Had a great time in classes with Cynthia Rutledge this past weekend. She's such a good teacher and always has so many tips and tricks to share beyond the class project. We had a really good group of people in the classes so we had a lot of fun beading together and laughing all weekend.
The class projects were the Art Deco Brooch, Sea Coil Bracelet, and A Garland of Links and Chains. I enjoyed all the projects but I'll freely admit that the Garland kicked my butt. I like projects that are component-oriented so this one particularly appealed to me. But, wow, it was hard figuring out how to make those chains.
