Beginner Level
This is the easiest level of difficulty. To work these patterns, the individual must possess a basic knowledge of the materials being used. They must have the ability to "Pull Points" and perform the "Criss Cross" technique. Each pattern may take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
Intermediate Level
This level of difficulty requires the individual to have mastered the techniques needed for the Beginner Level. Typically, more beads will be used in these patterns. Each pattern may take 2 to 4 hours to complete. Designs require you to work with multiple wires.
Advanced Level
This level of difficulty requires that the individual be prolific at the skill sets used in the Beginner and Intermediate Levels. The advanced technique called "Weave Wrapping" must be learned. Due to the complexity of some designs, tension is an issue that may require the individual to make adjustments at some point. To complete some patterns, sections will be made separately, then assembled together. Each pattern may take 4 to 6 hours to complete.
Advanced Plus Level
This level of difficulty requires that the individual master all previous skill sets. The "Two-Wire Woven" and "Two-Wire 3D" techniques must be learned. We recommend that individuals attend classes to master these techniques before venturing off on their own. To complete some patterns, sections will be made separately, then assembled together. Each pattern may take 6 to 15 hours to complete.
Advanced Plus Plus Level
This level of difficulty requires that the individual master Advanced Plus techniques and have knowledge of increasing and decreasing 3D work.
