Welcome to Project 6
of
Beading Babes!
This month I have decided to challenge you...which is what this group was aimed at doing!
This Project we have 4 spectacular projects on offer - all to challenge you in techniques you may not have already tackled.
You will note this project I have also included the techniques used in the designs and the project level (i.e. beginner, intermediate etc) to help you when deciding which project/s you might like to tackle.
Just a reminder that you don't have to complete all of the projects listed below. You can do as many or as few as you like... you can even do more than one of the same project...it's up to you!
Also please discuss the projects on our Facebook page or on your blog and feel free to post your progress shots too... the more bead chat the better!
So without further ado here are the projects!
