I find all the branded naming very annoying &#8211; just keep it simple and basic! Still looking for a photo editor app that I can commit to learning.<\/p>\n<p>I avoided making string. It was a lesson in one of the previous courses and I just couldn&#8217;t absorb it. Overwhelm, or worry that my string wouldn&#8217;t hold together? But once I sat down with a strip of silk to try it, I found making string very quick and easy. I used the silver heart charm sent from India F. to course participants. And a torn length of flimsy eco-dyed silk from a course last year with Susan Smith. I love reusing materials from previous projects. I&#8217;m also in love with the bracelet. It feels like a huge affirmation of this crafting path. I want to make a lot more string!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m working daily on various projects for India Flint&#8217;s a clearing in the woods course.
