Last week I started an 8-week beading course at one of my local beading stores. The class is considered a Beginner's Class and will involve different kinds of bead weaving techniques. The class consists of 5 students so it's an intimate little group and so far I am having a lot of fun.
Our first lesson involved making a Daisy Chain bracelet and here is mine finished piece. I created this with size 11 silvery/white beads and size 8 bronze beads.
I am pretty happy with how it turned out for my first attempt - however I think next time I will need to improve my tension. I am thinking of trying this out using size 15s and 11s to make it even more delicate. This piece feel so nice on my wrist and it is very light and sits nicely.

Week 2 was Brick Stitch and I am in the process of finishing off this piece. It's a gorgeous mix of metallic hex beads so I will post a piccie when it's done!
