Holiday Ornament, Lois Hartwig and Mary Winters-Meyer. In this class, you will learn a simple technique for beading around a glass ball ornament. This is a quick project, using netting and fringe techniques.
Materials needed:
Please make sure to bring your ornaments to class, as the size of your ornament
can affect the design.
(Editor's note: I decided to include information for the January program. With all the hullabaloo of the holidays, I'm not sure if I will get the January newsletter finished before the January meeting.)
Wire Beaded Beads, Mary Winters-Meyer. In this class, we're going to kick back and have some fun with a very simple technique for making beaded beads with seed beads and wire. Guess what? No needles or thread required! You will, however, need some wire cutters.
Materials needed:
Possible Group Purchase? I've been corresponding with Karen DeSousa, author of Beaded Ornament Covers and the Celestial Series. Both of these have patterns for making beaded covers for glass ball ornaments. If there is enough interest, I can do a wholesale purchase and get 15% off of her ornament kits and 35% off her books. However, I will need a firm commitment to purchase, as there is a minimum to be met in order to get wholesale prices. Her books and pictures of the kits can be seen at: http://www.accentbead.com. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are interested in these books or kits.
Annual Member Dues of $15 are due in October. Please bring your dues to the next meeting or send them to the Society address. (P.O. Box 13, Congerville, IL 61729-0013.)
If you haven't filled out the member survey, please do at your earliest convenience. We want to know what you want to learn!
