This is an all day long class, not for the faint of
heart. While there are plenty of bead embroidery
elements here, a lot of this project is good old
fashioned stitching, sewing. The bracelet comes together
from ten components most of which need to be finished
individually before assembling the bracelet. It is
well worth the effort though, and really, all you need
is patience, I will make the process easy peasy for you.
The name of the project has to do with Master Zhuang's
dream:
Once upon a time,
I, Chuang Chou, dreamt I was a butterfly,
fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and
purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as
a butterfly, unaware that I was Chou. Soon I awaked, and
there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether
I was then a man dreaming
I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly,
dreaming I am a man.
