Summer Blooms @ BeadFX

With summer finally here the gardens are in full bloom. While the irises are just finishing up on our boulevard garden, the peonies are beginning to blossom and the pinks are spreading like a soft carpet down the edges of the driveway. In the park, the hills are covered in fragrant white daisies and soft pink wild roses and a plump waterlily bud sits waiting to open on the largest of the ponds.

To honour the arrival of summer, BeadFX has two floral classes lined up - the Spiral Rope Lariat with Cindy Vroom and the Bohemian Woods Bracelet with Pamela Carson-Mitchell.
























In the Spiral Rope Lariat class, scheduled for Sunday June 22nd, you will learn the simple yet elegant spiral rope stitch. This necklace involves a section of regular spiral stitch, ending with a stretch of embellished spiral stitch where floral beads are added to create a spray of colour. A loop of plain spiral stitch finishes the necklace - simply pull the embellished end through the loop for a simple, yet stunning necklace.

















In the Bohemian Woods Bracelet class, scheduled for Saturday June 28th, you will learn simple macrame techniques, in order to design a unique and fashionable bracelet. The kits come bursting with summery leaves, flowers, pressed glass and seedbeads in complimentary colours. Using a variety of beads and baubles you will create your own individual design.
