A Bit of
Spring Cleaning
In last issues editors letter, I made grand plans to celebrate
National Craft Month in March by wrapping up several UFOs
(unfinished objects). However, with a toddler and a new baby at home, that ambitious goal proved to be quite difficult. On the flip side, during my attempt to tackle
these projects, I did manage to get a bit of spring cleaning under way in my studio.
While I may not have made much beading progress, I uncovered many of the materials needed to get started on this issues projects.
Here are just a few of our new designs, featuring soft color palettes and flowery
motifs that are perfect for spring. Start with Passementerie Bangle (page 40) by Alice
Coelho, our lovely cover project adorned with a wandering trail of two-hole seed
beads. Try Csilla Csirmazs Confection Cuff (page 54), which joins perfectly stitched
bezels in a trellis-like pattern. And dont miss Evelna Palmontovs fun-to-stitch
components in her Saffron Blooms Bracelet (page 58), plus her inventive way of
incorporating piggy beadsone of the newest bead shapesinto her sweet Sanibel
Medallion (page 50).
Youll also notice in this issue that our talented senior graphic designer, Connie
Poole, did a bit of spring cleaning as well, giving our pages a fresh new look. Easy-toread type, clean opening layouts that focus on our beautiful project photography,
and modern graphics brighten our pages. Tell us what you think of our new design!

I stitch a couple of
pieces each month,
and family and friends
love receiving, buying,
and wearing them.
The Nana Book is a
scrapbook Im creating for my little
granddaughter. A
beaded piece is tucked
into each layout, surrounded by
journaling. Now, if
only shell wait until
shes older to dive into
the bling!
I bead in my spare
time, of which I dont
have all that much at
the moment, so I
average about one
piece a week. I love to
give my jewelry away
as gifts to family and
friends. Nothing says
you matter to me
better than a handmade gift.
Alice Coelho
On average, I make
two to four pieces a
week, depending on
the difficulty and the
reason. If Im creating
pieces to submit to
publications, I make
duplicates and make
various colorways. I do
sell some of my pieces,
but mostly keep them
for myself or give them
as gifts.
Stefanie Deddo-Evans
Sandie Bachand
As many pieces as I
can. This depends
mostly on how much
time I have. Speaking
of time, I wanted to
suggest to authorities
that one year should
have 500 days instead
of 365 so that I could
bead more. And then
twenty-four hours is
not enough for a day;
please make it something like fifty so that
I could bead even
more.

The materials in this kit certainly are not me, so this Challenge was
definitely a challenge! Once I embraced the dare, I formed peyotestitched tubes and a beaded magnetic clasp (see my blog post about
how to make this clasp at bit.ly/177KHJG), then strung them together
with a peppering of the floral polymer clay beads. Now all I need is to
be invited to a luau so I can wear the bracelet.
The colors from the kit really inspired this bead-embroidered design. I
loved the dark tones of the iris fringe beads and wanted to incorporate
as many as possible in the design. I added the same iris color
throughout the piece as well as different shades of pink and purple
seed beads. I used a lot of the size 6 and 8 beads, pearls, and glass
beads from the kit.

Shibori ribbon contains rich, deep colors and hues along with a texture
that naturally flows. What an excellent backdrop for the Blushing
Summer Garden! As I beaded on the ribbon, I let the twists, turns, and
pleats direct my needle. Clusters of pearls and Swarovski crystals
ripple down and around the various paths. Flowers made of polymer
clay and Swarovski rivolis bloom throughout.

The number and size of peyote-stitched
beads placed between the right-angle-weave
units determine the overall shape. Play
around with bead choices to achieve the
desired look.
To make a square, build the side strips of
right-angle weave off of adjacent top and side
beads in the corner units so the sides sit at
right angles to each other. Use size 15 seed
beads for the inside round (Round 2) and
size 11 seed beads for the outside round
(Round 3). Place a drop at each corner.
To make a triangle, build the side strips of
right-angle weave off of adjacent top and side
beads in the corner units so the sides sit at
right angles to each other. Use size 15 seed
beads for the inside round (Round 2) and
size 8 seed beads for the outside round
(Round 3). Place a drop at each corner.

