Ah Ha! My spiral rope!

LitaC:

I'd like to see how you finished the ends.

Lita,

I followed the instructions and re-wrapped around the beads and clasp 4 or so times and then burned the end. I will try to get a close up but am photographically challenged....

BRAVOI! Great job Courtney, it's beautiful!

Erin 

 Its so pretty, good job :)

Courtney, you definitely did it! Isn't that a good feeling? And it looks like a Advent wreath. You did a gret job.

For spirals I use Nymo and sometimes Fireline, if the beads are heavy and need a bit more stabilization. But most of the time Nymo is fine with 11/0.

 thank you all! I did discover that I was using Nymo and did go and get some Fireline. I will see which I like better.

 HO HO HO, Merry Bracelets!  Very nice. jeannie

 I LOVE those colors!!  Great job.  I am still trying to work up the courage to try to make one. 

VERY NICE!! So Christmas-y!

Deb

 Seriously, go to Fusion Beads  (http://www.fusionbeads.com/beadingfaq/techniques.php?bfid=29) and I am happy to send you the instructions that Deb sent me, if you want.  If I can do it, anyone can. 

Courtney

 I love your Christmas berries!  I'd like to see a close-up too.  Was this difficult to do?  I haven't really done any weaving aside from a bunch of bookmarks I made years ago.  How did you learn?  From a book?  Or did someone show you how?  I really like the way this turned out, it looks like it has an interesting texture, I can't really see if the green beads are smaller, it looks like they are.  I like the way you have photographed this, the weathered wood makes a nice background.  Thanks for sharing.  I want to see more!

 Good job Coutney! I was looking at a video tutorial on the flat spiral and found one on the spiral.  I really want to try both - again, problem is finding the time!

 Andrea,

you are too kind. I used Fusion beads tutorial and some directions that Deb sent me. It was actually easy. I used size 8 seed beads, both the red and green are the same color.  White Nymo thread.  I really struggle with directions - much  more of a visual learner.  The pictures/directions were very straight forward.  I will try to get a close up for you.

Courtney

 Hi everyone I have never posted before. Ilove the bracelet i copyed the tut from fusion beads but could not find the size 8 beads will 10 be to small or will 6 be to big  and how many of each thank you for your help lisa

 I think that you could use either. I was thinking of going a bit bigger for a try.  I purchased a tube of each of the colors and had roughly half a tube left over.

thanks!

 Thank You very much  I think i will start with the 6 i can see it better for learning. lisa c
