Kassie Shaw teaching the Escalera Bracelet!!



The Escalera Ladder Cuff is a two-layer cuff made with peyote stitch and double right angle weave. This project is easier than it looks, but is an intermediate project due to its "fiddly" nature. Students need to be comfortable with the following stitches:
1. Odd count peyote
     OR
     Even count peyote AND brick stitch
AND 
2.  Right Angle Weave (knowledge of basic right angle weave is sufficient)
Please take careful note of these basic stitch requirements, as the class will likely be full and we want everyone to have a successful time.
Kassie will be bringing kits of various colorways, but if you want to order a particular colorway for class, email kassie@beadingbutterfly.com by September 9
If you want to make your own colorway, you will need 4 colors of size 11 seed beads (one for the base and 3 for the top - preferably Miyuki for the 2 main colors on the top, although other brands will work with some adjustments) and one color of superduos along with the clasp of your choice (my favorite are the 24/30mm Beadslide clasps).




Kit prices sent from Kassie (need to let her know what colorway you want, so she can make sure that she brings one and puts your name on it).  This cost will be in addition to the cost of the class.  IF you want another colorway- let her know that too.  You can purchase as many as you want.  Since these are Kassie's kits, please be prepared to purchase from Kassie (bring cash preferably).  You will not get the 10% discount on these for class day since they are not from Bead-Therapy.  We believe in supporting our local artists (and she's done all the work to make them anyway)- Kassie's email for choices (or let us know- but if you can email, please do since adding a person in the chain really increases the chances of screwing up somehow)   kassie@beadingbutterfly.com
