What beadwork projects are you working on?

That sounds promising. I was watching Tyra one day and a woman in her audience had a netted choker with fringe. I was so focused on trying to figure out how it was done, I can't even remember what the topic of the show was.

I also want to make a beaded watchband. But so far the watch faces I've found haven't appealed to me. So I'll continue my search. Recently I learned the Potawatami weave. I'm not sure I spelled that right. It makes a very supple 4 bead strand perfect for necklaces. The colors I picked are violet and green and so far it's looking very dainty.

I got inspired to do loom beading when I met a very nice and generous Native American woman at the local craft store. Then I saw her many times at craft fairs with the most exquisite bracelets, hair barettes, necklaces and other items, all made on a loom.

I know how frustrating it can be to not have a camera. I'm saving for a new digital camera. I wore out my old one. Thanks for your intelligent response. I'm new to mylot and can't believe the drivel some people post. I wish I was allowed to delete their entries. Right now I'll have to settle for giving them a negative and hoping they get a clue. I hope between the two of us and new beadworkers that join, we can have a useful thread here. I just spent an hour working on the loom. I have about 4" to go on the current piece, and then I can take it off the loom. I'm also relearning brick stitch which is done off the loom. I just want to be able to demonstrate a little bit of everything because I never know what my students are going to ask me next.
