COILED KITS





BEADED BABIES





Beaded Babies: These brand new baskets are quick and easy to make. A few rows of coiling is done in the bottom center and then you start the beads. If you have never coiled before, this is a good place to start. The baskets are "goof-proof" as they can be any shape you desire and your shape is never wrong. You are supplied with a skein of variegated thread and a card of solid color thread. Each will make a different basket. Matching beads are included with each. You can stop the basket when you reach the desired height and then add a few rows of solid coiling again to finish off the basket. Kit has everything you need except scissors. Kit makes two baskets and is recommended for all levels.

CHICOPEE TRAY





This is a uniquely Southwest tray is done in all the

favorite warm colors that remind you of Arizona, New Mexico, etc. All of the beads were selected to enhance

the colors of the four-ply silk threads. There are both

glass and metal beads of several sizes, so the basket also has a textured look, as well. The tray looks difficult at first glance....... but, looks are deceiving. You build the tray, row by row. Once the first beads are in place, it sets the tone for the slightly oval look. A special tool to help you measure precisely is included in your kit. Each "next" set of beads are placed directly over or between the previous set of beads and again, the tool for placement there for you to double-check the spacing. Designed for the intermediate weaver and above.

Measures 5-1/4" across widest point 1/2" deep

depending on the maker.

COILED BEGINNINGS





Coiled Beginnings - These baskets were created for the very beginning weaver who wants to learn coiling. The basket, itself, has no design and is coiled with 4 ply thread. The shape may be any shape that you like -every shape is correct. The beaded edging is an old Native American technique. It is a very easy technique and you will want to do it again. A sheet of drawings walks you through getting started and also there is another sheet (drawing) showing you how to do the top beading - called "frets". The kit makes one basket. There are many choices of colors and matching beads.

Tray - 3-3/4" across x 5/8' deep.

Basket - 1-3/4" across x 1-1/8 deep

Basket Size and shape may vary depending on the weaver.

NAZCA TRAY





This beautiful tray is coiled with four ply variegated silk thread, with both open and closed coiling. The thread design swirls in a forward direction and the beads swirl in the opposite direction. The variegation in the thread creates many color combination, as you over-stitch the previous row. Basket is suggested for intermediate weavers and above.

SOUTHWEST TURTLE NECKLACE





This timeless symbol of determination is recognizable the world over and now you can wear it around your neck. This is actually a fairly easy pattern to accomplish with a Circle Guide (included in your kit), a few blocks and some well placed stitches. The pendant is basically flat. When the pendant is finished, you will add frets to the edge of your pendant - this is an old Native American technique, which is easy to do. The neck cord slides and is adjustable, for all sizes. You can choose either a black or white background and list several colors and I will find a variegated thread to match your choice.

SQUASH BLOSSOM TRAY





Squash Blossom coiled with 4 ply silk thread that is lightly waxed . Lotus Blossom is a traditional Native American design that is sometimes seen in their older baskets. The six pointed "star" pattern is an exercise in stacked blocks. A Circle Guide (tool created by Judy) will help you to place each petal in it's exact position, making the petals evenly spaced. Matte glass beads near the outer edge repeat the "look" of the beads within the petal design. This basket is recommended for the more skilled weaver of coiled baskets.


Measures 4-1/2" across x 3/4" deep

TIDAL WAVE NECKLACE





Tidal Wave Necklace was created after the

Tidal Wave Tray. After making it, I thought it would

be neat to be able to wear a necklace with that striking look. Necklace is available in two opposite solid colors

or one solid and one variegated color. Matching beads adorn the adjustable neck cord. This is an easy necklace

to make. It is repetitive and easily achievable. You

will want to make more of them.


Measures 2 3/8" wide x 1/4" deep.

TIDAL WAVE TRAY





This very striking tray was created one day, when I got the idea to play with a visual effect and this is the result. The contrasting colors really make the design stand out. It can be coiled with either two solid colors or one solid and one variegated color. The pattern is repetitive and easy to follow. You will want to do this again and again. Recommended for all levels, but best if you have had some previous coiling experience.
