A lovely day teaching my Zaila class at Charisma Beads.

I really love this class/ series of work as there is so, so much potential in it and I think even if it was all I beaded for the next year I'd still only scratch the surface.

Because it, and many of my classes/ projects, are ongoing it's always nice to bead new variations (such as shown in one of the photos here) and send them out to past participants/ purchasers and see what they do with that new knowledge.The cross-pollination of ideas and variations is exciting and as soon as I get to the chance to bead the new necklace I've beaded in my head it will be sent out and I hope it inspires some beautiful beadwork.

I also got to see a finished example of the Jade, Bronze & Gold kit for my Peacock Lace Necklace and now I have another thing on my 'to-bead' list...
