Welcome friends to issue #9. Happy New Year! 2007 promises to be a very beady year. New bead shows and bead shops are cropping up all over the country making it even easier to fulfill our bead-needs.

Halpenny shares another of her exquisite seed bead and crystal creations. Julie Ann Smith offers an elegant pastel Victorian Roses cuff bracelet, while Linda Gettings’ color block herringbone bracelet is bold and beautiful. Dottie Hoeschen and Doris Coghill present projects to showcase those large artist beads you treasure. The weather outside is frightful but the beads are so delightful so let us bead, let us bead, let us bead...
Best Wishes & Full Bead Dishes, Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
Simple net stitch makes an impressive and deceptively intricate looking 16” necklace – the design elements open slightly as the necklace is worn for a fabulous petal look!
Meet the Bead Artist - Page 13 Raychel Stein of Birdsong Beads
This delightful tassel has a top loop stitched with circular peyote around a piece of rattail cord. The cord adds stability and supports the weight of the art bead & the lush kinky fringe.
Art Bead Micro-Macrame Necklace - Page 20 By Dottie Hoeschen
Learn the art of micro-macramé using the new C-Lon cord to knot a 15” necklace featuring a favorite art bead!
So romantic! A single large pink rose is framed by lacy rosebuds in this precious peyote bracelet project.
The Key To My Heart Key chain - Page 33 By Carlene Cooley-Brown
A Hidden Compartment Keychain. This terrific two-color design is odd-count peyote but can easily be worked in even-count by adding the last border row with brick stitch.
Peyote Medallions - Page 35 for Pillbox or Beverage Tote By Joan L. Hurlbut & Deb Moffett-Hall
Flat round peyote panels 1 & 5/8” have many creative uses: pillbox, accent charms, key chains, & ornaments. Joan shares a leaping dolphin detail taken from her new book Beaded Beauties, Wolves Bats and other Critters of Travel. My grape design fits the pillbox too, but it also makes a unique accent charm for a leather bottle tote.
Color Block Herringbone Cuff - Page 41 By Linda Gettings
Create a bold fashion statement in supple, drape-y flat herringbone using several bead sizes for visual texture and drama. Faceted beads catch the light along the edges. Big seed beads make the bracelet quick to finish.
