Whatever Floats your Boat

Create a ‘floating’ bezel to capture an unusual-shaped cabochon! Right Angle Weave (RAW) features strongly in this piece to create a unique design that not only effectively captures the handmade polymer clay focal, but to show it off. An embellished tassel and shaded bail completes the pendant, to be hung on the optional beaded chain for a very wearable necklace

Tutor: Meg Thompson.
Beading became a proper hobby for Meg when she was about 15 years old. At this time she was still stringing and remembers writing craft shopping lists to ‘buy bigger beads’ as she was jealous of the pretty bigger glass beads her sister had in her stash. Finally she caved to her subconscious and embraced those tiny beads called seed beads!
Meg is a self taught bead artist. She taught herself peyote stitch at 16, and many many stitches and techniques since then, finally discovering bead embroidery in 2011 and she has never looked back!
Meg’s biggest passion is bead embroidery, but she also greatly enjoy bead weaving and combining the two.
Meg creates under the business name ‘A Beaded World’.
