EDITORIAL
Hello, Summer!
Are you a seasonal beader? Ive heard knitters say they make
more projects during winter because the cold and short days
keep them snuggled up inside. When it comes to beading,
Ive never found this to be true. In fact, I might actually bead more in the summer
to take advantage of the natural daylight thats perfect for seeing those tiny 15s.
The warmer weather also energizes me to do more of everything. I expect the
exciting projects in this issue to have the same energizing effect on you.
Start by celebrating summer with both stars and stripes! In the third installment
of our 15th Anniversary Beaded Bead Contest, mathematician Florence Turnour
stitched up irresistible beads with subtle star motifs (page 20). For bolder stars, see
Barbara Richards Peyote Star components (page 80) that make great earrings or
additions to necklaces and braceletsshe even offers up a festive red, white, and
blue version. Pair your stars with the stripes that accentuate Cathi Tessiers Swingin
Bugle Cuff (page 58) and Sue Jackson and Wendy Hubicks Squared Elements bracelet (page 28). Are flowers more your style? Then Glorianne Ljubichs sweet, fun-tostitch flowers framed in Tila beads (page 62) are for you. Flip through the pages of
this issue and youre sure to find a project that makes you happy.
Speaking of fun . . . every once in a while my office mates and I step away from
our computers, put down our beads, and laugh about all the idiosyncrasies we beaders share. Surely youve said such things as, Wait, I just need to do one more round
or, my personal favorite, 40 hours, $120 in supplies, no, I wont be selling this. We
think we captured this special brand of humor in our new video, Stuff Beaders Say.
Search for it on www.youtube.com and enjoy a few good laughs on us!
Have fun,

WHAT OUR READERS DID
w.o.r.d.
LINDA ROBERTS of Jacumba, California, made this version

of Nancy Joness Dragon Bangle, which was in the February/
March 2011 issue.
VIRGINIA GUY of University Place, Washington, made this

version of Hatsumi Oshitanis Sleek in Silver necklace from
the October/November 2011 issue.
READERS TIP
Instead of stringing the
embellished pearls on
beading wire as
Melinda suggested, I
used wire wrapping to
connect the elements.
READERS TIP
If I were to make this
bracelet again, I might
change the number of
beaded beads so that
they were more
staggered
when wrapped.
KATIE SAFRANEK EDWARDS of Liberty Lake, Washington,

created a necklace using Melinda Bartas Crystal Rings from the
June/July 2011 issue.
GAIL TOWNSEND of Aylesbury, United Kingdom, made this

version of Cynthia Rutledges Bubble Wrap bracelet, which was in
the October/November 2011 issue.

Thats an easy one. I just took
a class from master beader
Laura McCabe, and she
showed us her secret way of
attaching new thread. It is
the easiest, fastest, and most
secure method I have ever
seen. Take the old thread and
new thread together. Hold
both and make an overhand knot. Pull tight anywhere on the thread. Use two pairs of flat-nose
pliers and pull each thread in opposite directions.
The knot will slide down toward the beads and
disappear into a bead hole. Weave the two tails
into the work, thread the needle onto new thread,
and bead on! SUE CHARET TE-HOOD
I discovered that when I use
high-quality materials, I
more often find new designs
and innovations in my experiments. Now, even when I try
out new ideas, I choose highquality beads in colors that
appeal to me, so the beads I
choose do not obscure the
designs potential. FLORENCE TURNOUR
Learning to compensate
has been my most rewarding
discovery. Rather than pulling
out an ill-fitting cabochon
surround, Ive learned several
techniques that tighten or
loosen the bezel without
starting over. Stitching in the
ditch, netting, and increasing
or decreasing stitches improve a bezels fit and
lead to a new design. CHRISTINE WILSON
What was your most

important beading
discovery?
Maybe the most interesting

discovery for me was a beaded
d
necklace made in the 1950s.
I was sure about the maker of
the beads, so I went to check
the website and found that
they still make the beads
pretty much the same as they
did sixty years ago!
CSILLA CSIRMAZ
One of the biggest discoveries

that I have made since I
started beading has been the
book Color Works by Deb
Menz (Interweave, 2004).
Even though Ive been working
with color over many years, I
get stuck and need help. The
color wheel showing undertones with neutrals is invaluable.
GLORIANNE LJUBICH
My most exciting discovery

has to have been seed beads.
Although I have explored all
kinds of jewelry-making techniques and am currently quite
excited by PMC and enameling, I always go back to seed
beads. They are lovely in all
their variety and so versatile. I
have personally combined them with metalwork,
semiprecious beads, crystals, and PMC and love to
work with them just on their own.
BARBARA RICHARD
Want to become a
Beadwork contributor?
As a novice beader, learning to

control tension was a big
hurdle. Several sources
pointed out the value of not
tying knots in the foundation ring of circular
beadwork or right-angle
weave. Eureka! Tension can be
wonderfully controlled by
pulling the working and tail threads in opposition
to each other, and the work proceeds much more
easily. CALLIE MITCHELL
What if has been my road to
discovery right from the start,
twelve years ago when I first
picked up a beading needle.
New ideas emerge by changing
the bead count within a traditional stitch, breaking the rules
of the color wheel, and never
approaching a project with preconceived ideas. CATHI TESSIER
My greatest discovery was

