Today I spent several hours practicing my wrapped loops technique. This is one of the lessons from The Build Zone. To perfect wrapped loops one needs to practice and practice . . . and, did I mention, practice?
You can see that I still need to work on my technique a bit more. However, I am headed to a meeting at church followed by the Blessing of the Animals in honor of St. Francis' Feast Day. We are bringing one of our dogs, Daisy.
So I shall return to practicing later tonight!
One of the ways I teach wrapped loops to my classes is to have them make a cha cha charm bracelet, one just full of charms that are wire-wrapped. You get a TON of practice, and since there are so many beads, you can't really tell if there's a wonky one or not. Plus, you can see the difference in your first one and your last one!
ReplyDeleteI need to learn how to do this!! You did good!!
ReplyDeleteLori, that is such an excellent idea! Maybe I should try that as a practice thing. My dilemma is, once I mess up on one, I tend to want to start over. But, I can see where forcing myself to move on might be good too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am very excited to hear that you have a Bead Soup book in the works! Many congratulations.
Thank you, Donna! Maybe we could meet half way and practice together!
