JAPANESE WEAVING: GRADIENT PENDANT,  SATURDAY JUNE 2, 2012 10:30-12:30

Odin is back with one of her most popular design. The gradient pendant is one of the easier Japanese Weaving projects and one of the prettiest and most interesting, too. This is a wonderful piece to begin your journey into the art of Japanese Weaving. Choose dark to light shades of the same color to achieve the gradient effect or make it a rainbow of colors. Either way, it's beautiful, easy, interesting and will create interest where ever you wear it. It also makes a great zipper pull or cell phone/purse ornament. Skill Level: Novice (some hand weaving experience is recommended).  Tuition: $25.00, with: ODIN

Stop in often.  New items arrive.  The stock moves around.  You just might see something you never noticed before!  See you soon and,

Happy Beading,

Linda