FireLine! After using what I
now call horrid thread for
several years and watching
my beautiful work disintegrate, I switched to FireLine,
which saved my beading
career! I know we all have different tastes, but I get
discouraged spending time on something and,
poof, its gone. I love that I can tear it out over
and over, and it maintains its integrity.

I havent worked with Tila beads that much, so I heartily

clapped my hands together when I found them in this pretty
kit of burgundy and gold materials. To form the pendant,
I used the Tilas and a variation of cubic right-angle weave
(CRAW). CRAW is something I usually abhor when I have
to edit it, so it was especially enjoyable to play with this
technique without having to write up the instructions. And
come on, that gorgeous bead-filled wire mesh? Definitely worth
the price of admission . . . cant wait to get my hands on more!
I knew right away that I wanted to somehow incorporate chain

in my finished piece, but it took me quite a while to figure out how
to do it. I worked herringbone stitch with the Tila beads and seed
beads, adding one last row with the Magatama beads, and then
I stitched the chain to the top of the Tila beads. It really gave the
necklace more structure and made the ruffle pop! I loved using
the different sizes and shapes of seed beads in this kit because
of the way that they add texture to basic herringbone stitch.

I decided to use the seeds, drops, daggers, Tilas, and focal crystal
from the kit, then added 4mm and 2.5mm bicones with six shades of
Delicas. I used two-needle right-angle weave to form the center piece,
then I built up the back to achieve a puffier appearance. It being my
first time working with Tilas, I wanted to experiment with making an
abstract spiral chain. Much love went into making this piece, which is
why I named it Noramae in honor of my godmother, who was very
spiritual and pure of heart.
This is my first bead challenge. I was very nervous at first,

but after sitting and studying the assortment of beads, the
inspiration finally hit me, and I had to trust my beading skills
to guide me. I love spiral stitch and peyote stitch, so I decided
to combine the two in this design. I also love flowers, and I
regularly incorporate a floral component into my beadwork.

TECHNIQUES YOU CAN' T BEAD WITHOUT
stitch pro { LOOPED FRINGE }
Jean Campbell
You love it straight, kinked, and branched, but have you tried it looped? Looped fringe is not
only easy to stitch, it makes a very full, very versatile fringe. Here are four of my favorite ways
to use looped fringe.
SIMPLE LOOP
These long, draping loops are a great

way to edge the bottom of a bag or
to romanticize the bottom of a necklace. Ive shown it here with seed
beads, but this type of fringe looks
great with other beads, too, such as
fire-polished, pressed-glass, crystal,
or pearl. And dont forget the drops
and daggers; they look great at the
center of this fringe.
String 15 to 30 beads, skip 2 to 3 beads on the edge of the work, and pass through the
next bead; repeat to add large loops along the edge of the work.
TIGHT LOOPS
This technique is the same as above,

but because youre working with a
smaller number of beads and making the stitches closer, they naturally
twist, especially when you use tight
tension. This is a great embellishment for any place you need a full,
fluffy fringe. Though seed beads
work best to achieve the twist, dont
underestimate the fun of a drop,
pearl, or crystal at the center.
String 10 beads and pass through the next bead along the edge of the work; repeat down
the edge of the work, allowing the loops to twist on themselves.
LAYERED LOOPS
This is looped fringe, too, but might

look more like a tight edging. This is a
great way to finish the straight sides
of peyote or brick stitch since it covers
those unsightly threads at the edges.
Exit up through an edge bead. String 5 beads, skip 1 bead along the edge, pass down through
the following edge bead, and up through the previous (or skipped) edge bead; repeat along
the edge of the work, taking care to always pass in front of the previous loops.

Glamorous Jewelry with Swarovski Elements (Creative Publishing International, 2010) and several other beading books. Jean appears as
Stitch Pro on the most recent season of public televisions Beads, Baubles, and Jewels. Visit her at www.jeancampbellink.com.
INTERLOCKING LOOPS
String 20 or more beads, skip 1 to 2 beads along the edge, and pass through the next edge
bead. *String 20 or more beads (the same amount as the last loop), pass through the previous
loop, skip 1 to 2 beads along the edge, and pass through the next edge bead; repeat from *
across the edge of the work. Note: Take care to pass through each of the previous loops in the
same direction so the twists are all oriented the same way.
This is an eccentric fringe,

but especially fetching at the
bottom of something round
(such as a cylinder bag)
because the internal twists
become sculptural, much
as a cable on a knitted fishermans sweater. Youll want to
add more, rather than less,
beads in each loop of this
fringe; you need more beads
per loop to interlock them.

