PLEASANT MEMORIES


 

 

PLEASANT MEMORIES 

 

I remember the exact day.  How could I forget?  The lottery number came in and my winnings were an unbelievable $500.00.  Also, the cat had kittens.  Their mewing woke us up.  Wild assortment of tiny pink noses and little pointed ears.

 

But, best of all, the wonderful book "Bead Weaving on a Loom" published by Designs Originals, and co-authored by Carol Porter and Fran Ortmeyer, came in the mail.  Although it is not a very large book, it is very thorough.  The beader is taken step by step thru all the challenging interesting phases of bead weaving.  At the beginning all materials and supplies are listed.  Naturally if one has decided to attempt the projects in this book, a loom is certainly a necessity.  The Clover Loom is the loom of choice in this publication.

 

The eleven projects are beautifully photographed with detailed instructions.  Once your loom is dressed, away you go on a colorful beading adventure.  Bracelets, necklaces, and earrings and additional decorative items are discussed.  All patterns are easy to follow.  One does not have to be a maven in the art of bead weaving.

 

The book "Bead Weaving on a Loom" takes one on a colorful and joyful exploration of creativity.
