Bead-Patterns the Magazine Issue 39 Jan/Feb 2012 Executive Editor: Deb Moffett-Hall
Welcome friends to issue #39.
January and February are the perfect months to snuggle in with your favorite hot beverage, some good music or a cherished movie and a full tray of beading supplies! We have three delightful Valentine themed projects for you: Ronit shares her Puppy Love bracelet with matching earrings. I offer the 2012 Valentine crystal drop; hearts with a heart of gold. Sandra Halpenny works seed bead lace to create darling tatting-style hearts. Barb Grainger shows us how to dress up an ordinary toggle and how to stitch an extraordinary toggle bar. Michelle played with Tila beads and crystals to stitch a dynamic bracelet. She also designed a wintery peyote snowflake bracelet panel. Dottie Hoeschen crafts gorgeous polymer clay leaves and these quick to stitch peyote tube earrings are a fun way to showcase a few. Need a “His” or “Hers” bracelet? Metal seeds beads and peyote stitch is just the thing!
Quick to stitch, fun to wear, and a great gift! The metal seed beads create a wonderful mesh. Be sure to use heavier Fireline and a doubled thread.
