Bead class started Friday with 8 ladies.The class is being held at The
Lux Weaving
Studio in Eureka Springs.It is a 3 day class
thorough ESSA.We are having a great time.I have done very little beading but for some reason I have
amused a lot of beads.So, I took this class in the hopes of learning how to use some of them.I would love to mix the rug hooking, needle felting and beading all in one
piece.
This is what I did Friday. It is the right angle
stitch and it feels like fabric. The glasses in the corner are much needed when working with beads this small.
I love to see the beads like this.Eleanor said working with the beads in a bowl like this helps her work fast.You don't need to see the hole, you just drag your needle through the bowl and pickup a bead.
This is my work for today.We moved to the peyote stitch and I worked on a round
piece.I did get more of it done at home tonight I will show you pics later.

What was left of the hurricane came through late last night.We lost our power about 3:oo am and got it back at 1:00pm but we still done have any water.As I went to bead class today I took a few pics around Eureka Springs of what it did.This house had two trees fall on it.
This is the waterfall in front of my house.I have never seen so much water going over it.I had to drive through water four time just to get to the highway.
Today was the last day of the beading class with Eleanor Lux.If you ever have a chance to take a class with Eleanor,jump at it because she is a great teacher. Above are the things I beaded in class.
This is today's work,all but the hat looking thing(I did it last night).We made a beaded bead and then we got to pick for a box of things that Eleanor had collected.I picked a piece of corral to bead. Not sure if I am done with it yet,I think I may do some more to it.
I loved this class and I am hoping to mix the beads with the felting and maybe the rug hooking.
