my fullest class at Bead and Button with 20 people. Thank goodness for Liz, who again has agreed to join me and be my co-teacher so that we can make sure everyone is attended to as needed. It's an advanced class, incorporating my version of cubic raw for the top and embellishment and a St. Petersburg lace necklace. St. Petersburg is simple enough, even the double part for the bail, but not everyone is versed in it, so I expect there will be some learning involved.
I also continue to debate with myself the use of colored directions and a step further, color specific directions per kit. It is a lot of overhead to accomplish that, but the difference in quality is also an added bonus to the beader......
At a minimum I would like to make a color specific supply list, like this one, still overhead, but maybe not quite as much....my goal is to have Lilliana complete and ready for kitting by Monday so I can return to book illustration full time.
But one does need some down time, and today we're off for a longer walk with Miss Maya in tow, the highlight of her days!
The picture of Lilliana in those colors is eyecatching!

ReplyDeleteIt is and I don't know Game of Thrones, but I think it is probably a rather iconic shape.

ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous! I am apprehensive to sign up for master beading classes for just the reason you spoke of. The written directions are not in color and I cannot follow them later when I attempt another piece. Disheartening and frustrating. Your extra work will be appreciated by your students (who tell 2 people, who tell 2 people,who tell 2 people). I enjoyed reading your thought process and look forward to your blog posts.
ReplyDeleteWe can do it Marcia - it's worked for the past number of years and I am so fortunate to work with you. I look forward to it every year. It's not just work - it's fun!
