This weekend I taught a class called "Capturing the Stone". I believe a successful class is due to the detail and preparation of the instructions. As I bead a design I am visualizing how I will reconstruct it in the software program I use. This is an example of a graph I used in my instructions. Each bead in the diagram is drawn one at a time and the design is reconstructed.
I brought along an example of a netted bracelet with a cabochon center. Once completed the Captured Stone can be used as a focal point on a necklace or on a bracelet design or as brooch.
The pattern for the netted bracelet can be found at Bead-Patterns.com
Netted Bracelet
Pattern #8383
Dress up a netted bracelet with a picot edging. Finish off with a square stitch closure and a fancy button.
I was in a beading frenzy this afernoon. The cabochon was captured and the netted started for the bracelet. I see gray pearls as accent embellishments completing this design.

... and your instructions are some of the best out there - clear, concise and complete.
I'm already for Christmas, shopping's done - are you?
These are just amazing - do you back your focal bead (stiff stuff and ultra suede) or just bead around it? I bought your netted bracelet pattern today - but will do something else for the November netting challenge. But I must say I am dying to try this bracelet!
Jean I use e'tal paper to bead embroider around the cab. Than it is backed with ultra suede. Have fun with the netted bracelet. I don't see why you couldn't use for the challenge. Add something to top to make it unique.
I think I am going to try a necklace for the November challenge - netting is new for me - as are most beadweaving techniques - but I am having fun. One question if that is OK after you bead your cab how do you attach it to the netted bracelet? I have done a few beaded cabs but I used them in a necklace that I strung never in a bracelet.
