Daisy Bracelet
by Jimmie L. Boatright
This bracelet is designed with circles of beads that are connected with picots of smaller beads. It is a unique thread path and can easily be done by a new beader. The bracelet works up quickly and looks great in many different colors.
Peyote Twist Bracelet
by Jimmie L. Boatright
This is a beginner class designed to teach peyote stitch with embellishment. It will also include how to end a thread and start a new thread. The base is made with peyote stitch and the top is embellished with a variety of beads. Many different ways to embellish this bracelet will be shown. It has been a huge hit at the Atlanta Bead Market, where I teach regularly.
Soldering For Beaders
by On The Rocks
If you have had trouble with your jump rings or split rings remaining closed and secure, this is the class for you. Learn to solder using a soldering iron and your troubles will disappear! All tools and supplies are provided for the class but you should bring magnification (glasses, visor, etc. ) with you if you have it. Equipment will be available for sale after the class.
Tila Earrings
by On The Rocks
This is an original design by Sharon Kyser. Learn how to use Tila beads to bezel Rivoli crystals. It makes a stunning pair of earrings. Kits are available or you can bring your own supplies. This class is a basic weaving class, but some previous weaving experience is recommended.
Waterfall Necklace
by Jimmie L. Boatright
This necklace is made with tiny size 15 seed beads. A center tube is created using peyote and the strands that fall from it are made with a 2 - bead peyote stitch. It is my original design and was created to look like small chain. It would be helpful to bring magnification.
