I have tried many times to sit down and create a piece only to get really frustrated with it. I need to learn to let go and let the colors flow as you suggest but it is very hard for me. I am such a control freak lol. Thanks so much and it is great to meet you :)Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369632315747798399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399764594162305361.post-24376235849476719782012-02-25T15:16:16.247-06:002012-02-25T15:16:16.247-06:00Hey Don't give up on the embroidery!!

You can have several small focal's or beads of relative interest- they don't have to be dead center!! and it does not have to be all matchy matchy either. Think of it as a bead collage.<br /><br />I have started teaching my beaded collage cuffs and I tell my students to jut let the colors flow- use what you love and make it a collage of color- you can stay to one colorway or use multiple colors but all the same finish. there are so many ways to go about it. If You would like, feel free to contact me and we can talk about it further!!! I would be most happy to help you get your bead embroidery groove on!!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13861364748418692061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399764594162305361.post-67261085663603651432012-02-25T11:44:45.511-06:002012-02-25T11:44:45.511-06:00WOW!

At first I felt like I would never get it, but finally it clicked and I just made my first cuff, it's not perfect, but I love it anyway! I hope it 'clicks' for you too.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643141407957852748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399764594162305361.post-52782827152497337212012-02-19T14:51:11.452-06:002012-02-19T14:51:11.452-06:00I am glad that you found the video helpful.

I hope you are doing well Therese!Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08369632315747798399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4399764594162305361.post-52975888551800888432012-02-18T20:45:29.303-06:002012-02-18T20:45:29.303-06:00Hi Marla,

Thank you for sharing the CRAW video it was very helpful I'm going to try it. I have to get my bracelet mailed also.<br />ThereseTherese's Treasureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11048140538791568162noreply@blogger.com
