BEAD "ECSTASY" Day Retreat Announced

I have been working on this for some time and FINALLY have dates!!!!  The first Bead Ecstasy will be OCTOBER 27 (Thursday) from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.  This is for the weekday people.

The weekend session will be OCTOBER 29, (Saturday), same times.

This will be a beginner class where the participants will not only learn 2 projects in a beautiful, natural setting,  but will be served a gourmet lunch poolside as well as a chair massage.  The details of the actual classes will be sent out and posted within the next week along with photos.  

This first (of many we hope) session will be offered at a reduced rate and that will be posted later also.  If you are interested, email ASAP, as the space for this is very limited.

UP COMING CLASSES

We had a blast this weekend at the Intergalactic Bead Show in Pompano Beach.  Please keep checking this site for the new class schedule.  I almost have it complete...just need to finish a project so I can photograph it for the flyer.  Post any classes you wish to see and I will try to set them up.

Esther Beadwork would like to thank everyone that attended this show and supported us by buying beads or just stopping by and saying hello.  Feel free to post your bead supply wishes and we will try our best to get them.  The Tila beads FLEW off the table and the Delicas were a hit.  Plan to see more at the March show.

Finished Project

The blue is fabulous
And we have a finished Russian Leaf/Kumi lariate!! It is so much fun to see how each piece turns out different.  Keep watching...more samples to come.


This class was such a huge hit, we will be offering it again very soon.  Please post or send me an email if you wish to attend this class or desire more information.

GREAT JOB LADIES

I was amazed and thrilled that so many had their Kumihimo ropes almost completed...and with 3 weeks left to go!  Pretty impressive.  The Russian Leaves presented a bit more of a challenge, but everyone rose to the occasion...I learned a few things I need to work on.  As always, I learn more from my students than they do from me.  


If you missed this month long class, post what you would like to spend some time learning.  This is a wonderful time for fellowship and sharing and just enjoying being around others with a passion (okay, maybe an obsession) like ours!!!

Kumihimo Class FUN!!

Hey, this is FUN.

This is relaxing....


















We had tons of fun during the first session of the Kumi/Russian Leaf class.  Everyone looks serious, but there was lots of laughter, oohs and ahhs over the way the ropes were coming out and good old fashioned conversation. Everyone is excited about learning the Russian Leaves next week.  Stay in touch for more photos and updates.
