Rock Garden Floral Neckwear
 

Nanette Young-Greiner

Saturday, March 13th, 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Intermediate to Advanced

A lovely and lush “rock garden” to wear around your neck.  Not only using a focal lampwork flower, but also lovely semi-precious stones.  We will work using a technique called “needle weaving” – but no needles are used in the weaving at all!  The weaving is done using C-Lon, S-Lon, or Conso cord.  The toggle closure is made using micro-macrame.  You will love this project and want to make more pieces using this technique.
