It is really exciting to see this, since it sometimes feels like bead embroidery is a forgotten part of working with seed beads. I love bead embroidery, and although I have been doing it for years, I have never used a couching stitch. It is cool to see how someone else does things and I am looking forward to the rest of the series. Thank you so much for making this available!

I shop at Jody’s sisters store, Beyond Beads. Cindy and Jody are lovely people. ❤️ I also do a lot of ordering from Fire Mountain. They carry a huge variety of supplies.

This is a GREAT video. So inspiring and easy to follow. There are no complicated patterns or techniques. Her just follow your heart attitude allows me to create something that is totally mine. The filming on this video is outstanding. It is very easy to see exactly what she is doing and follow along. A supply list of her basic materials would be appreciated.
