Spotlight:<\/span> “Just watched your Lentil Bead video and immediately I found where my mistake was!” ~Monica-D
\n<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Today’s spotlight is of a very special member, all the way from Brazil! Her name is Monica Daris and she emailed me about the challenges she was having with being able to roll her lentil beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, before sharing our conversation with everyone, I want to tell you Monica, how proud I am of you! You have done a beautiful job on your beads.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since English is not your first language, I know it must have been harder for you to understand everything I was saying in the videos and my emails. But I am thrilled to have been able to help, and that you caught on so quickly. You are just fantastic! Thank you for sending in the photos of your work and for your wonderful words!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here Are Excerpts From Our Email Conversation…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

MONICA WRITES:<\/strong><\/span> Hi Cindy. I have just became a member and I regret that I haven\u00b4t done it before. Anyways, I am pursuing a way to make beautifull swirled beads. I can shape it nicely to a bicone. I can even start swirling but I frequent have to stop it before I reach the point I would like to. Somehow I feel that I will damage my bead or that I can not phisycaly swirl it anymore. I was wondering if your Jupiter beads cover exactly what I am talking about. If not, can you post a video on this matter?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

MY RESPONSE:<\/strong><\/span> Hi back Monica. The Jupiter Beads Video<\/a> is not the one that will help you with this. What you should purchase is the Volume-001 back issue package which has 4 videos about How To Make Lentil Beads<\/a>. Seeing me demonstrate the technique in video, will help you tremendously. I would be thrilled if you would send photos of your work after you go through the Lentil Bead series and practice a bit. I’m sure you will get the hang of it quickly. It’s a very addictive technique :-)<\/span><\/p>\n

MONICA (VERY NEXT DAY): <\/strong><\/span>Again thanks for your attention. I just watched your Vol-001-1 Lentil Bead video and I was glad to have bought it and immediately I found where my mistake was!! Follows attached my latest swirl beads. The brown ones I am using in a necklace and the grey ones, I found it so marvelous, that I have made a nice ring. Thanks again for this tutorial. Warm regards from Brazil!!<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

**<\/strong><\/span> If you have been inspired by my teachings and would like to be featured in an upcoming Spotlight Article<\/span><\/strong>, then please do write up something creative and email it to me along with a selection of your project pics. Make sure to send me high resolution photos that I’ll be able to zoom in on to show the details of your work. If you don’t already have my email address, simply leave a comment below and I will get it to you right away<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
