Across the field

Across the field we walk daily

He's still there - minus some parts.

Kumihimo

I had the pleasure of taking a few classes at the store during the summer and  other than wire and metal, I'm playing with Kumihimo http://www.beadfx.com/inspirations/inspirations.php?id=507

Classes

Let's Wrap Them Up - taught these in Guelph at the Grand River Bead Society's first meeting on Monday 17, September http://www.grandriverbeadsociety.com/

 Thank you Grand River Bead Society for having me and sharing in the Beady Arts Experience i.e. "From the heart, by the hands, just for you."

From October 2, my teaching at Beadfx is going to officially resume after my summer break and it kicks off with Cold Connection Bracelet. My other classes at the store are also cold connections but each one involves a different method to connect wire. For more details please click on the links provided. Click on the links and make that call to Beadfx and let's have wire fun the Beady Arts way.

Wow not since July!!!

Wow not since July you say?
Hmmmmmm yeah I haven't been here for a long time. I said I was going to take a break for the summer and so I did. It was one of my best summers ever - firing up the grill with family and good neighbours, spending loads of time with my family and  playing outside with my son.

Yeah as if we didn't spend enough time already. But it's going by too quickly - imagine my son started school. Where did the time go? I'm not going to keep typing on, I'll let the pictures talk to you.

It was a fine time to take classes @ Beadfx ( my necklace after Angela Peace's Kumihimo Edge Bead Necklace http://www.beadfx.com/classes/class-angelapeace-kumihimoedgebeadnecklace.jsp)

Trip to the Toronto Zoo with Joshua and my good friend and sister Josie.

Visit to Fort Erie with my two boys (my husband & son of course)

Yeah we went to the EX!!!

For You Trinbago and for you Canada.

Trinbago Shamballa

Show me your national colours!!!!

Oh Canada!!!

More Classes = More Pieces Yipeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Last Saturday ( July 14) I spent the day at work not working on the floor but taking classes - a big thank you to Stephanie Dixon for taking my shift. Cindy Goldwick in an excellent instructor - her classes should be on your To Do List if you have taken any yet. The other ladies on board were absolutely wonderful too. It was a room filled with creativity - my kinda setting.

Let the picture speak to you!!!!

My Flowers and Swags Necklace made during Cindy Goldwick's class @ Beadfx

My Cuff - made during Cindy's Cuff & Ring class @ Beadfx

On Sunday 15, July, I was off to Japan!!!!! I took Angela Peace's Kumihimo Basics class but had to leave to catch a flight to start my shift at Beadfx. I really heard this is addictive - oh yes it is because it is fast and easy and it was taught by an excellent instructor. Enjoy the pictures.

Sample Piece - completed this cord on Sunday night

My first Kumihimo bracelet - I completed it on Monday. I rushed to my studio and designed and made the wire focal bead.

On my own!!!! I added some stones - I'm loving this.

One for Khes of course.

Thanks Angela Peace & Cindy Goldrick

I had the pleasure of taking two classes on my day off at work last June. I'll let my pictures speak as usual but please permit me to to say thank you to Angela Peace and Cindy Goldrick - two excellent instructors at Beadfx in Toronto. I'll be blogging soon about another of Angela's classes and two of Cindy's I had the opportunity of taking more recently. In the meantime enjoy.
