Meant for You
Cover Me with Kisses
A right angle weave project beaded with an interesting twist. 3mm Swarovski pearls and 4mm Swarovski crystals. Firepolish would certainly be another option.
All Night Long
Two layers of pretty. Right Angle Weave components connected with even more bling. Metal seed beads, Swarovski 4mm and 3mm crystals and of course my favorite Swarovski pearls.
Savannah Heat
Designed specifically for the Old South Bead Retreat in Savannah, GA. in September 2017. A Right Angle Weave project with buried Swarovksi treasures.
Hanky Panky
A little bit of CRAW, PRAW and RAW and throw in some Peyote. Makes a great bracelet or necklace. Made with metal seed beads and Swarovski pearls or bicones or any embellishment that works. Even a little FIrepolish!
Loose Smooch
Quick, catch that smooch on the loose! We don't want any to go to waste. A right angle weave bracelet embellished with Swarovski crystals and pearls and secured by a hidden snap clasp.
These are my workshops that I teach at various bead stores and for bead societies around the country. Because of my intense dislike of dealing with kits, I do not teach at any of the shows. That is one of my choices that keeps beading FUN for me. My current workshops that I am teaching are not for sale. My retired workshops are for sale and they can be found in my Etsy shop, "SturdyGirlDesigns", along with many other tutorials that didn't make the workshop status.
Tickle My Fancy
A right angle weave cuff with a hidden snap closure. Embellished with your favorite crystals. Whatever spot you might want to tickle, this will do the trick.
Pure Right Angle Weave with 11/0 metal seed beads and Swarovski pearls and just a few crystals thrown in here and there.
Night Moves
Brand new for 2017 and designed for the Heart of Texas Bead Retreat in September. It will be available after that date for a workshop. All Right Angle Weave with some amazing embellishment for fun.
Enough is Enough
Brand new for 2017! This one is so much fun to make. that I couldn't stop. Right Angle Weave done with an interesting twist that makes this a special layered bracelet.
