Very lovely. so you do leather work too?
Nice lane stitch. I used that when I made a couple of fully beaded vests.
Let me know if you have questions on the loom.
Alas, I am neither on Facebook nor a bead-loomer. Thanks for the heads up, though.
If anyone likes free beads (what am I saying of course you all do) I'd recommend signing up for Precosia Beads for Blogposts. now these are the more traditional rounded seed beads but I've been getting some free samples for the past 6 months or so and was informed today that I'm getting one of the BIG 1000 g packages!
I have no idea what colors I'm getting but who cares! Free Lovely Beads!
Oh - beaders! Just who I've been looking for. I have a beaded necklace mystery.
I've been thinking about a necklace made for me back in elementary school (that was the late 60's probably) that spelled out my name when wrapped around my hand in a certain way. I'll attach a couple of photos.
The green beads are the ones that spell out the name. And I can't figure out how to make it work anymore. I've tried a few times, wrapping it around 2-3 fingers (my hand was much smaller when it was made) but nothing works. The green beads never spell out my name.
As I recall, I'd wrap it around my hand 5 times (5 letters in my name) and each row formed one letter. Or something like that.
Have you heard or or seen this before? I've been googling for answers for a couple of years but haven't found anything. I've checked Etsy to see if anyone makes these but no luck.
One of my schoolmates made them at home for several of us, but I never got the instructions. It just seemed magical.
I'd really like to know … it's part of my bucket list.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
