SLOW STITCHING BEADING ON A SUNDAY

Christmas is over and all the visitors have gone.
It is a lot cooler today and I have decided to stitch on my beads. A very slow process.
I started this project in 2014 while on a stitching cruise around New Zealand.
More about that here

I have had a great relaxing day.

My hubby has watched his last series of Game of Thrones and I have stitched quietly.

Japanese Beading with Suzanne Gude

My 1 day class on the  CRUISE. was to learn about Japanese Beading.

My tutor was Suzanne Gude.

Suzanne also explained about the 5 phases of beading.

Here displayed for us Suzanne has made some exquisite beaded bags.

There were 3 main techniques to learn within the piece I made. Which was to be an eye glass case.

I have only done a little bit here but I will finish it.

I think I will be doing it for a while.

Go on over to see where next years 2015 Needlework Tours is heading.
