Summertime Fun Beading Classes

Allow me to introduce my 10 year old twin granddaughters, Dive & Ella and my 12 year old niece Kathryn.
For the next few days I will be teaching them a variety of beading techniques and trying to fit in some other fun as well.
Today we did Shamballa bracelets and they are progressing well with their tiger stripe peyote stitch bracelets. Yesterday Kathryn taught us all how to make survival braclets and Diva will be teaching the crystal bracelets but she will be using round beads instead.

 I taught her (& she perfected) this technique earlier in the year and I told her then that she would be teaching this summer.
I hope you enjoy the photos from the classes and a variety of other activities we are going to take part in.
We did make it to the lake today for an hour of swimming but I forgot the camera.

Beading Class

Here are a couple of items from little class I did recently. The top photo is one of my designs that was completed by an 8 year old. The bottom photo was designed and completed in one day by my 19 year old niece.

Sorry I have been away for so long. Our family has had some heavy trials and although they continue things are fairly well in hand, at least for now.
I am very excited about my new program and am desperately trying to get some time to play with it.
Many of you know that I have been working full time at an actual "day job" so that does not lend much of an opportunity to work in the studio. Hopefully now that things have mellowed a bit I can spend more time here. The job ends in June, so please hang in there with me! I have a lot of designs on the drawing board just waiting for the time to devote to getting them done.
I did manage to get some inventory for the jewelry store that is selling my wares fast and furious. I feel very fortunate for that.
The hats have slowed down now, a little trickle ever now and then but I can rest a bit on those for now.
