StephB@8: I'm in the middle of a rewrite (including suggested improvements from proofing of first version (thanks you guys )). Thanks for the offer and your continued interest (and patience -- didn't think it would take this long , but I tend to be a perfectionist). Are you a 'righty' or 'lefty' (southpaw)? Hopefully 90DO-L will be available (copyright, patent, publishing -- learning curve) this year; just want to get it right . Again, thanks.

My apologies for taking so long in replying -- just recently got reconnected to the internet. I've got a few pages to finish, rough draft will go to a friend for proofing, then mean to make it available shortly after. I fear that I'm rather slow at this. Thanks for your interest and patience. Please explore this site -- there is much to learn and many friendly people here. Enjoy.

Sarah, i am very new to this forum and just found your post. I am very interested in new ways to bead weave and the 90 Degree stitch seems like it is right up my alley. May i ask how you are coming with the instructions? I would love to know if it is ready for sale? thanks

Hi Karin,

Thanks so much for your help. I finally got a photo into the gallery. Sue's instructions helped me into the Reader's Showcase (same photo). Love your work and display style. Thanks again.

Hi Sarah,

Go into Gallery, Reader Photo Gallery, and you'll see an UPLOAD button in the right top corner. Click on that. Then on 'specify file/URL. Wait for the window to appear. Now you can browse through your photos, pick one, add a description and save it.

I hope this will help and I'm looking forward to see your work.

Karin.

Hi Sue,

I noticed that you have pics under 'files' caption in your profile. How do I get my pics into my files? Can I upload my pics or do I have to be 'linked'? I made an attempt to upload a pic file to the gallery last night, but it didn't take. I forgot to convert .psd to .jpg (using Adobe Photoshop). Oops .

Thank you so much for your help.

Sarah

You can add your pictures to the "Readers Showcase. You ask, how do I do it? You click on the little icon that looks like a film strip. When the box comes up click on "choose file" find your picture in your files and click on it, It will load up and then what I do is I change the size to 560X560 then I click on insert. That will load your picture to your post. It's that easy. We all love looking at everyone's lovely work.

Happy Beading!!

Hi Elaine.

Nice to meet you, too. I'm still working on a tutorial for my stitch. I call it '90 degrees off-loom' (Nov 1997). I have several pieces, but how do I get them posted? I've been looking at the others' projects -- nice work, great imaginations.

Sarah

Hi, my name's Sarah. This is a new experience for me. I've been 'playing' with beads since I was little (started with a bead loom kit). I just left a MHP manager position after 4 1/2 years. Now I'm trying to get back into beading again. I seem to be the only one who beads in the mobilehome park; reason I sought out you guys -- beaders. I spent 12+ years in the Navy, so my lingo may seem strange. If anyone is interested, I'm currently documenting a stitch I came up with several years ago. It looks like loom work, just 90 degrees off to the side (square stitch is worked in the same direction as loom work). I've got to do something with all these beads .
