I am so excited to have been asked to be a guest teacher at Indigo Beads in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Starting on March 28, 2009, I will begin a two part "Bead Embroidered Pendant" class. When that is finished, I will be teaching a beadweaving class. I love to teach beading techniques and see the excitement in the eyes of the students. What a wonderful thing to look forward to!
Also, my very favorite student has finished her first Bead Embroidered Cuff, and it is fabulous!! My Mom, Kay Easton, has been doing embroidery of all sorts for as long as I can remember. Sometime around Christmas, I finally convinced her to try bead embroidery. She made a beautiful pendant and was instantly hooked. Now she has completed her first cuff, and here it is!
This cuff was inspired by 6 Atlantic seashell focal pieces and adorned with freshwater pearls, gemstone chips, swarovski crystals, Czech firepolished beads, delica beads, seed beads and Charlottes. Isn't it beautiful?!?
