’Round Midnight Collar
Instructor: Marsha Davis (Marsha.Davis@92NY.org)
Supply List:
- #10 English beading needles
- Fireline 6lb
- bee’s wax
- cutter for the Fireline
- cloth to work on
- magnification if needed
- paper and pencil
- plus the following beads:
- COLOR A (main color) 2 -3 tubes of Japanese 8/0’s (apprx. 66 grams) and 1 tube of 11/0’s (apprx. 20 grams) 1/2 tube of 11/0's are fine.
- COLOR B (insert color) 1 tube of Japanese 8/0’s (apprx. 20 grams) and 1/2 tube or less of 11/0’s (apprx. 20 grams)
NOTE: All of the 8/0’s should be the same size – thus far, I have only used Miyuki 8/0’s – these are rounder and slightly smaller than the Matsuno 8/0’s. I think Toho 8/0’s are a bit larger than Miyuki 's. Use 8/0's that are all made by same Manufacturer to assure good results.
We will also need 4mm beads or crystals for the inserts - 36 4mm - additional beads needed will be discussed. And 11/-0's for the edging on the inner edge if desired. May be Color A or Color B.
