Based on the “Fluffy Beads” pattern designed by Laura Shea and published in the Dec 2011 Bead & Button magazine. I’ve modified it using less expensive basic supplies & then weird embellishments to add to the mysterious vibe of the piece. The pattern can be difficult to follow from the magazine, so we’ll walk through it together with suggestions I have added to make it different. This piece uses Right Angle Weave stitch and embellishment. Some beading experience is helpful, but this class is OK for beginners.

Gwen Fuller loves making wire-based jewelry and is teaching some great techniques here. It feels great to take a piece of wire and create your own findings, as well as jewelry! It’s also nice to know how to create strong components that don’t require any soldering! These basic pieces will give you the perfect base to expand on your handmade jewelry.

Breathtaking! Sparkly! Gorgeous! And, this “show-stopper” is not very difficult to make. You’ll feel like you’re ready to walk the red carpet, meet the Queen or star in the wedding of a lifetime. This crystal cuff can be made using vibrant colors, or in stunning clear & white to resemble a diamond masterpiece. A lovely way to learn netting & embellishing stitches. Some beading experience is helpful, but this class is OK for beginners.
