We will begin making the Bubbles and Bumps Necklace by Jill Wiseman. The pattern can be found in Jill's book Beautiful Beaded Ropes, pp. 76-79. It is constructed in herringbone stitch using different sizes of beads to make the bumps. Part 2 for constructing this necklace is the November 2020 meeting.
Supply list:

This group explores a variety of off-loom bead weaving stitches using the many types of beads available, as well as finishing techniques and how to use jewelry findings. At times we study some non-needle projects such as chain maille, kumihimo, and wirework.
This group meets monthly on the 2nd Friday from 10am–12pm.
LOCATION: We are temporarily meeting by video conference due to COVID-19. A link to connect to it is on the Member Resources page.
