| FL Heart by Nina Libin worked in DMC metallic thread and size 15 beads. |
I conquered a new technique for
this. I’ve wanted to learn how to work with this thread and to use beads in
this manner. Nina Libin calls her style Beanile Lace. The hardest part for me
was getting the beads onto the thread. I fell in love with the color in the
bead shop and wanted to use the recommended thread, a 3 ply metallic by DMC.
Ugh. Hours and hours to string 89 beads on the shuttle thread and 41 beads on
the ball thread. But, the result is quite nice. I think I will set this aside
for a day. A fresh day will bring more realistic ideas of what to try next.
A
new day did help. Here is my try at the Hector I pattern:

I quite like this work. The possibilities are jumping out at me all over. More later.
