Bead-Patterns the Magazine Issue 15 Jan/Feb 2008 Executive Editor: Deb Moffett-Hall
Welcome friends to issue #15
Happy New Year! These are my favorite months to bead, bead, BEAD! The major holidays are over, the guests have gone home, the kids are entertained by their new games (at least for a little while) and I have bead gift certificates from my thoughtful family & friends that allow me to indulge in some guilt-free bead feasts. This is also the time when I like to explore new techniques, something a little different or even a bit challenging. Dottie Hoeschen has given us an Uneven Herringbone bracelet to try using two very divergent seed bead sizes –unique! Sandra D. Halpenny has out-done herself with a clever string of fire-polished and seed bead hearts. Welcome Shirley Isaacs! Learn odd-count peyote making her gorgeous gold and jewel-tone cuff bracelet. I have presented my newest experiment: Counted Bead Macramé – It takes a little time to set up but then moves along nicely, hope you enjoy all the wonderful projects.
Best Wishes & Full Bead Dishes, Deb Moffett-Hall - Editor
Stitch a lacy seed bead bezel for the lovely heart shape crystals from Swarovski. The open-work sides allow the light inside the crystal for maximum flash & sparkle.
Sweet Heart Roses - Page 8 Secret Compartment Perfume Vial The top unscrews to reveal a removable tiny glass vial with a plastic perfume dauber for your favorite scent, a black satin neck cord with a gold clasp.
Use simple tools to make a custom multi-strand chain bracelet cleverly accented with seed beads. Silver- tone findings from the craft store simply LOOK expensive.
Lots of eye-catching movement and razzle-dazzle sparkle in this brick stitch and stringing 7" bracelet with a fire-polished fringed center!
Encrusted Uneven Herringbone - Page 21 By Dottie Hoeschen
Working flat herringbone stitch with both size 11/o seed beads and size 6/o seed beads creates a wonderfully supple textured bracelet base that is very easy to embellish with all those lovely odds and ends in your bead dish.
Garnet Hearts Bracelet - Page 25 By Sandra D. Halpenny
Weave size 11 seed beads and 4mm fire-polished beads into a garland of lacy hearts to wear on your wrist. Make a longer garland for a matching choker.
Geometric Cuff Bracelet - Page 33 By Shirley Isaacs
Shirley needed a gold bracelet to match a particular outfit and encourages you to select accent colors to suit your style & wardrobe. Odd count peyote is used to stitch the entire 7" bracelet, including the clasp!
When does even-count peyote not look like peyote? When you combine size 11/o Delicas with size 8/o Delicas! A quick-to-stitch project that is easy to customize by changing the bead colors and finishes.