Use tight tension to form sturdy
beaded beads.
To make stringing the beads easier,
make a makeshift needle using wire
or an eye pin and attach it to the
eyelet on one end of the chain.
For a different look, use pearls,
fire-polished beads, or spike beads
for the embellishment.
Wear the beaded beads alone on
a chain, strung with several other
types of beads, or incorporated into
a more elaborate design.

Use Nymo size D, Toho One-G, or
4 lb FireLine thread to stitch these
earrings. Any thicker thread will fill
the bead holes too quickly.
If desired, paint the back side of
the rivolis with nail polish or Vintaj
patina ink in a color matching your
beadsthis will protect the rivoli

artists tips
Occasionally stop and review your
stitching. Sometimes the seed beads
will hide beneath the pearl; if this
happens, just pull them out of hiding
with a needle.
If youd rather work with a shorter
length of craft or topstitching thread,
start a shorter strand of beads
(Kathleen recommends about 4') and
add more later. When youve used up
your beads, trim the working thread
6" from the beadwork. Add beads,
continuing in the stringing sequence
from Step 2, keeping in mind that the
last bead strung is the first bead
worked. Join the working thread from
the rope to the new thread by forming a
weavers knot or a tight surgeons knot,
then tie an overhand knot for added
security. Continue crocheting the rope.

In spring 2014, brothers Steven and William Ladd of New York City will exhibit
beaded accessories, drawings, and large-scale installations created in the last ten
years. Their meticulous, complex work using beads, metal fittings, fabric, and twill
tape often abstractly references memories of their St. Louis childhood. In conjunction with the exhibit, the pair will conduct hands-on workshops with local schools,
lecture about their work, and host a trunk show with their jewelry. The Function
and Fantasy exhibit hosted by the Mingei International Museum in San Diego,
California, runs through June 1. Learn more at www.mingei.org and

techniques
PASS THROUGH
VS PASS BACK THROUGH
Pass through means to move the needle in
the same direction that the beads have
been strung. Pass back through means to
move the needle in the opposite direction.
STRINGING
Stringing is a technique that uses beading
wire, needle and thread, or other material
to gather beads into a strand.
STOP BEAD
A stop bead (or tension bead) holds your
work in place. To make one, string a bead
larger than those you are working with,
then pass through the bead one or more
times, making sure not to split the thread.
FRINGE
Exit from the foundation row of beads or
fabric. String a length of beads plus 1 bead.
Skipping the last bead, pass back through
all the beads just strung to form a fringe
leg. Pass back into the foundation row or
fabric.
WIREWORKING
To open a jump ring, grasp each side of its
opening with a pair of pliers. Dont pull
apart. Instead, twist in opposite directions
so that you can open and close it without
distorting the rings shape.
SLIPKNOT
With the tail end of the thread in your palm,
wrap the working thread around your index
and middle fingers, and lay the working
thread across the tail end, forming an X.
Spread your fingers slightly and push the
working thread through your fingers from
the back of your hand. Pull this loop up
slightly while holding the tail end of the
thread to form a knot. Place the loop onto
the crochet hook and pull working thread
to adjust the tension.
CHAIN STITCH
Make a slipknot on crochet hook, *yarn
over and draw through loop of slipknot;
repeat from * drawing yarn through last
loop formed.
SLIP STITCH
*Insert crochet hook in stitch, yarn over and
draw loop through stitch and loop on hook;
repeat from *.
PICOT
A picot is a decorative net, most often
made with 3 beads, used to embellish a
beadwork surface.
BEAD CROCHET
Work 5 chain stitches, incorporating 1 bead
in each stitch.
LADDER STITCH
For one-needle ladder stitch, string
2beads and pass through them again.
Manipulate the beads so their sides touch.
String 1bead. Pass through the last stitched
bead and the one just strung. Repeat, adding 1bead at a time and working in a
figure-eight pattern.
SQUARE STITCH
String a row of beads. For the second row,
string 2beads; pass through the second-tolast bead of the first row and through the
second bead just strung. Continue by
stringing 1bead, passing through the thirdto-last bead of the first row, and through
the bead just strung. Repeat this looping
technique to the end of the row.
NETTING
String a base row of 13beads. String
5beads and pass back through the fifth
bead from the end of the base row. String
another 5beads, skip 3beads of the base
row, and pass back through the next;
repeat to the end of the row. To turn, pass
back through the last 3beads (one leg of
the last net). String 5beads, pass back
through the center bead of the next net,
and continue.

