Dragonscale Peyote Bracelet (2 sessions)
Create a peyote bracelet with movement and style!
Join Pamela Kearns in this virtual class and take your peyote skills to the next level with this statement bracelet. Based on peyote chevrons, as the bracelet is worn the chevron centres rise up to resemble scales. The triangular tips are finished with Pip beads (or drops) adding to the dimensional quality of the design. A hidden snap creates the closure.
Students may use either size 11/0 or size 10/0 Delica beads (the size 10/0 Delicas will make a proportionally wider bracelet and will work up faster)
This will be a two session class and will be held Thursday, March 11 and Thursday, March 18; 6:30 – 8:30pm both dates.
Session 1: Learning the technique; getting you started on the bracelet
Session 2: Questions and answers; continuation of the bracelet; adding the clasp.

Pamela Kearns
Although a seed beader at heart, Pam has been branching out into new techniques and combining the best of all worlds into her creations. She had her first project published in the May/June 2013 issue of Beadwork. Pam taught at the 2014, 2015 and 2016 Bead and Button Shows in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A problem solver, Pam thoroughly enjoys teaching and inspiring students to think beyond basic techniques encouraging students to stamp their own vision on projects. To ensure that all students can accomplish the techniques, Pam (also a 'southpaw) includes 'Lefty-Alerts' within her class instructions.
