1. FIRST PLACE

Artist: Marsha L. Wiest-Hines
Haute Ice Beadwork http://hauteicebeadwork.etsy.com
Title: INK

Materials: Kit plus Czech and Japanese seed, bugle and cylinder beads, Swarovski bicone crystals, Czech fire polish beads, fireline, powerpro, 14k gold plate clasp
Dimensions: 18" long with 2" extender chain, 3.5" drop from center front to bottom of fringe, 1" wide.

Marsha writes: I began this piece with the creation of the peyote spacer bars, which looked like squid to me when fringed. The "spilled ink on parchment" look of the lovely focal, added to the squid image, led to the name. Techniques include peyote stitch, flat circular peyote stitch, fringe, and Russian spiral weave.

Butterflies - Fri, Jan 22 - This class is for all those who voted for Sweat Pea, Russian Summer, or Monarch. You will choose which pattern you prefer to work from. Huib will custom teach to each butterfly. In the afternoon he will cover how the Sweat Pea or leaves are made (though you will be concentrating on making the butterfly in class). Level 3 - Pre-req - Peyote. Practice on Russian leaf recommended but not required. 6 hr w/ lunch break.

Up & Over - Sat, Jan 23 This class is for all those that voted for Up & Over, Honky Tonk, My Father's Watchband, or any other Tubular RAW class. Once you learn the stitch, you can apply it to any of these designs. Learn Tubular Right Angle Weave from the expert. I first learned tubular RAW from Huib, and I can tell you there is no better teacher. He tells me that he can take any student - even an advance beginner - and teach them this stitch. Level 2 - Advanced Beginner - Right Angle Weave recommended but not required. 6 hr w/ lunch break.

Starfish - Fri, Jan 22 - This class is for all those voted for Enchanted Waters, Swim Around my Wrist, or other nauticle themes. He will teach the starfish or sea star which is done in tubular Peyote. Other sea creatures will be discussed but not taught in this 3 hour class. Level 2 - Peyote suggested but not required.

Russian Bead Lace - Sat, Jan 23 - This class is for all those that voted for a leaf class. In this class you will learn to make the Russian Leaf (increaing/decreasing peyote) and variations like the Oak Leaf will be discussed. Leaves are an incredibly practice embellishment to be able to add to any beadweaving piece. Level 3 - 3 hour. Pre-req Peyote.
