Today was the last bead stitch class for 2006. I finished most of this project the other day and attached the toggle and bar at class today.
This necklace is made using the peyote stitch. It kind of reminded me of a winding staircase.
All done! Since I'll be going back to Hawaii for a bit, the next class for me will be in April.
I bought these channel rings online and stitched a ring into the channels using the peyote stitch. My favorite is the white one.
A crocheted scarf.
A crocheted brooch with beads.
A pot holder and tea cosy for my host-sister.
Mini-bead purses.
Several bags which I sewed.
The intermediate level included the brick stitch.
Right-angle weave pearl bracelet.
A needle case cover using the peyote stitch.
And a lariat using the herringbone stitch and venetian beads.
The beginner level of bead stitch started off with the peyote stitch rings.

The final level before recieving my certification was called specialty level and included projects such as a mini-bag pendant.

Our last project was called "gorgeous" necklace. I wonder when the Queen of England will invite me over for tea...
Our first project was a necklace using "tegusu" to make a choker. This one was tough, because the beads are clear and so is the "thread".
Next was a glasses cord made with 9-pins and T-pins.
A bracelet using the "hachi-ami" or weaving to look like the number 8--sorry I don't know what it is called in English.
Mini purses using "tegusu"
A necklace using 1 "thread" called "tegusu" it looks like fishing line.
A necklace using nylon cord wire and "tsubushidama" (crimp beads).
Earrings using 9-pins (eye pins) and T-pins (head pins)
Using "tegusu" weaving a 1-layer ring
Using "tegusu" weaving a 2-layer ring
