Hooking them, then reeling them in

The other night I walked to the little quicky mart, and was mentioning to
the young lady behind the desk that I was having so much fun with beads
lately. She interuppted me to exclaim "Oh, I love beads!!!". I gave her my
email addy tonight and by tomorrow she will be one of us... hooked on good
beads, but now with the power to find them online.
I plan to link her to Sooz's link list, the bead notes and perhaps can
even help her find her way here to rcb. Is there anything else I can do to
make sure the hook is firmly planted? ;-)

You are devious. I will do this. Heh, heh, heh..
I tried right angle weave for the first time last night and youre right, it
does look like magic. Do you do double needle or single? And what size beads
do you like?

A beadwoven bracelet. The kind I give away are darned quick - just a
single row of right angle weave made of fire polished glass with a
clasp. Right angle weave is so pretty on its own, and most people
think it's some kind of magic.

When I tell them it took me ten minutes at most, and that includes
the swearing festival while I find the scissors that everyone steals,
invariably, they're hooked. I then give them a baggie with
instructions, a needle, the right number of fire polished beads, a
clasp and instructions. (Cost is well under a dollar)

Gets them every time.

Kathy,

Do you have a picture of this bracelet? It sounds very pretty and I was
wanting to try one for myself.

Thanks!

I use single needle, but double needle might be easier for a full
fledged newbie. For fire polished bracelets, either 4 mm or 6 mm
beads - the cathedral beads with the gilded ends look especially
nice. The cool thing about this is that you could easily fit the
whole kit in an Altoids tin and hand it to your friend.

The kit in a tin idea is so cool. Id have to cover the tin in polyclay, of
course. ;-)
Thanks again. Double needle does feel easy to me, and if the ends of the
thread are stiffened in something then needles arent totally needed. That
makes it even easier for the full fledged newbie.

If you want to use seed beads, I'd uses 6/0's or 8/0's, at the very
smallest. A single row of tiny beads just wouldn't have the impact
you're looking for.

OMG no! Single needle. Double needle will make you feel like you're on acid.

Diana, I keep forgetting to ask for your snail addy. Can you email it to me?

OK, I didn't want to... wasn't going to... no no no no... but I have to
try RAW.

DANG!

Now look what you've done!

I have a bunch of them in my photoalbum from last winter:

They're the last photo on the page. Only one is single row that I
can see, but none of them were even remotely difficult.
