Beaded Curtains have been put on hold, as I have discovered some NEW and EXCITING things out about my stitch.

With the help of Bev and my search on The Aspects of Beading I have found that I use the 2 Needle Right Angle Weave. Also, with the help of Bev and the instructions I found at http://www.ptialaska.net/~beadgal/index_page0002.htm (page no longer available) I have developed a faster way to bead.

I am presently putting this information into ebook form for you.

Hoping to having it up soon,

Quite busy here at the home front. Tomorrow I go to teach my first class. Friday, Sept. 10th, I do my second class. And Saturday, Sept. 11th I go to my first show.

All new, but very exciting. I have been getting ready the last few weeks. Due to this, I have fallen behind on some of the patterns I want to get out. I am hoping to be caught up by the end of Sept.

Do you have any questions? Please e-mail any and all questions you may have about FacetedBeadArt. No question is too small.

Got to go, lots of work to do.

Happy Beading,

I hope you are all having a great Summer. Here, summer forgot it was suppose to come and visit. We have had mostly cloud days in the 60's and 70's.

The beaded curtains are taking a bit longer than anticipated to put together. I do have two patterns up and ready though and hope to have two more for next month.

Please visit my Beaded Patterns Home Page and get a copy of my new instructional eBook: FacetedBeadArt Beaded Curtains.

This is a new venture, so please feel free to ask questions.

Hard At Work. I am in the process of designing beaded curtains. This is a totally new idea and requires a lot more work than my previous patterns.

My first attempt seemed to be working during the designing process, however, when I actually started beading it, I found that I had to make some adjustments.

My five year old daughter wants this "not-so-perfect" curtain, so I will be finishing it up for her. But simultaneously, I am working on another curtain which is being beaded according to the adjusted design and which I trust will work well.

I will try to keep you posted on the progress, and hopefully I will be able to put up a couple of patterns in the next few months.