Artists Tip
Since this bead is open and hollow,
a beading wire passing through this
bead would be visible. Consider
stringing this beaded bead on a
strand of seed beads to add texture
and hide the unsightly wire. Use
larger beads on each side of the
seed beads to loosely trap the
beaded bead in place.

Artists Tips
Sue and Wendy save packing material
from packages that they receive and
recycle them as stuffing for projects such
as this one.
To use this technique to make a necklace,
alter the connectors to create a curve. Use
more seed beads in the lower part of the
connector than the upper part.
For a different look, use fire-polished
beads or crystal bicones instead of the
cube beads for the connectors.

Repeat the entire thread path several

times to reinforce. Repeat the connection
sequence from Step 1 between the
third and fifth beads of Rows 2 and 3,
Box 2.
Repeat this entire step six times to form a
strand of 8 boxes, working the patterns in
sequence from Fig. 1c to 1h.
Fig. 8: Adding the bumper to the clasp
3) CLASP BOX. Stitch 2 halves of a box
and place a snap inside to form the clasp:

Body: Using 3' of thread and following the
color pattern in Fig. 7, use A and B to

square-stitch a strip 7 beads wide and
11 rows long.
Snap: Stitch one half of the snap over the
diamond pattern formed by B of the
body, securing the 4 snap holes near the
corners of the beadwork. Exit from the
second A of Row 11 on the same side as
the snap, toward the edge.
Bumper: String 5A; pass through the sixth
A of Row 11, toward the center of the
beadwork (Fig. 8). Repeat the thread
path to reinforce. Note: This row of
beads acts as a bumper for the snap so
the clasp box will keep its shape when
closed. Secure the thread and trim;
set aside.
Top and bottom: Use 1' of new thread to
square-stitch a strip 3A wide and 5 rows
long. Dont trim the thread; set aside.
Repeat to form a second strip.
Top and bottom connections: Fold Row 3
of the body up at a 90 angle to form a
2A-wide side, taking care that the snap
is inside the fold. Using the same tech-
Fig. 9: Forming the clasp
nique as before, sew the top to the place

where the 2 sides meet; repeat to add the
bottom (Fig. 9, green thread). Note: The
top and bottom will only cover half the
length of the body.
Anchor: Take some stitches across the corners to anchor the angles in place (Fig. 9,
blue thread).
Connector: Use the same technique as in
Step 2 to connect this half of the clasp to
the eighth box, taking care to orient the
clasp to match the accent color of Box 8
(Fig. 9, red thread). Secure the thread

and trim.
Repeat this entire step, this time using C
in place of B for the base, stitching on the
other half of the snap, and connecting to
Box 1.

STITCHED AS ONE LONG chain of triangles, this
contemporary necklace is a showcase of beautiful colors

and metallic finishes. Enjoy creating your own color
palette to personalize this exceptional piece.

MATERIALS
1) TRIANGLES. Combine tubular peyote

stitch with herringbone stitch to form a
strand of connected triangles, mixing
colors as desired:
Round 1: Use 6' of thread to string
3 beads, leaving an 18" tail. Tie a knot
to form a tight circle and pass through
the first bead strung.
Round 2: String 2 beads and pass through
the next bead added in Round 1; repeat
twice. Step up for the next and subsequent rounds (unless otherwise indicated) by passing through the first bead
added in the current round (Fig. 1,
purple thread).
Round 3: String 2 beads and pass through
the second bead added in the previous
round (this forms a herringbone stitch),
then string 1 bead and pass through the
next bead added in the previous round
(this forms a peyote stitch); repeat twice
Fig. 1: Stitching Rounds 15
Round 4: Work 1 herringbone stitch
with 2 beads and 2 peyote stitches

with 1 bead in each stitch; repeat
with 2 beads and 3 peyote stitches
1 bead in each stitch; repeat twice
Round 6: Work 15 peyote stitches with
1 bead in each stitch (Fig. 2, blue
thread).
Round 7: Repeat Round 6 (Fig. 2,
red thread).
1 bead in each stitch, skip the next
bead of Round 6, and pass through
the next bead of Round 7 to form a
decrease; repeat twice (Fig. 3). Keep
the tension tight.

decreases will be worked this way at
the corners.
1 bead in each stitch, then form a
decrease; repeat twice (Fig. 4,

Round 11: Work 1 peyote stitch with
1 bead, then form a decrease; repeat
twice (Fig. 4, red thread).
Repeat Rounds 211, continuing to change
colors as desired, until the chain of triangles is 2 triangles fewer than the desired
finished length. Dont cut the thread.
2) FINISHING. Make 1 more triangle,
stopping at Round 7, and set the working

thread aside. Start 18" of new thread and
sew the eye half of the clasp into the triangle so the eye is only exposed when the
triangle is compressed; secure and trim
this thread only. Use the working thread
to continue stitching the triangle, stopping after Round 10. Secure the thread
and trim.
Repeat this entire step at the other end
of the necklace using the tail thread and
the other half of the clasp.

