I took a class with Sheilah Cleary at B/B and love the technique-once I mastered it after four unpickings. Bought my own equipment and carried it home. Had to have a good reason for a bigger suitcase! Have made up two necklaces and have more planned. Rio Grande has a necklace in their catalogue made with semi precious beads, I think peridot is one. Anyway, they are beaded over rubber and expensive. I want to try to get the effect with kumihono
Have found a neighbour, we live in the country, so she is about two miles away who also has the equipment, plus spare bobbins and books. She has just moved house so has to find where she put them. She loved my necklace and got excited about possibilities.
At last, someone who wants to bead living near me.
Cheers, Jan
