What better project to do in October than something for Halloween. We made witch hat earrings from Kelly Dale's Off the Beaded Path. Her You Tube videos are great!

Our beading group just finished the Vortices bracelet pattern by Kassie Shaw from an article in Beadwork magazine, Feb-Mar 2017. It used a very different closure technique with snaps! It creates a continuous look as opposed to seeing a clasp. However, it does show thickness where the two rows overlap. We can't decide if we like the look or not. But the bracelet itself is lovely.

Once again I haven't done what I had hoped to do here. But here are a couple of projects that our group has done recently.

Time

Oh my, where did the time go. I started this blog to post about our group beading projects and somehow got lost along the way. No promises but I hope to post some past projects as well as the ones that we are doing now.

First Post

Our little beading group needs a place to post activities so I decided to start this blog to make that happen. Most of the group are also members of the Livermore Valley Lithophiles Gem and Mineral Club. But anyone in the area who is interested is welcome to join us. We started the group about a year and a half ago. At the time, we were mostly doing bead stringing but decided after a few months that we wanted to expand our activity to include beadwork. Usually each month we have a new project. More to follow......
