Bead-Patterns the Magazine Issue 28 "Spring" Mar/Apr 2010
Executive Editor: Deb Moffett-Hall
Welcome friends to issue #28.
Enough with the snow already! I enjoy an occasional snowbound weekend with my bead stash and old movies but after back to back to back 12"++ snowstorms cabin fever is looming large! Lucky for me this issue contains lots of spring time projects. Ronit Florence shares TWO fabulous flower peyote cuff designs: Easter Lilies and Daffodils. Marilyn Peters has a really fun twist on the spiral stitch in spring time colors. Daughter Michelle tries her hand at macrame with stunning results. Sandra D. Halpenny offers a bracelet with 3 different design options! Herringbone never looked so good, Barb Nichols dresses up a beaded band with a ruffled Rivoli centerpiece. Speaking of ruffles how about stitching up some ruffled links to complement a new art bead with Linda Gettings. Set a beautiful table with blooming tea lights from Sharon Boehme. I feel better already!
A large stone donut and beautiful copper accents are combined into a stunning necklace with a few simple macramé knots.
