Now, on to the life at this park!
Next to my motorhome is another volunteers's RV. She is a beader ( using that term for lack of a better one). She's quite accomplished, and I decided I would try to learn a little more about beading from her. Anita (my neighbor) taught me the peyote stitch, so I practiced that for a few hours, till I thought I had it mastered.
I have a box with my beads and threads, etc kept inside. I have a bag of pink beads which a friend gave me, and I decided to make a beaded collar for my female, Fleur. I decided that if Bunny (the world famous greyhound who writes her own blog) could wear pink collars, then Fleur could, too.

| Anita, working in park office, and also beading. I got out my loom, threaded it and started weaving the pink beads.  I have to measure the neck of my female, Fleur, and then I have to sew a backing to the beaded weaving, and then fasten it to a leash with an adjustable slide.  The above collar is a picture from the http://www.dogcollarsboutique.com/Martingale-Hound-Dog-Collar-w-Leash-11-patterns-p-614.html This collar and leash does not have hardware to adjust the size, so therefore |
So, I will sew a backing on the beaded weaving, and then attach the leash, and I should have a really stunning pink collar and leash for Fleur.
I will show the finished product when I have finished it.
How beautiful. I haven't beaded in a long time, but I always enjoyed it when I did. Would love to see some of Anita's creations too.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a creative person, that I imagine that you could out bead me any day!
DeleteI am anxious to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteOF COURSE Fleur can wear pink! Why, even Flattery wears it! I think that is going to be one spectacular collar, I can't wait to see Fleur model it!
ReplyDeleteWe got the cacti in the mail today, too! Thank you! Mom says she has to get a small pot to put them in and then we'll be in business!
Looking forward to seeing the finished result. You o know you'll have to do a blue one for Power:)
ReplyDeleteWow! That looks like it would take lots of time and patience. But the outcome is beautiful I'm sure. And I'll bet Fleur will be proud to wear it!
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about beading, this looks like a lot of work but I'm curious to see the finished product. It looks like it will be very glamorous and unique :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with beading! I bead but only to make jewelry.
ReplyDeleteFinally found your blog! Nice writeups and photos! Thanks for including me!
