Because the project for this class can take many forms, we recommend that you come to class with a general idea of what you would like your project to look like.  Browsing through magazines and catalogs will provide inspiration and give you ideas about color and the scale of your beads.  Purchase as many of the beads as possible before your class, and Jennifer will work with you to determine the findings (the metal parts) and cord you will need. Because your classmates may have projects very different from yours, you will also be able to gain knowledge from their experience.
