Vidra Azul Bracelet was created by Melissa Shippee for everyone attending our Bead Soup event in Porches, Portugal in August 2025. This bracelet is once again just like all the tiles you will see in Portugal. You will see the blues everywhere you go. They are in the restaurants and on the hotels and in the shops so you can take them home
Classes in the US through Zoom 10-2:00 p.m. east coast time
Classes in person in Portugal 3-7:00 p.m.
This bracelet is for the advanced beginner and above and it will have you dreaming about Portugal every time you wear it. You will need to know multiple beading stitches to be able to keep up in class. Each kit will come with printed instructions that have written instructions and diagrams.
Kits pricing TBA as soon as Melissa is finished. They are mandatory. They are required to be purchased before the event so they can be shipped and you can bring them with you to the event. Always bring your favorite thread and needles for bead embroidery.
We are beading in the morning and sight seeing in and around Porches in the afternoon if anyone wants to join us
