0 Fascinating Friday 1/4/13

What a week this already is!!  I have to tell you that I have found new energy and new inspiration in the new year already!  I thought that I would make my Fascinating Friday even more fascinating but including something that IS FASCINATING!

When I am doing a peyote bracelet, there are NO KNOTS anywhere in it!!  I simply thread my working thread back through the beadwork in several circles and then leave MOST of the tail in the work.  To start a NEW thread I do the same thing wind it around and then cut off the tail - moving the thread to start working again.  For me, this is even done on the STARTING rows of the bracelet!

 

This one still has the starting tail - hanging out of the work

This one has the tail finished and then cut off.

Yesterday I finished and listed my current project and then started a new one.  First, let me know what you think of the one I finished.  It sold within about 2 minutes of listing it!!!

 

 

Here is the video of it being made if you would like to watch it - http://youtu.be/RhhoBiQBwQU

 

And then I started a new project, here are the colors;

 

 

And remember you can keep watching my Fan Page or Google+ page throughout the day to watch this one grow and develop.
