UMBS October Beading Basics Live
Saturday October 16th, 2021 1:00-4:00pm CST
As always, these classes are free to all members and non-members!
Back by popular demand...Our first hour will be a repeat of Jan Carlson's Russian Leaf Earrings from our August Demo & Do event. Jan Carlson is a retired project manager who took up beading to exercise the creative side of her brain (as opposed to her logical work) and started her business, Jan’s Strands, LLC. Her beading techniques include bead needlework and kumihimo, and is just starting to work in beadweaving and free-form peyote. Jan uses multiple techniques to make earrings, bracelets and necklaces and uses patterns and ideas from various designers to inspire her work. She enjoys making a design her own by selecting pleasing color combinations. Jan is a board member of the Upper Midwest Bead Society. Her membership in this group has resulted in many new friends, learning new techniques and continual inspiration from the creations of other members. Jan volunteers and sells her jewelry at the Art Shoppe in the Midtown Global Market.

Becky Pancake will be using the second hour to teach us Chenille stitch. This technique is used mainly to create beaded ropes. It can be done with size 8, size 11, Demi's or any combination of the above. You can use 8's with 8's, 11's with 11's, or 8 's or 11's with demi's. Each will produce a slightly different look. As with any stitch it is easier to learn with larger beads then move on to smaller ones. Becky recommends using two colors so that it is easier to keep track of your place. The rope in the picture is done with purple size 11 seed beads and turquoise size 8 Demi's. Have your beads ready as well as a needle and thread.