It may be easier to sew the clasp component into the

triangle by first sewing each piece to a very short
cord, then sewing the cord into the triangle.
34
To achieve the necklaces subtle color variations, use

a mix of colors and finishes, but change colors only at
the start of a new round, not midround.
If making your own hook-and-eye clasp as Jean did,
use 22-gauge wire and make the hook very short
(12" or less) and narrow (18" or less). This produces an
almost invisible clasp.

Name
Leslie Frazier has
been teaching
beadwork extensively since 1996
at bead stores,
national bead conventions, art
centers, bead societies, and bead
retreats throughout the United States. Since 2003, she has
visited Japan four times, teaching many
students in Nagoya, Tokyo, Kobe, and
Yokohama. Pinch beads have intrigued
her since 2001, when she worked with
them every day for two months to create
multiple geometric beadwoven structures. Lately her emphasis has moved
away from pinch beads and incorporated
more crystals, but a recent inspiration to
combine rivoli crystals with pinch beads
evolved into this issues design, named
for her hometown in Texas. Leslies work

Artists Tips
Because the necklace is such a dramatic statement, Jill
chose to tone it down with quiet colors like denim blue and
subtle shades of mauve. This allows the piece to be casually
wearable, as would olive green with gray or amethyst with
brown. To garner more attention, choose bold colors to
match the dynamism of the piece.
If youd like to make the piece longer, you dont need to
bead a clasp; just add one long piece of ribbon at the back.
Alternatively, you could omit the ribbon entirely and bead a
chain for the entire necklace.
Fig. 13: Making the

first connection on
the chain
Ribbon: Cut the ribbon into two 8" pieces.
Pass the end of 1 piece through the thin

rectangle link at one end of the chain
and fold it back on itself ". Arrange the
fold and rest of the ribbon so it bunches
up neatly. Tack the ribbon in place with
a few stitches. Wrap a ribbon strip
around the spot where the ribbon end
meets the ribbon, interlocking the first
and last rows; weave the beads together
to form a seamless tube (Fig. 14). Exit
from an edge D; add the same brickstitch edging as on the clasp bar (refer
to Fig. 9), occasionally sewing into the
ribbon to secure the strip in place.
Secure the thread and trim. Place the
other end of the same piece of ribbon
through one of the remaining thin rectangle links. Fold the ribbon back and add
and embellish a ribbon strip as before.
Repeat this entire ribbon section to
complete the other side of the necklace.
Clasp: Place 1 clasp bar through each of
the thin rectangle links at the end
of the necklace to close.

TECHNIQUES

PROJEC T LEVEL
Artists Tips
Some other great fabric choices include laminated cotton, oilcloth,
twill ribbon, remnants, or even recycled fabric from clothing.
Vary the bezel edging by replacing the drops in the cabochon
embellishment with crystal bicones. You could also work three-bead
picots there instead of drops.
Peltex one-sided ultrafirm interfacing was used as the foundation here,
as it fuses nicely to cotton; however, a nonfusible should be used for fabrics
sensitive to heat. Choose a foundation that is heavyweight or use more
than one layer.
Make sure the eyelets are solid and not notched. Notched eyelets will
split rather than fold down when set and can be abrasive against skin.

3) BACKING. Spread a thin layer of glue on
the back (foundation side) of the cuff. Lay
the Ultrasuede on the glued side. Smooth
out the fabric, taking care that the glue
doesnt seep and centering it carefully
to ensure you have the same amount of
excess Ultrasuede on each end. Wrap only
the excess Ultrasuede at the ends around
to the front of the cuff and glue in place.
Let slightly dry, then secure it around a
bracelet mandrel or bracelet-size cardboard form with rubber bands. Once
completely dry, trim the long edges of
the Ultrasuede close to the fabrics edge.
4) CLASP. Set eyelets and add a ribbon
to form the clasp:

Holes: Use the hole punch or awl to form
1 hole thats wide enough to accommo-
Fig. 6: Brick-stitching Row 1 of the edging
date an eyelet at each corner of the base,

" from the edges. Add 1 hole between
each 2 holes at the ends, measuring halfway between the 2 holes already placed.
Eyelets: Place the flared side of the eyelet
through the first hole, from the fabric
side out through the back. Place a
washer over the exposed eyelet tube.
Place the eyelet tool into the tube and
hit gently with a small hammer until the
tube flares out and over the washer
(Fig. 4). Remove the tool and gently tap
the new flared edge with the hammer
until snug. Repeat to set all 6 eyelets
(Fig. 5).
5) EDGING. Brick- and whipstitch the
cuffs edge:
Row 1: Using the sharp needle, secure the
end of 3' of orange thread between the

