Mastering the Curl |
|
September 11, Thursday
6:00 - 9:00PM
$55
Skill Level:
Beginner to Advanced
|
|
Mastering the Curl is
Jeannette's signature class! This class has
continued to be a favorite class among
beaders since the mid 1980's because it is fun
for people with all beading skill levels. This
simple variation on the Peyote Stitch is easier
than it looks, and a quick project. The Curl is
such a wonderful pendant when it is finished.
She loves teaching this class and watching as
the excitement builds as the class goes on and
the curl begins to take shape. You can shop for
the perfect blown glass or lampwork bead to
nestle in the opening at the top once you are
finished with your curl. Too fun!!! |

Drop Pendant or Earrings |

Prerequisite: Pre-class homework and must
know Right Angle Weave.
This lovely little pendant
is packed with sparkle and personality! Little
pearls and a Briolet dangle add interest. (As
always, you can change the colors and stones to
match your own color preferences.) Make your own
brooch pin or hang it from a neck chain beaded
or not.
Prefer Earrings? You can leave the center open,
add ear wires and have an elegant pair of
earrings. Step out in either or both of these
creations and dazzle any one who sees you!

Create a very sparkly
Swarovski crystal encrusted pendant using Right
Angle Weave as the base. Suspend it from two
tubular pieces, one Peyote and one Herringbone,
which are gently curved to resemble the rooftop
of a Pagoda. Hang two square rings, or a square
ring and a rivoli from the bottom, make a
crystal embellished Right Angle Weave necklace
strap with a Brick Stitch toggle and you have an
amazingly beautiful necklace that is truly a
showpiece! |

look from day to night. |
