Anne DeStefano taught us how to load beads on the cords in our kumihimo disks, and how to start the braid and work the beads in. We ran out of time to finish, so bring your work to the February meeting if you’d like to continue it then.
Coming up:
- February – Make an Upcycled Book Art Bracelet with Elisa Reutinger
- March – Make a wire gear pendant with Ila Lewis
- April – Field trip to Oakland, planned by Elisa Reutinger
- May – Make a fabric-bead necklace with Carolyn Granados
Thanks to Carolyn Granados for the photos.