Ultrasuede and base. Exit from the very
edge of the bases folded edge. String 2I,
pass through the Ultrasuede and base
2 beads width from the last stitch, and
pass back up through the second I just
added (Fig. 6, blue thread). String 1I,
pass through the Ultrasuede and base,
1 beads width from the last stitch, and
pass back up through the I just added
(Fig. 6, red thread); repeat around the
entire perimeter of the cuff (including
the folded portion of the Ultrasuede at
the ends), then stitch the first and last I
together. Exit up through 1I.
Fig. 7: Whipstitching Row 2 of the edging
Row 2: Loop the thread under the nearest
thread loop between 2I. String 1C and

pass under the thread loop of the next
2I from the previous row (Fig. 7); repeat
around the cuff edge. Secure the thread
and trim.
6) ASSEMBLY. Use the jump ring to attach
the star charm to the small hole on the
button. Use the ribbon to lace the ends
of the cuff like shoelaces. Pass the ribbon
ends through the large buttonholes.
Tie the ribbon into a bow.

swingin bugle cuff

C AT H I T E S S I E R
Suspend strands of bugle and seed beads

between panels of peyote stitch for
a flirty and playful bracelet.
Artists Tips
To adjust the size of the bracelet,
change the length of the bugle strands
and/or the number of rows forming the
peyote-stitch panels.
When working with bugle beads, be
sure to use a strong, high-quality
beading thread so the bugles sharp
edges wont easily cut through it.
TECHNIQUES
stringing
peyote stitch
Secure the thread by weaving through

beads in the center of your work. That
way, the bracelets edges will have a
smooth, clean finish with minimal
exposed thread.

ARTISTS TIPS
MATERIALS
Start with any comfortable length of thread and add more thread as needed.
Hold the 2-hole beads flat between your thumb and first finger while stitching.
Each new bead should always fit right against its neighbor without any gaps.
To avoid breaking beads, never force your needle through a tight-fitting hole.
Instead, switch to a smaller needle.
1) BRACELET SEGMENTS. Form a
dimensional bangle using 2-hole beads,

seed beads, and crystals:
Base: Use 6' of thread and the size 10
needle to form a ladder-stitched strip
40D long, leaving a 6" tail (Fig. 1). Connect the last bead to the first and exit
the right hole of the first base bead.
Note: Try on the bangle to make sure it
fits over the widest part of your hand;
add or remove beads as necessary to
adjust the length.
Stitch 1: String the left hole of 1D, 2A, 1B,
1C, 1B, 2A, and the left hole of 1D. Pass
through the right hole of the base D the
thread is exiting (Fig. 2, blue thread).
Keep the tension tight. Note: The 2 Ds
added in this stitch are the first of the
side Ds.
Stitch 2: Pass up through the right hole of
the first D added in Stitch 1. String 2A;
pass through the 1B/1C/1B added in
Stitch 1. String 2A; pass down through
the right hole of the second D added in

Stitch 1, pass through the left hole of the
next base D, and exit through the right
hole of the base D just entered (Fig. 2,
red thread).
Stitches 340: Repeat Stitches 1 and 2
around the base.
Connecting the stitches: Weave through
beads to exit the right hole of the first
side D added in Stitch 1 and the next A.
*String 2A; pass down through the next
A and the left hole of the next D on the
same side of the bangle (Fig. 3, blue
thread). Pass up through the right hole
of the D just entered and the next A
(Fig. 3, red thread). Repeat from *
thirty-nine times to connect the stitches
on one side of the bangle. Turn the beadwork over and weave through beads to
exit the right hole of 1 side D and the
next A. Repeat from * to connect the
stitches on the other side of the bangle.

toward the right, pass through the next
A, the 2A added to connect the stitches,
the next A, and the left hole of the next
side D. String 1A; pass through the right
hole of the last base D exited and back
through the left hole of the nearest base
D to the right (Fig. 4, red thread).
Repeat around for a total of 80A.
Side 2: Turn the beadwork over and weave
through beads to exit the left hole of

Horizontal strips: Use 6' of conditioned
thread to string 1F, 1E, 1G, and 1E; pass

through the second hole of the F just
added to form a picot, leaving an 8" tail.
Tie the working and tail threads into a
square knot. Pass up through the left
hole of the F, through the E/G/E just
added, and down through the right hole
of the F (Fig. 1, green thread). *String
1F; pass down through the right hole of
the previous F added and up through
the left hole of the F just added (Fig. 1,
blue thread). String 1E, 1G, and 1E; pass
down through the right hole of the last F
added. Pass up through the left hole of
the F, through the E/G/E just added, and

