[NFB-Krafters-Korner] FW: Last day to sign up

Fri Aug 28 19:35:38 UTC 2020

Thank you Terry, Bernice, and our Joice.

I have always been scared to try these bead projects. I don't have a lot of
strength in my hands. So, my chicken suit is out to be laundered. That means
I can give it a good try. Plus my husband is here to help, smile. Hush,
don't tell him, giggle. 

My picture on Zoom has the Northern Lights behind me.

Larger pieces, we used thicker wirer, 16 or 18 gage, I think.
This is a very small item and does not have much weight, but something like
a Christmas tree, you would have to use stronger, thicker wirer.

Bernice, and anyone who knows about the wire, do we always use 26 gage wire
in beading?

Here is the list of materials, just in case you want to get your own and
join us.

The original list of materials didn't have a wire cutter, but even if you
asked for one of the kits I put together, you will need a wire cutter to
trim each piece of wire.

1.           31, 6 mm faceted beads
2.           40, 8 mm faceted beads
3.           10, 18 mm star beads
4.           10, tri beads
5.           10, number 2 safety pins
6.           24 inches, 26 gage craft wire

Please do the following for home work before the class. Put 3 8 mm beads on
each of 10 safety pins. If you have a kit from me, the smaller zip lock bag
has the 8 mm beads. I put a couple of extra of everything except the cut
wire. So, don't worry that you didn't make enough at any step.

Have a fantastic weekend, and if you ever have a question, please feel free
to send me an email at Bernice.j.bird at gmail.com.
