I took it because I felt stuck in peyote and bead embroideries, like sitting in a comfort zone for all too long. Russian beaders are insanely versatile in their use of techniques! Anyhow, I joined the course. First lesson was simple (chains), so was the 2nd (cab settings). The third was a plain nightmare: Right Angle Weave in combination with strict following the pattern (I was seriously considering dropping out, but Galina kicked my butt). And here is the lesson four. I loved it!
All patterns that have been used are copyright of Galina. I just have added some personal touches to them, but all the credit should go to my teacher.

A fragment of a necklace that I have to finish (hope to get my carnelian beads soon!).

Take care!
