Two new seedbead classes with Barb Switzer

Today we launched two new classes with Barb, and we offer optional materials kits for both in gorgeous color pallets.

Figure S Bracelet
Embellish basic right angle weave into an undulating, curving serpent that wraps back and forth and around your wrist. Mix seed beads of different sizes and bicone crystals to change basics into something surprising. String and crimp to finish this eye-catching, funky bracelet.

Intermediate Level: Students should be very familiar with right angle weave. This class assumes you know the dynamics and thread path of right angle weave. Students must also be proficient at stringing and crimping.

Mendo Moondrop Earrings

Learn a delicate droplet earring with great shape and style. The Mendo Moondrop uses right angle weave plus embellishment to create a great curve with a little dimension. Finish up with a wire wrapped center to attach an ear wire or chain, and add drop of style to your accessories!

Prerequisite: Students should be very familiar with right angle weave. This class assumes that you know the dynamics and thread path of right angle weave. It is recommended that students be able to turn a basic round loop or wire wrap, but not necessary.

Felting...that's a wrap!

We just finished shooting with the lovely Gail Crosman Moore.
She came all the way out from Massachusetts to shoot some felting classes with us. I knew nothing about felting before this shoot and now I can't wait to sit down and felt felt felt....it's SO COOL!


We shot a FREE class on making a simple felted bead. Then we buckled down and shot an earring class and a class on making a felted treasure pouch.







These classes are in line to be edited. We will let ya know when they are ready.