(Fig. 1, red thread). Repeat from *
twenty-nine times to form a strip with
31F. Dont trim the threads; set aside.
Repeat this section to form a second
horizontal strip.
Vertical strips: Use 3' of conditioned
thread to repeat the horizontal strip,
this time not adding any E or G and
forming a strip 5F long. Dont trim the
threads; set aside. Repeat this section
five times for a total of 6 strips.
Assembly: Arrange 1 horizontal strip so
the picots point up. Place 1 vertical strip
under the horizontal strip. Use the
working thread of the vertical strip to
pass up through the left hole of the first
F on the horizontal strip, through the
nearest E/G/E, down through the right
hole of the F, and through the last hole
exited on the vertical strip (Fig. 2, green
thread). Repeat the thread path to reinforce; secure the working thread and
trim. Arrange the remaining horizontal
strip underneath the vertical strip just
placed so the picots point down. Place a
needle on the vertical strips tail thread;
connect the first F of the vertical strip to
2) CLASP BUTTON. Square-stitch a tab

and add pearls for the button side of the
clasp:
Row 1: Start 4' of new conditioned thread
that exits from the bottom hole of the
final vertical strip placed. String 2E; lay
the beads down along the edge of the
strip and pass under the nearest thread
loop along the edge. Pass through the
last E strung. *String 1E: lay the bead
down along the edge of the strip and
pass under the nearest thread loop along
the edge. Pass through the last E strung.
Repeat from * eleven times for a total of
14E (Fig. 3, blue thread).
Row 2: String 1E; pass through the last 1E
of the previous row and through the 1E
just added. *String 1E; pass through the
adjacent E of the previous row and
through the 1E just added in this row.

than against the beads, to maintain
a tight tension and to avoid thread
breakage.

CALLIE MITCHELL
A cool metallic base of right-angle-woven gunmetal beads is

given just the right amount of crystal sparkle in this striking
and glamorous accessory.
TECHNIQUES
right-angle weave
netting
flat peyote stitch
PROJEC T LEVEL
Artists Tips
When stitching the base-end embellishments, keep all the crystals oriented
vertically and the seed beads oriented horizontally. The embellishments
fit together perfectly when this orientation is maintained.
Keep firm, even tension when working the right-angle-weave base. Using
microcrystalline wax on the beading thread is very helpful for maintaining tension.
When adding the embellishments, its helpful to tie a half-hitch knot around
the bracelet base threads occasionally. This helps with tension and helps
guard against chafing, which could break a thread.

3) CLASP BAR. Peyote-stitch the bar

side of the toggle clasp and attach it to
the base:
Strip: Use 3' of waxed thread to peyotestitch a strip 12B wide and 8 rows long.
Zip: Fold the strip so the beads of the first
and last rows interlock. Weave these
beads together to form a seamless tube.
Exit from 1B at one end of the tube.

down through the B on the opposite side
of the same tube end and up through
the next B (Fig. 4, blue thread). String
1A; pass back through the F just added.
String 1A; pass down through the
remaining B on the opposite side of
the tube end. Weave through beads to
exit the other end of the tube (Fig. 4,
red thread). Repeat from the beginning
of this section to embellish the other
tube end.
Connect: Weave through beads to exit 6B
from the end of the tube. String 1B;
pass through the next B of the last row
exited. Repeat the thread path to reinforce, exiting from the B just added
(Fig. 5, blue thread). String 1B and pass
through the top B of the fourth unit at
one end of the bracelet base; then string
1B and pass through the B added in this
section to form a right-angle-weave unit
(Fig. 5, red thread). Repeat the thread
path several times to reinforce. Secure
4) CLASP LOOP. Right-angle-weave and
embellish the loop side of the toggle clasp:

Square: Use 5' of waxed thread and B to
right-angle-weave 2 units, leaving a

1' tail. Exit from a side bead of the second unit. Right-angle-weave 4 units to
form an L shape. Exit from the bottom
bead of the fourth unit just formed and
right-angle-weave 1 more unit to form a
U shape (Fig. 6).
74
Fig. 5: Connecting the toggle bar
Embellish: Repeat Step 1, Row 1, Stitch 2
on each of the units made in this step,

except use C instead of B (Fig. 7). Exit
from the bottom B of the first unit
formed in the square.
Attach: String 1B and pass through the
top B of the second unit at the open end
of the bracelet base; then string 1B and
pass through the last B exited in the
square to form a right-angle-weave unit.
Repeat the embellishment as above on
this new unit. Weave through beads to
exit from the bottom B of the final unit
formed in the square. Repeat this section to attach to the top B of the sixth
unit at the end of the bracelet base
(Fig. 8), and embellish as before.

shimmering fans
CSILLA CSIRMAZ
A handful of herringbone-stitched fans

grace a netted base to form this fluttery,
deco-style earring design.
Artists Tips
For larger earrings, simply increase the
size of the net and add more fans.
For a different look, stitch other shapes,
such as circles and ellipses, to add to the
netted portion of the earring.
Adding more crystals to the edges of the
fans will add more sparkle.
You may substitute 3mm pearls for the
bicones in this design.

