Project and Sample by Kate Richbourg
This epic undertaking was started on September 21, 20222...continued on September 30...and now finished! Janice put the finishing touches on this trade bead confection and we knew we had to get it posted. What began as some leather knot experiments turned into a tasseled, knotted, beaded beauty! Chock full of trade beads and techniques, these episodes are ones for the ages.
Several items used are no longer available, so we've added our suggestions for replacements...switch out the Tiny Sandcast beads in lime, cobalt, and purple for more Padres or Miyuki 8/0s (our 8/0 color ideas above), use a long wooden bead in place of the Krobo closure.
