New Beadowork & Another One Assimilated

Here's a link to a couple of things I recently finished. One photo is horribly blurred (taken with old digital camera) but you can get the idea.

One of the ladies in my building who does crochet, knitting, ceramics, needlepoint, etc has asked me to teach her to bead. Lessons begin tomorrow night. Muhahahahaha! Another one bites the dust! Linda2

Very nice Linda. Shirley

Ooooooo, I like them both, but your torturing me with the beaded beads! I want to try those!

It's a simple flat peyote 14 long and 5 wide, then zipped up to form the bead. The instructions are in Easy Bead Woven Bracelets by Bead & Button, with 9 other ab-fab patterns in it!

Beware: they make up quickly and are tres addicting!

Oooooooooooo, I have that and didn't recognize it! I think yours is even prettier!

Thanks, Jerri. Replied to you privately about the bugle beads.

So nice i too have problems with blurry photos on jewelry seems i need something called a tent to do better with the lighting and you guys wonder why i dont post more! I really should take some of the beaded rings i make sigh!

Vicky,

Get a tripod if your pictures are blurry. You can get a mini tripod for under $20 at the big retailers I believe. I think mine was on sale for $10 and it's a lifesaver. It's less than a foot tall but extends to 4 feet when you pull out the legs. It won't hold a heavy camera but I don't have one, so I don't need to worry about that. I rarely pull out the legs for bead pictures though.

Learn about your levels setting in your photo editor to make whites white.
