peyote. I know this sounds like
  Greek to you, but it has to do with how many beads you put on at a time. In
  one drop, I have made two bracelets. It is a flat bracelet, much like a wide
  watch band only made of beads that snug up to one another very close and in
  a pattern. It is pretty easy for me to feel with size 8 seed beads. I know
  some people work with size 15 beads which are roughly half the size of a
  size 8 bead. They are tiny and I have seen a cuff style bracelet made with
  size 15 beads and it is so fine that it feels like silk. It's amazing. I'm
  not proficient enough to teach a class, but hopefully Joyce will be able to
  find someone on the list who will. I would love to take bead weaving classes
  through this group as well as working with my friend. She is a great
  teacher, but we both struggle with starting and finishing projects. Good
  luck to you.

  do you know of a good source for information about beading and beaded
  jewelry making?  I'm newly retired,but  craft impaired.   I'd really like to
  learn this as I have friends who do it but don'thave the time to teach me. I
  want to make nice stuff not the kind of beading my three year old grand
  daugter gives me.  Of course i treasure that but I'm quite a bit older.
  Anxiously awaint ann answer and have a blessed day.
