Hi everyone,

A big thank you to everyone who made it to this month's meeting! We continued our exploration of Peyote shapes. It was a challenging evening, with much to absorb. Thank you all for your efforts and thank you Kathy for all your hard work.

For anyone getting discouraged, it took me years to learn Peyote stitch. YEARS! I was self-taught and could not figure it out. If you're getting discouraged, be patient, take breaks. Try different beads and watch some tutorials.

Kathy recommended this tutorial for Open Shapes, I just watched it and it's very good.

There was some discussion last night about the Chatty Cathy Pendant, the triangle shaped pendant with the rivoli in the middle.

See you then!
