Hi Amy, I found it easier to draw out the 'joins' in the corrected instructions, and found that it worked out when it came to stitching the bead. Sadly, I can't find the drawing that I made (and I think the bead is lying in the bottom of a drawer somewhere - I made it in black, bronze, gold and silver, but wasn't keen on the finished

Hi Amy, I did manage to work it out with the corrections posted on here, but it was some time ago - if my memory serves me well, you add the 'bridging' bead to every other row to make it take shape. Regards

Hi Julie, Lisa & Jeni - many thanks for your suggestions. I had looked at the beaded surround you suggested, but thought it was a little too 'heavy'. In any event, I asked one of the ladies at our local beading group, who told me that I was using the wrong thread! I'm a great fan of Fireline, which she said does not have enough 'stretch'

Hi Jeni - I'm still beading away furiously on 'Ruby' - just finished line 217 of 900 or so. Had a little breather from her the past few weeks, as I've been running a few peyote workshops, so had to bead up a few sample pieces. I'll try and take a progress pic of Ruby and post it on here. Hi Inca, if you order within Europe, there

Inca: Can I ask where you get the 15/o Delicas, I cant see any on FMG. Im just curious. Hi Inca, this maybe a little late, but I use two European bead suppliers, one in Belgium ( www.bricolart.be ) and one in France ( www.perlesandco.com ). Both stock Delicas in sizes 10/0, 11/0 and 15/0 - and bricolart is great because you can buy just the amount of
