but I am going to start putting our updates on this blog. Updating two websites is just a bit much so I will see how this works out for them. If it won't work then we will go back to the other website.
Vicki and Peggy have joined us on Thursdays! It is very good to have them there and Vicki is very very quick to pick up on this new craft. Of course, she has expert help with Peggy sitting right beside her. I think that June 4th was the last time I took pictures - it's been that long. I am looking forward to seeing everyone next week and what they have been working on.
This was Vicki's first effort at the spiral rope stitch. Pretty darned good!
Of course, Madeleine picked it up quickly as well - almost inhaled that stitch and it came out of her fingers! In this picture she is concentrating on learning the tubular peyote stitch with various sized beads. If you look closely you can see the black-and-what spiral rope necklace, earrings, and bracelet she made.
Laura started learning the tubular peyote with a bead mix - she might make a needle case at some point. I haven't gotten to see how this one came out, either. It seems like I have missed a lot for some reason!
Meanwhile, Bonani came back from London with a necklace and bracelet that a friend from Zimbabwe made for her. We had to get pictures so we can make it, too, some day. There are lots of possibilities here - this design is an opportunity to really display some colors. That's not my strong point but it certainly is for others in our group. This one is loomed but could easily be made in peyote stitch - either odd-count or even-count. 
And a beautiful bracelet to go with it. Lucky Bonani!