techniques (continued)
For circular netting, string 1A and 1B six
times; pass through them again to form a
circle for the foundation round and pass
through the next 1B. *String 1A, 1B, and 1A;
skip 3beads and pass through the following bead in the previous round to form a
net. Repeat from * twice, then step up for
the next round by passing through the first
2beads of the first net. String 2A, 1B, and
2A; pass through the middle bead of the
nearest net in the previous round. Repeat
twice, then step up for the next round by
passing through the first 3beads of this
round. Work each round the same way,
increasing the number of A beads as necessary to keep the work flat, and stepping
up by passing through the first half of the
first net.
BRICK STITCH
Stitch a foundation row in one- or twoneedle ladder stitch. String 2beads and
pass under the closest exposed loop of the
foundation row and back through the second bead. String 1bead and pass under the
next exposed loop and back through the
bead just strung; repeat.
HERRINGBONE STITCH
Form a foundation row of one- or two-needle even-count ladder stitch and exit up
through the final bead. String 2 beads, pass
down through next bead in the ladder, and
up through the following bead; repeat to
the end of the row. Step up for the next row
by wrapping the thread around previous
threads to exit up through the last bead
strung. To form the next row, string 2 beads
and pass down through the second-to-last
bead of the previous row and up through
the following bead. Repeat, stringing
2 beads per stitch, passing down then up
through 2 beads of the previous row, and
stepping up as before. The 2-bead stitch
will cause the beads to angle in each column, like a herringbone fabric.
PEYOTE STITCH
For one-drop even-count flat peyote
stitch, string an even number of beads to
create the first two rows. Begin the third
row by stringing 1 bead and passing back
through the second-to-last bead of the previous row. String another bead and pass
back through the fourth-to-last bead of the
previous row. Continue adding 1 bead at a
time, passing over every other bead of the
previous row.

OVERHAND KNOT
This is the basic knot for tying off thread.
Make a loop with the stringing material.
Pass the cord that lies behind the loop
over the front cord and through the loop;
pull snug.
SQUARE KNOT
This knot is the classic sturdy knot suitable
for most stringing materials. Make an overhand knot, passing the right end over the
left end. Make another overhand knot, this
time passing the left end over the right end;
pull snug.
RIGHT-ANGLE WEAVE
For one-needle right-angle weave, string
4beads and pass through the first 3beads
again to form the first unit. For the rest of
the row, string 3beads and pass through
the last bead exited in the previous unit
and the first 2just strung; the thread path
will resemble a series of figure eights, alternating directions with each unit. To begin
the next row, pass through beads to exit
the top bead of the last unit. String 3beads
and pass through the last bead exited and
the first bead just strung. *String 2beads,
pass back through the next top bead of the
previous row, the last bead exited in the
previous unit, and the 2beads just strung.
Pass through the next top bead of the previous row, string 2beads, pass through the
last bead of the previous unit, the top bead
just exited, and the first bead just strung.
Repeat from * to complete the row, then
begin a new row as before.

Jennifer Maestres work proves that artistic talent can truly be expressed
through any medium with the application of a little innovation and
creativity. Her materials of choice are hardware nails and drilled
pencil segments, which she shapes into spiny sculptures. Each piece
is simultaneously sharp and smooth, organic and composed, fragile
and dangerous, making it as thought provoking as it is beautiful.
