This is the best class I have taken at BeadFest.
Shelley Nybakke's A Metalsmith's Match is stitched in RAW (right angle weave) with the heavy metal seed beads and Swarovski crystals. The workshop was 7 hours and I completed most of the bracelet in that time. Later that evening, when I returned home, I stitched another 3 hours for a total of 10 hours. Everyone loves this and it is so classic. I chose the matte gold and antique copper beads with the turquoise Swarovski crystals. I had no prior experience with RAW, so the night before the class I studied the thread path by viewing a few tutorials online. Right Angle Weave may be my new stitching obsession.
