Centipede Bracelet - Fri, Sep 16 - The name may sound similar to Caterpillar Bracelet, but the weave is totally different!

BeadMaille Necklace - Sat, Sep 17 - Cindy's signature piece and the front cover of her book! For those who like the look of chain maille, but want a softer feel. The instructor's unique BeadMaille concept uses stitched seed beads, in combination with metal rings, to produce a hybrid of the 2 techs. Inspired by European chain maille, featuring layers of beads and rings that float inside each other. Pre-req RAW. Was $95 - Now $75

Wubber Chain Bracelet - Sat, Sep 17 - Discover the new Wubber Forming Pliers - designed with ease in mind. Quickly and reliably make wrapped loops, eye loops, and the adorable coil links that make up this bracelet.
