 Two views of the Peanut Gator Bracelet designed by Adele Kimpell.  Sandy Taylor will be teaching this right angle weave project on Friday night, March 9th, 6 to 8 PM, cost is $15.00 and since fees go directly to our instructors, please pay fees with cash or a check.

Materials needed for this include 1 color of the new Matsuno 'Peanut' beads,

2 colors of size 11 seedbeads, and either 3.4 Rose Montees or 4mm round Czech glass.

We would be more than happy to help coordinate colors for you.

On Saturday, March 10th, Nancy will be teaching her Embroidered Button technique.

From 1 to 4 PM, and cost is $15.00 (cash or check, please)

Materials needed are a button, 3 or 4mm firepolish, size 11 or size 15 seedbeads,

3.4 mm drops,  size 8 seedbeads and needle and thread.

You can bring whatever materials you have and if you need

anything additional, Bead Street can help you choose.

The following photo is a cuff created by Nancy Sathre-Vogel. 

She used beaded embroidery to create this cuff and

don't let this scare you.

Nancy starts with baby steps with the mini-version above 

and will teach you everything you need to try this cuff if you so desire.

Beaded Emboidery

This Beaded Embroidered Button class was scheduled at Bead Street as a special request from the gals you see in these photos.  They signed up before seeing a class sample - actually they signed up before they even knew what Nancy Sathre-Vogel was teaching.


Irene and Deb conferring on color choices.

                                         Notice the table - students brought snacks -
                                           looks more like a party than a bead class.



Joy used a stone center and
then embellished the sides
 creating a lot of depth





Deb used a Czech Glass button












    

Janet & Masoumeh started with the same button.
But with different beads - looked totally different.

  

Again, our 14 year old Irene ran 'circles'
around everyone.

 

Laura made great progress on
a beautiful MOP piece

 

In the beginning, things went well.  Nancy, as usual, conveyed a 'ton' of info. 

 She has done bead embroidery a long time and was able to break down the steps

into easy pieces so that everyone was able to finish their project. 

 But, towards the end of the evening, things got out of control. 

There seems to be a little rivalry between Janet and Joy

 on who is the "most entertaining student". 

 The jury is still out.

These are some of Nancy's embroidered cuffs.  She does absolutely stunning work and the photos show how talented she is.   I have no doubt that the gals in Nancy's class will produce equally beautiful pieces.  They now have the tools, but may not get the time until after Christmas. 

 I can't wait to see what they come up with.
