Here are some of the pieces that came out of the class. Very
nice work - creative and well-crafted. Miraculous
progress! I was so proud of them.
The class is very intense and really needs to be taught in 2 or
even three weeks.
We will be teaching a combination woven, knotted and braided
jewelry class at William Holland in June. That should be a
very interesting and lively class.
Don and I will each have the students about 2 1/2 days. We
plan to have 12 students if we can and split them so they have a
chance to build their skills a little more slowly.

Time
for Wildacres. I had a nice hard-working class of 5
and Don had 2 knotters in his class. We worked hard in
class, but didn't come in during the evening as we had
before, but I did find that the students were sometimes
working until 3:00 am on their pieces. It is a huge
amount of work to do in a short time.
The pieces were very well crafted and creative.
Lovely work.

This is a finished woven pendant with an azurite /
malachite stone. It looks a lot like the stone that
was sold to me as a genesis stone.
Definitely a little too complicated for a tutorial I
believe, though I might be able to teach it one-on-one.
It isn't really hard to do, but it is a little hard to
fit. Maybe time for a video.
Something very silly - I am wanting to write a couple of
tutorials, but my nails are so awful I don't want them in
pictures --

I
have been working on a second woven pendant for Wildacres.
This one is a little difficult because you have to weave
then fit and weave then fit.
This photo does not do any justice at all to the stone.
It is a true purple chariote and quite fantastic.