7,000 Bracelets for Hope
Jewelry designer Erin Siegel

donated this macram
bracelet to 7,000 Bracelets
for Hope in March 2012.
In November 2010, the

Global Genes Project
began collecting
handmade deniminspired bracelets to
give to families living
with rare diseases. Not
only is the color blue
associated with healing,
but denim jeans are a
clever reference to the
gene defects that cause
nearly 7,000 rare
diseases, most of which have no FDA-approved drug treatments
available. Donations of simple, casual styles that fit a range of
wrist sizes are preferred. For more information on how you can

techniques
These basic instructions are for techniques used in this issues projects and are from The Beaders Companion
(Interweave, 2005). Dont have this popular book? Call (800) 272-2193 or visit interweavestore.com.
PA S S T H R O U G H V S
PA S S B A C K T H R O U G H
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.
BRICK STITCH
Stitch a foundation row in one- or two-needle ladder
stitch. String 2 beads and pass under the closest exposed
loop of the foundation row and back through the second
bead. String 1 bead and pass under the next exposed loop
and back through the bead just strung; repeat.
F I N I S H I N G A N D S TA R T I N G N E W
THREADS
Tie off the old thread when its about 4" long by making an overhand knot around previous threads between
beads. Weave through a few beads to hide the knot and
trim the thread close to the work. Start the new thread by
tying an overhand knot around previous threads between
beads. Weave through several beads to hide the knot and
to reach the place to resume beading.
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.
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.
BACKSTITCH BEAD EMBROIDERY

Tie a knot at the end of the thread. Pass up through the
foundation from back to front. *String 4 beads and lay
them against the foundation. Pass down through the
foundation next to the last bead added. Pass up through
the foundation between the second and third beads just
added, then pass through the third and fourth beads.
Repeat from *.
LADDER STITCH
For one-needle ladder stitch, string 2 beads and pass
through them again. Manipulate the beads so their sides
touch. String 1 bead. Pass through the last stitched bead
and the one just strung. Repeat, adding 1 bead at a time
and working in a figure-eight pattern.
94
For tubular brick stitch, join a ladder-stitched foundation row into a ring by passing through the first and last
beads of the row, with the holes facing up. *String 1 bead
and pass under the closest exposed loop of the foundation
ring. Pass back through the same bead and repeat, adding 1 bead at a time. Finish the round by passing down
through the first bead and up through the last bead
of the current round, then string 2 beads to begin
the next round.
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.
NETTING
String a base row of 13 beads. String 5 beads and pass
back through the fifth bead from the end of the base row.
String another 5 beads, skip 3 beads of the base row, and
pass back through the next; repeat to the end of the row.
To turn, pass back through the last 3 beads (one leg of
the last net). String 5 beads, pass back through the center
bead of the next net, and continue.
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-tolast bead of the previous row. Continue adding 1 bead at a
time, passing over every other bead of the previous row.
Two-drop peyote stitch is worked the same as one-drop

peyote stitch, but with 2 beads at a time instead of 1 bead.
For odd-count flat peyote stitch, string an uneven

number of beads to create Rows 1 and 2. String 1 bead,
skip the last bead strung, and pass through the next bead.
Repeat across the row (this is Row 3). To add the last
bead, string 1 bead and knot the tail and working threads,
clicking all beads into place. Start the next row (Row 4)
by passing back through the last bead added. Continue in
peyote stitch, turning as for even-count, shown above, at
the end of this and all even-numbered rows. At the end of
all odd-numbered rows, add the last bead, string 1 bead,
pass under the thread loop at the edge of the previous
rows, and pass back through the last bead added.
For circular peyote stitch, string 3 beads and knot the tail
and working threads to form the first round; pass through
the first bead strung. For the second round, string 2 beads
and pass through the next bead of the previous round;
repeat twice. To step up to the third round, pass through
the first bead of the current round. For the third round,
string 1 bead and pass through the next bead of the

previous round; repeat around, then step up at the end of

the round. Continue in this manner, alternating the two
previous rounds. It may be necessary to adjust the bead
count, depending on the relative size of the beads, to keep
the circle flat.
the previous row, the last bead exited in the previous unit,
and the 2 beads just strung. Pass through the next top
bead of the previous row, string 2 beads, 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.
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.
STRINGING
Stringing is a technique that uses beading wire, needle
and thread, or other material to gather beads into a
strand.
For even-count tubular peyote stitch, string an even

