\"Zebra <\/span>“75% of you
\nvoted against
\nthe lanyard tute.
\nA clear majority for
\nthe opposition.”
\n~Cindy-L<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The other day I followed my usual approach in asking for votes before deciding whether or not to film the proposed beaded lanyard<\/a> tute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also as usual, I gathered up and re-posted a bunch of member request comments that had already been added here at the blog over the past month or so… comments suggesting that a lanyard tute would in fact be a good topic for the members library.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what happened next was actually a bit surprising… 75% of you voted against the lanyard tute. A clear majority for the opposition. So the bottom line…<\/em> no lanyard tute.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is unfortunate for those who were in favor. But I guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles. When something is put to a vote, there is always going to be a winner and a loser.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now there is one thing I would like to point out before moving on. And this really is more for those who submitted a “no”<\/em> vote for reasons that you, “already know enough about making lanyards.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, you can never know everything. Often it is the one little tip or technique you pick up from someone else, that can make a world of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n

When I first started making lanyards, I ended up having to do a bunch of “warranty work.”<\/em> That’s what Doug called it (lol), when someone brought back a piece for repairs. This happened because I still had things to learn.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please realize that as much as possible, I try to inject<\/em> some of this trial-and-error<\/em> knowledge into all of the lessons I create for you guys.<\/span><\/p>\n

To put a value perspective on this, you should realize that my video lessons work out to a cost of only 83 cents each. If you end up gaining just one tidbit of knowledge that saves you from the expense (and embarrassment) <\/em>of having to do warranty repairs<\/em>… well that would be worth it don’t you think?<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I make lanyards but Cindy has always shown me a new twist, short cut, or improvement between her version and my version of any technique she has been so kind as to show us. I work in a profession in which these are in high demand and I’m always looking for a way to improve mine so the tut would be a plus for me! <\/span>~Melinda-H<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still say yes to the lanyard. I also agree with Melinda-H. For those of you who have seen a free tute or already know how, Cindy always has a unique way of making something easier. I could never say NO to one of Cindy’s tutes. By the way, I would also sometime love to see the Zebra bead done as well. I love the Zebra pattern. Uuuuuuuuuuuuggggggss. <\/span>~Peggy-B<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alright, so let’s move on. In light of the 75% lack of support for the lanyard tute, what I’ll do instead, is include the zebra cane as the 4th and final episode in Vol-024. You guys made it pretty clear that Zebra’s trump Lanyards :-)<\/span><\/p>\n

I LOVE the zebra beads in this lanyard! I’ve been begging for zebra for months! I adore these beads, especially with purple cores. Really cute! The lanyard is gorgeous, as well, especially with purple-core’d ZEBRA beads! <\/span>~Phaedrakat<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think Phaedrakat had a great idea about the zebra cane! They’re fun and can easily be adapted to tiger canes, so that’s what I’d vote for too.<\/span> ~Sue-F<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Oooh, Cindy, it’s a dream of mine – zebra print canes.\u00a0 Since I haven’t yet made even my first cane this might be a tad ambitious, but I’d love to see it, and have it ready for when my ability catches up with my enthusiasm! Everything you do is wonderful anyway. All the best from Down Under. <\/span>~Mary-U<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am very keen on this idea. My #1 request would have to be Zebra print. I have the most awesome zebra rubber stamp. The detail is oh so beautiful. You would swear the eyes are real. It is such a beautiful animal when you really look at the print. Would love some beads to go with my Zebra Pendant. Please with whip cream and a cherry on top as my little Justice says when he really wants something. And I do want this tute. Another great idea Cindy. Uuuuuuuggggs to all.<\/span> ~Peggy-B<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
