Hey Everyone!
So glad you could join me for the week's Free Tip Friday episode.

Today's project was a mash-up of three beadshop.com projects and techniques, Born Yesterday, Trail's End and Poetry. We also discussed choosing needles of projects and did some troubleshooting on beginning a Poetry project.

I used the following products for the sample:

1 strand 5mm Rondelles- Mustard
1 strand 5mm Rondelles- Wine Red
1 strand 8mm English Cut- Picasso Green Aqua
2 ft Satellite-Antique Copper
1 basket Irish Waxed Linen. I used Walnut 4-ply
.5mm Distressed Denim
1 spool Micro C Lon. I used Charcoal
1 Madame Butterfly Turquoise
2 Mini Hoops in Antique Copper
Flexible Eye Needles- 10 PK
Peekaboo Antique Copper Button

It was such a fun project to share!

I can't wait to see how you create using a mash-up of these techniques.

Watch the video below for all of the tips and techniques. Enjoy!
