Crimson Glory Corrections by Deb Moffett-Hall:

The first 5 photos are missing a 1 medium silver, 5 red grouping right at the beginning at the tail, the missing beads miraculously appear in photo 6 just in time to be used to complete step #6. The correct stringing order for step #1 is as follows:
1. String: 1 medium silver (ms), 5 red, 1 ms, 5 red, 1ms, 9 red, 1 ms, 5 red, 1 ms, 5 red, 1 large silver (ls), 1 small round (sr), 1 disk, 1 large round (lr), 1 bicone, 1 small silver (s). Skip the last silver added and pass back through beads to exit the large silver.
2. String: 5 red, 1ms, 5 red pass back up through the 4th ms strung in step #1.
3. Draw thread to snug beads.
4. String 9 red, pass back up through the 3rd medium silver strung in step #1.
5. Draw thread to snug beads.
6. String: 5 red, 1ms, 5 red pass back up through the first ms strung in step #1.

My apologies for the error, thank you Ann for spotting my mistake.