number of beads and knot the tail and working threads to
form the first 2 rounds; pass through the first 2 beads
strung. To work Round 3, string 1 bead, skip 1 bead, and
pass through the next; repeat around until you have
added half the number of beads in the first round. Step
up through the first bead added in this round. For the
following rounds, work 1 bead in each stitch and continue
to step up at the end of each round.
PICOT
A picot is a decorative net, most often made with 3 beads,
used to embellish a beadwork surface.
S Q UA R E S T I TC H
String a row of beads. For the second row, string 2 beads;
pass through the second-to-last bead of the first row and
through the second bead just strung. Continue by stringing 1 bead, passing through the third-to-last bead of the
first row, and through the bead just strung. Repeat this
looping technique to the end of the row.
For circular square stitch, string the first round of beads

and pass through them again to form a circle. Start a new
round by stringing 2 beads; pass through the last bead of
the first round and through the 2 beads just strung.
Repeat around, passing through the next bead of the
previous round for each 2 new beads strung. At the end
of the round, pass through the whole round again to
tighten the beads. Start a new round by stringing 2 beads;
pass through the last bead of the previous round and
through the 2 beads just strung. String 1 bead and
pass through the next bead of the previous round and the
bead just strung. Repeat around, stitching 1 or 2 beads to
each bead of the previous round, adjusting the count as
necessary to keep the work flat.
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.

For single-needle right-angle weave, string 4 beads and
pass through the first 3 beads again to form the first unit.
For the rest of the row, string 3 beads and pass through
the last bead exited in the previous unit and the first
2 just 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 3 beads and pass through
the last bead exited and the first bead just strung.
*String 2 beads, pass back through the next top bead of

bead artist
by Michelle Mach
Bulgarian husband-and-wife team Vladislav Ivanov and

Kremena Ivanova hand-shape, carve, and paint ceramic beads
and cabochons for their company, Golem Design Studio. Vlad
began working with clay in 1990, while Kremena began in 1994.
Their colorful beads are often inspired by patterns found in both
aancient and contemporary art. A single bead can
take anywhere between six to thirty minutes,
d
depending upon its complexity. Vlad and Kremena began selling to the United
SStates online in 2003, and by 2007 they exhibited in Tucson at their first U.S.
bead show. Most recently, their beads took first and third places in the handmade bead or button category in the 2011 Bead Dreams competitions.
To learn more about them, visit their website at www.golemstudio.com
and see Vlads answers to our questions below.
VLADISLAV IVANOV +
KREMENA IVANOVA
Q: How did you come up with the
name Golem Studio?
A: In 2000, I won third prize in a competition sponsored by the Bulgarian American Enterprise Fund for the Best Young
Developer of the Year. For the final stage
of the competition, I needed to suggest a
business name. I only had a few hours to
brainstorm. I remembered the legend
about the Golem of Prague, an artificial
clay man. What I liked about this story
was the idea that the fate of human creations does not usually lie in the hands of
its creator. In the end, it is about a guy
made of clay, our favorite media.
Q: What were you doing before that?
A: After I finished my MA in pedagogy and fine and applied arts
in 1994, I started work as a
primary-school teacher.
Teaching was far from satisfying for me. My desire
for independence was also
inspired by the traditions
in my family, especially the
96
ones that come from my mothers side.

From what I saw in the family tree, they
were craftsmen for centuriesblacksmiths, carpenters, wood-carvers,
silversmiths. I quit teaching
in 2000. Kremena quit her
teaching career in 2001.
Q: Were there any difficulties making that
transition?
A: The most difficult
part was the lack
of access to quality supplies, tools, and books. It was just
after the fall of the communist reign in
Bulgaria. But there is always something
good in the bad. Many of the tools and
techniques I developed during that time
are still working.
Q: Whats your studio like?
A: Until 2002, our studio was split
between the basement and dining room.
With the competition prize and bank
W
loans, we built a real studio
lo
aattached to the house. Its
aabout 320 square feet with
aan attached smaller kiln
room to fire beads.
Q: I understand you enjoy traveling.

How have your travels inspired your
bead designs?
A: Probably the most inspiring place that
we ever visited was the town of Barcelona, Spain. Its a real heaven
for any artist, especially
ceramic artists. Our visit
there inspired a whole category
of new pendants. Our most
recent inspirational trip was to
Istanbul in October 2011. In an
antiques store, we found a few
used wood-carved textile stamps
from Afghanistan or maybe Pakistan. The simple beauty of the flowers
and foliage inspired our Paisley and
Flower Textile Patterns design lines.
Q: Speaking of world travel, you
mentioned earlier that your mission
is to change the world. How are you
planning to do that?
A: Isnt it true that anything that makes
somebody smile is making a difference?
Its a microscopic difference, but the world
is a bit better after each smile. Thats the
main reason why you can see all those
bright, colorful, whimsical patterns and
funny little creatures in our work. Each of
our pieces is 100 percent handmade with
love. We hope that our beads carry that
message to those who use them.
