Beading

I was lucky enought to take an awesome class from Jeanne Craine, held at our local bead store, Your Design. She taught Freeform Peyote to four of us - and we had a wonderful time and learned so much!

Here is my first freeform peyote bracelet, begun in class:





Here is a picture of the bracelet closed:
I love this clasp - it is called a rumpled knot, and is a multistrand hook & eye clasp. I just used 13's to cover where I sewed it onto the bracelet.




So much fun that I immediately made another:



And I have the next one's colors and beads all picked out. Thanks, Jeanne!

You are most welcome-but you did it-I just shared with you some techniques!! You have a real flair for the Freeform-the textures and colors!!
