Had a ball teaching my beadwork class today.  We had fun stitching.  I had men in my class (this always tickles me to pieces.  I love a guy who sews or knits!)  We chatted, we brainstormed and best of all, I think everyone “got it”.  Some of them didn’t love it as much as I do, but they figured it out.

I have lots of samples stitched by other people, but I didn’t really have anything I had stitched in the technique I was teaching, so I made my “Duet” bracelet.  That is a single row of lane stitch with a picot beaded edge (the two skills I taught in class).   Size 11/0 beads, stitched on wool felt with 8/2 perle cotton.  (Click the picture to see the whole thing)
