Has anyone made a peyote cuff with cabochon(s) using ultrasuede? Ive got some orderd and really fancy tring it but arent too sure how to go about it!

ho hum! I think im on my own here!

You may be Janey. I can't help, but just answered so that you don't feel lonely

You'll have to tell us how you get on. Maybe you'll be able to teach everyone when you've mastered it.

Thanks Celia, thats very thoughtful of you!

hi hon-yes a couple- i used laceys stiff stuff then backed it with ultasuede-sorry but i found it a real pain to do but my stiff fingers used to protest a lot-am now trying without a backing-letme knw how you get on

Thanks Pollie, I promise if i ever master it I`ll post it, fancy a native american turquoisey theme with a lovelt snowflake obsidian cabochon Ive got hanging about!

Jean Power was doing a series of them a little while ago and had some 'in progress' pics on her website blog

Otherwise if you flick through back issues of beading mags there are often projects with suede-backed cabs - or try Beading Daily or the Bead & Button website, you might find an online project.
Can't help you further as I've never used this technique!

Thanks for that hon, thats a great starter for me. Im off for a google!

oooh, have to resurrect this thread. I love beading cabs....(the girls on here have a lot to answer for, lol).

Janey, where did you find an Ultrasuede supplier, hun? I've never been able to find it.

Ive just replied to this somewhere else...spoky!! I got a piece off e bay a while ago, I`ll go see if I can find who I got it from hon.

I just went on e bay and theres a few sellers on there tonight with different amounts of suede if that helps.

Cheers, hun. Yep read your other post,

One lady on ebay is sending me a sample of what she has to make sure it's the right stuff, plus I bought a square from Susan.

My original intention was to bead a cuff as I bought a few blanks, but ended up doing this collar thing.

Looking forward to seeing if you've done one anyway, 'cause this is an old thread now....so???? Have you done one?????

Bought the ultrasude, got the sheet alluminium and the interfacing, got loads of beads n cabs (thanks Tan ) NOT made a thing with them Typical, I have about 5 projects on the go at one time, Im a gemini...were easy to distract!!

Oh well. Something for us to look forward to then, eh???
