Barb,

Oops, our family camping trip is the weekend of Aug. 14th, not the 21st.

It's a wire wrapping tool that really works. I bought one from Sharlyn because she had 2 of them. It makes really nice coils. Here is a link to what it is and what it can do: http://www.coilinggizmo.com/econo.htm

Everyone have a Great Day!

Cristabman's Treasure bracelet she will be demo-ing at Laura Lou's in February - this is also on the 1st page of this thread:

Cord
4 ply waxed linen, any color
20 yards for bracelet, 30 yards for necklace
OR
#18 bonded nylon cord, any color
20 yards for bracelet, 30 yards for necklace
AND IF YOU CHOOSE
2 skeins perle cotton to match or contrast cord above. You can also omit this completely.

Beads
Anything that can fit 2 passes of your chosen cord. It’s ok to have a few beads that will fit 1 pass of your cord. Feel free to mix up your beads! This is a good place to use up wonkies or orphans. Have plenty of plain filler beads such as seed beads 8’s or 10’s. plan to use some lightweight beads – lots of glass beads can make a bracelet too heavy.

I flat button, shank button or flat bead to use as a toggle.

Board to pin into – like a macramé board or small pillow.

Large straight pins – like quilters pins or T pins

Kumihimo bobbins or rubber bands.

Scissors

Fray check if you have it.

I have made a bunch of these – some way way long ago. I originally used a figure 8 stitch for the base of the bracelet. I still like this stitch because it eliminated the twist of the macramé stitch. The macramé bracelets are really cool too – so I will show you both stitches and you can decide.

There is only one simple stitch and the technique is easy to learn. It is a good- in-front of the tv- project.

Sources:
Waxed linen – Kzoo bead store, Hollanders in Ann Arbor,
http://www.royalwoodltd.com/cat14-17ar.htm
Bonded nylon - http://www.landofodds.com/servlet/Ca...-LON:BEAD+CORD, Bead quest?
Perle cotton – Michaels or Hobby Lobby
Don’t stress over the cord. You can use anything that doesn’t stretch and will fit through most beads 2 times. Waxed linen comes in several sizes – get the 4 ply. We might need to do a group purchase.

Kumihimo bobbins- These are soft plastic bobbins that hold cord for humihimo. Rubber bands will also work just fine. http://www.braidershand.com/disk.html#ez

Go through your bead box! Mix and match! Go wild and Crazy!

PM me with questions-

It’ll be a blast!

Crista

I wish I could be there, but we're going to be chasing some sunshine in Arizona. I know you'll have a great time. If anyone takes notes on making the spikey beads and treasure bracelet, I"d love to have them!

Thanks for the update Gatekeeper!

As long as the weather holds, I'm bringing brownies on Saturday!

Have fun in Arizona, Sharlyn! I hope it is warmer there than it was in Florida!

OOPS!
Hello Group
Please be aware that April will be held at Sandra's of Simply Us Beads.
I am still hosting the Metal Camp here at Hodunk Hollow but needed to move it to September.

Sandra, bottling up all of your emotions is really not healthy. Don't hold back. Let us know how you really feel!

The other Sandra told me I couldn't post that but an irrestible urge came over me thinking of warmth and sun.

Michelle- Tracy will be having fun without us in Florida. I was drafted/volunteered to do the bracelet. The supply list is in the backyard thread post #153 (page 6, I think). Don't buy much - we can make do with what you have -

Meeting at noon.
Also, I have some of the cording used for these bracelets. I bought lots of different colors on a whim last year. So if anyone needs some, I'll share!
