Back by popular request, the Delaware Valley Bead Society (DVBS) will present “More about Bead Embroidery,” with artist Alice Heinzelman of Tewksbury Township, NJ on Tuesday, February 17 at 7 pm in the Café of the Hunterdon County Senior Center, 4 Gauntt Place - Building #1, Flemington, NJ. The program is free.
In a previous program, Heinzelman showed how to use embroidery with seed beads to embellish the rim of a cabochon—a gemstone that is domed on one side and flat on the other—that has been mounted on a piece of fabric. In this program, she will show how to embroider patterns on the fabric adjacent to the mounted cabochon. Anyone who did not attend the first program will be given special help to embellish the cabochon or may focus entirely on learning how to do bead embroidery on fabric.
The public is invited to attend the demonstration or participate by bringing the following: a piece of felt, denim or any other stiff fabric on which to practice the stitches; a needle and thread in a color to match the fabric; seed beads in a variety of sizes (bugles, pearls, crystals, glass beads, gemstones... the more variety the better); a cabochon (or any large flat bead), and scissors. Cabochons and seed beads will be for sale, courtesy of The Odyssey & Bead Expressions, Frenchtown, NJ.
Heinzelman will present her demonstration during the two-hour DVBS meeting. This demonstration is open to the public but non-members must pre-register. To participate, e-mail your name, address and phone number to odyssey5@ptd.net or call (908) 996-6988.
