Fiber on a Whim - June

June 6th we headed west for our monthly Stargazer Tome class at Fiber on a Whim in Atlanta. This months class is the beaded naked fat lady. I'm having trouble getting into her so I'm looking for an alternative design.




















The peyote beaded stitch was fun and Carla shows us how to manage it. These are some of the samples the girls at FOAW have made.




















Jan shows us how the beading is to be attached to the lady.














The flip side of the lady is a picture framed with beads.



















I'm not sure which one did the beaded butterfly but isn't it wonderfull?



















The beaded bags were done by Carla...I didn't get pics of all of them but the ones I did were amazing, huh?




















Sue, Judy and Ille look over the project samples.














Ille's little doll...isn't she a cutie?




















BettyAnn, Rachael & Carla.

Ille and Jan who was showing us how to bead the ladies.

I've really enjoyed the classes at FOAW. I don't know what we will do when the year is over. The girls there are so talented and helpful and lots of fun too! Each one has their own specialty and their tomes have turned out as individually creative and diversified as the ones our little group of friends have done.
