Beaded Bracelets on a Bow
Tracy Jackson is joining us
to guide us through a mini workshop for our October meeting. Brown bag lunch and a short meeting will happen before we start our class promptly at noon. Beads must be strung before class begins so that we all start and progress together. Be prepared! We’re gonna get pretty and primitive.
You will need:
5 strands of 5/2 cotton
each 48 inches long for warp. Knot these threads together at one end.
Bring some of the same for your weft.
200 size 6 “E” seed beads.
A standard 9 gram tube holds approximately 130 beads, so you will need 2 tubes.
Thread 100 beads each onto 2 of your 5 warp strands before class begins.Tie an easily removable knot in the ends so the beads do not escape.
$5 for the loom kits Tracy will provide.
We will produce beautiful bracelets with beaded selvedges.
Bow Loom Weaving
Please have the warp beaded and ready to attach to the bow before the meeting.
Cut 5 warp ends of size 5 perle cotton, each 48” long. Tie the group together with an overhand knot about 1” down from one end.
Choose 2 strands and string size 6° beads,100 on each strand, 200 beads total. This works easiest with a dental floss threader. Tie a slip-knot in each beaded strand to keep the beads from falling off.
This is a weft faced weave, any color will be fine, black or navy may not be the best choice for the first piece. Variegateds weave up as stripes and can be fun to do. Any color size 6° beads, solid or variegated, is fine.
Supplies to bring:
weft (same as warp)
extra beads
scissors
light or magnifier if needed
All other materials will be provided for around a $5 kit fee.

And mark you calendars for this workshop March 17 and 18.
It is to be Shadow Weave on 4 or 8 shafts. It is presented with a good plan of internet instruction, Zoom and at home weaving. Take a look at Susan’s examples. Materials required and warping instructions will come before the workshop.
More details are forthcoming. Please contact Patty for more details and registration. The workshop registration is currently open to CWG members. Other guilds will be invited later.
Dear Weavers,
because we have to stay home (and weave) for a while, some of our planned events are
cancelled:
There will be no study group meeting at Jessie’s house on April the 2nd.
The set up for our show at the Beachwood library on April 3rd is cancelled. The show will not
take place because the library is closed all of April. We do not know at this time when it will be open again.
We are still hoping to do the show in Chagrin Falls in June. We will keep you informed as to events there.
At this time there is no definite news about our meeting and workshop in April. It does not look too good, but Patty will be in touch when she has more information.
I hope you are all in good spirits and healthy. Keep sending pictures and news. Elfriede
