I've been to Pilates and paid the bills so now it is time to play.
I worked on the beads yesterday and got it together. I like how the bead turned out but I don't think the Jessica stitch is done correctly.
The colors aren't right - green necklace, teal bead. I wonder if I can buy the stuff to make a necklace of a better color to go with my beads.
I don't have the hang of the headpin bending yet. Some of the pictures of the beads seem to show just little rings sewn to the edge. I guess I could do that. I like how the edge turned out.
You just put a strip of heavier paper around the bead and stitch over it. I asked about the pictured bead for this class and the designer said she would send it to me. Yeah!
Uh-oh, I'm feeling the urge to start something new.....

Hi Amy,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all I wanted to wish you and your family a lovely 2013!
I enjoyed reading your blog last year and will be doing so this year.
I'm also considering entering the Cabinet of Curiosities class but the only thing that frightens me a lot is the amount she's asking (if I'm correct this doesn't even include the casket). If there are any tips you want to share ... they're highly welcome! ;-)
Have fun with your beads this weekend!
Kind greetings,
Ann
Lovely bead Amy. I like the edging. Looks really professional. New year=new starts aplenty so go for it!
