Issue 38 (Nov/Dec 2011) Holiday Issue

Welcome friends to issue #38
      Winter Holiday time again! Ronit shares a Dancing Lights Chanukah bracelet with matching earrings. Michelle was busy this month and has created two projects; a fun Fire Polished Holly Necklace and an odd count peyote bracelet or bookmark panel that spells out heartwarming sentiments. Sandy works her magic with smoky colors for an enchanting seed bead collar. I have designed a Herringbone bracelet and a Christmas tree crystal drop, perfect for gifts. Barbara first went a little wild with peyote captured buttons and then simply elegant with seed and fire polished beads in classic black and crystal. Diana uses natural pearls in her graceful Pearl Drop necklace but any round 6mm bead would look just as pretty.
      Best wishes & full bead dishes, Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
