Penelope was the wife

Greece. They were primarily funerary crowns but I
have also read that they were often worn on special
occasions.
In this workshop, you
will learn to make ivy leaves, oak leaves and acorns
using cylinder beads and size 15 seed beads. There
is homework for the workshop where you will learn
Russian Spiral. You will also learn to bezel a cameo
with seed beads and how to make it a detachable
pendant. |

The leaves are
stitched with increases on one side and
decreases on the other side, giving your work a
lot of flexibility. The little flowers are fun
and easy to make. Strung together, they create a
very lace-like work.
Project will not be completed in class.

July 19, Saturday

Skill level: Advanced
Remembering summer evenings, listening to the
song of crickets and the whispering of the wind
through the bamboo, inspired me to stitch
“Summer Serenade”. The bamboo is stitched in
simple tubular peyote stitch and the cricket is
stitched in tubular and diagonal peyote stitch.
The cricket is stitched in 15˚ beads;
I recommend students bring extra size 11˚ beads
to stitch a –try out- cricket first. Please
refer to July 6, and July 7, for beginning
classes in these stitches if you need to learn
or brush up on them.
