The specialty level class was the level right before receiving my beads skill certification.

And a cell phone strap, using 9-pins to create a flower pattern (colorful).



Our last project was called "gorgeous" necklace. I wonder when the Queen of England will invite me over for tea...

The advanced class included a necklace using Tpins and 9-pins.







A 2-layer ring using "tegusu"








A 3-layer ring using "tegusu"







And a lariat and domed ring using bead balls

bead skill-intermediate level

The next level was an intermediate level.

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"

bead skill-beginner level

The next level called beginner level, included these projects.

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

bead skill-introductory class

I started beading about 3 years ago as a favor to Satoshi. He needed people to fill his quota for membership at a company culture class.

Here was our first project, a Rondele ring.







Next, a necklace using nylon cord wire and a bead ball.







A ring that was made to look like a cross.







A bracelet using an eye pin (it is called 9-pin in Japanese because it looks like the number 9).






A necklace using nylon cord wire.
