Some of you may be looking for amulet bead kits for sale — sorry, but you are looking for beads in all the wrong places! I am the mild-mannered manager of an education department in a large, metropolitan hospital — not a high powered bead broker! Check out this website for beaded purses and purse frames: Purse Paradise.
I do teach classes on occasion at The Yarnery in St. Paul and at Amazing Threads in Maple Grove, Minnesota and will more than likely offer the amulet bag class sometime in the next few months. If you live in the area and are interested, leave a comment and I’ll let you know when it is scheduled.
I live in Minnetonka – I know Shelly Kang – anyway I would love to be notified
regarding the amulet bag – I haven’t knit with beads before and it looks very pretty.

What if I want a copy of the instruction sheet and not any of the supplies. I would love to purchase from you just the instruction sheet. I live in Portland, Oregon and it is too far to take a class, but I think I can figure it out from the sheet. Most of the purses from the Paradise web site have frames and are not simple for hanging around the neck.

Would you consider making your pattern available for the amulet bag you gave Wendy? I have looked at other patterns and yours is the one I like best….I’d be happy to purchase the pattern!!

Since you’re not a high powered bead broker, would you consider being a printing press instead? I, for one, would LOVE to be able to purchase this pattern from you since I’m too far for the (far superior) option of taking your course!
Let me know if you’d be willing to part with the pattern for a few bucks or so!!
Thanks,
Stacee
