@@lorifinney7396 So good to know! Thank you, Lori!

Hi Gina! Thank you for stopping by! Glad you enjoyed our live chat. We'll be doing another one on the last Friday evening of September.

Hi Belinda! I agree! It's good for us to take out our UFOs once in a while and think about completing them. Thanks for stopping by! Come again soon - and the meantime, happy beading.

Can you have sweet potatoes? I make a lovely chocolate pudding with them, 2 cups cooked sweet potatoes, 1 1/4 cup plant milk, 1/2 cup cocoa powder and 4-6 dates are the only ingredients, with a dash of vanilla if you want. you need a high speed blender though.

@@belindaeileen Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ll give it to my friend and see if she can make it for me. Thank you again. Sincerely Susan. 💝🥰

Hi Susan, I'm glad you asked about gluten-free recipes. I think Laura McCabe knows a few. Let me ask her. I'll let you know if she has some. Maybe for our late September meeting she could bring something gluten free. How wonderful that you're working on a quilt for our first granddaughter - and yes, she has a beautiful name - Audrey James Margaret! Glad you could stop by! Happy making - and happy granddaughter!

Belinda - that sounds fantastic - and so healthy! I will give it a try. Thank you for sharing with us. Please stop by again soon!

@@Brigid1615 That’s ok, Brigid, we’ll be back again on the last Friday evening of September. And tomorrow we’ll be live with Maggie at 2 pm Chicago time. Maybe you can join us then!

Hi Heather, thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you like my interviews with Suzanne. She's amazing - and fun to work with. More interviews are in process now - and will be posting in the next week or so.

Hi @strawberry - many people would agree with you. It's a widespread misconception that all beaded slippers in this general style were made and used by the Peranakan Chinese. But some were not. Some were made and used in China. How do we know the difference? One way to tell is to look at the beads. As Hweifen Cheah has shown in her books and articles, Peranakan Chinese beaders favored faceted beads 99.9% of the time. The beads on these slippers are unfaceted....as are the beads on many similar pieces of beadwork made in China for Chinese people. It's entirely possible - even likely - that pieces of this nature were made in China for export to island Southeast Asia's Peranakan people - but as far as we know, those pieces were made of faceted beads. I could go on and on - but you get the idea. Beading history is sometimes far more complex than it first appears, as in this case. Anyway, thanks for stopping by - and please stop by again soon!

​@@valeriehectorAlso I realized we also have this version and it's called "alfombra" in Spanish colonial era Philippines

@@beadorigami Thank you, Cindy, I agree completely about Maggie. She is everything you say - and wonderful to work with. More awesome artists are coming up next - please keep stopping by!

Hi @mj4208 - agreed! Suzanne's style of dressing is highly innovative!

Hi Becca, thank you for your kind words! Im glad you like these bead curtains enough to want to visit in person. I'll let you know if I'm ever able to curate a larger exhibition!

Hi, @user-hp - you are right, these kinds of hair ornaments are rare and not well published at all. They deserve a full book of their own. Thanks for stopping by - and please come again soon!

Glad you like this bead curtain!

I love these! Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing these. I’m in a wheelchair and have many autoimmune diseases so I don’t leave my home for years now. I miss going to museums and art galleries. I appreciate you sharing with me. Means more than mere words can express. 💝🥰🤗

You are welcome, @user-hp! Yes, it did take a lot of work to hang them but the photos and videos that resulted were worth the effort. You are right - beauty can save the world! Thank you for stopping by!

Hi, @kathyfriedman, you are very welcome. Thank you for telling me that you like the interviews I've been doing. I appreciate it a lot! More interviews are in the works now - I'm hoping for 2 more this month if not 3. Anyway, thanks for stopping by!

Hi, @_michelleyeager - Suzanne often uses "Artkal" beads, as far as I know. I think they come in one size. As for the other bead sizes she uses, I think it depends on the piece. You could try contacting her through her Instagram account - @beadygurl_duchess_of_dover. I'm sure she'd be happy to know that you watched her interview.

Hi Becca, you are right - what Laura says about failure is very true. I have learned a lot. Instead of streaming to UA-cam via Zoom, I'm looking into streaming via the Streamyard app. I'll know by Friday which one is best. I'm glad you like Laura's idea of a monthly group meeting! I'm pretty sure we'd all have lots of fun.

Thank you very much, @tishsmiddy! I'm glad you like this structure - I invented it sort of by accident - which just shows how much is possible in this amazing field! I'm just about to get back to making tutorials...

I agree with you, @tishsmiddy - sometimes you can't use cheap manufactured beads in your finished designs. But they can be great for testing ideas and learning new techniques. Yes, you will learn - we're all learning, these days, thanks to this incredible internet world we're living in.

I’ve enjoyed your Videos so much ! ❤🤩🎉

Thank you for telling me so, @tishsmiddy! There's been such a steep learning curve - but I love doing all this! Thank you for appreciating what I'm trying to do!

There's potential everywhere when you're a maker, @tishsmiddy. I'm sorry that you broke your kneecap..which sounds terribly painful. I hope beads will help speed your recovery. Thank you for stopping by.

Hi, @diamamatias - thanks for stopping by and liking Suzanne's Interview #1. She's amazing and her work is magical. Yes, she sometimes starts with ideas or techniques cfeated by other bead artists - but she always tries to do something different to add her own touches and spin. I'm not sure that she teaches - but you can follow her Instagram feed to see more of what she creates every day - she's at beadygurl_duchess_of_dover - and maybe you can leave a question on her feed, asking her if she'll ever teach? Anyway, at some point, we'll schedule a LIVE Q & A for Suzanne here on Beading Globally - and we'll invite questions from all who stop by. Date and time TBA.
