[Nfb-krafters-korner] what is a cab ?

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Since you told us the other night about your limitations of sight, do you  
do this work under a CTV?  I am not sure if that is what they are called,  
but the magnified machines they have?

it is  not a bead at all, but a stone that is cut and polished.
In encrusted  beadwork, you "capture the cabochon" and you piece begins 
with 
capturing  your cabs. And, then you work from there.  I work on Laceys 
Stiff  
Stuff, and I use Fireline in my work.  To anchor my cab before  anything 
else 
begins, I use a very tiny "glue dot" to adhere the cab down  to the stiff 
stuff and so I can begin the bead working process on the  cab.

I use natural stones I gather from the rivers here in PA, and  other 
objects 
as well, besides stone cabs in my work.  My most recent  works tell a 
story. 
I use fabrics as a base, with the Lacey's Stiff Stuff  beneath the fabric - 
I 
baste them together to make them flat, and then I  begin the bead working. 
I 
work over top of the images on the fabric, as if  they were not even there. 
I 
disregard them completely as I work - thus,  creating an abstract painting 
out of beadworking.  This is called  "overcoming the surface."  It is very 
complex in execution and in  finished piece of art.
