The BeadSmith flip-top box is outstanding for the storage of seed beads. It is very
easy to open and close the box with its flip mechanism. It can also be used for larger
beads as you can also just remove the entire top. Identifying different colored beads
is a breeze due to the transparent plastic case. The boxes are stackable due to
their standard widths and depths (currently available on the market in seven sizes)
and lend themselves well to marking with adhesive labels due to their smooth and
relatively large side panels. Seen in many places – ask your local bead shop.
Well placed
A magnetic board with positionable magnetic strips is very useful for counting the rows
and colors of counted charts (e.g., peyote and crochet patterns). You don’t lose your
place in the line while reading it. It works as follows: A pattern printed on paper is fixed
onto the board. A long magnetic clamping strip is placed underneath the row you want
to work. You pick up the beads in the order indicated. To work the next row, just slide the
bar one further. You repeat the same procedure until you reach the end of the pattern.
Since the magnetic line remains in the same place, it is also easy to set aside and work
at a later time. Size ca. 20 x 29.5 cm (ca. 8” x 11.5”). Available at

Plan and Play

Catharina is special:
Exceptionally gifted and highly sensitive.

Lives with a special challenge
“Neytiri's”, 2015: The designer designed the neck-

lace after seeing the film "Avatar", where blos-
soms open and close when touched. The beaded
strands have wire inside, so they can be shaped as
desired. The piece achieved first place in the seed
bead contest of FMG in the category "Bib and col-
lar style" 2016.

rom this combination she has created
something wonderful. Let’s start by
saying that she is an “HSP”, as scien-
tists put it, a Highly Sensitive Person.
She speaks openly about it. It doesn’t
mean that someone is ill, but has a
particularly sensitive nervous system
that perceives subtleties in the sur-
roundings quickly and with a wealth of
nuances, processing complex information that one feels
more intensively and in which impressions long resonate.
It is the opposite of being a “thick-skinned person” – even
if they would like it sometimes, because life with its many
“disturbances” (stimulus flooding) is often too strenuous.
By the way, scientists estimate that 15–20 % of the popu-
lation is highly sensitive, but try to ignore it. For about 10
years, she has also suffered from an intolerance to light, k

“Seduction”, 2015: In the neck portion (collar) of the jewelry

ensemble, miniatures of paintings showing people involved
in the game of seduction are inserted behind the square
Swarovski crystals. The front centerpiece shows Sir Frank
Dicksee’s “La Belle Dame sans Merci” (The Beautiful Lady
without Mercy). The dragon figures are held by heart-
shaped chain links. Their burning breaths represent the
“soul on fire”. In the lower portion we find a real perfume
bottle. Necklace and collar portions can be worn separate-
ly, the latter is reversible. The composition was a finalist in
the seed bead contest of FMG 2016.

“Atoll”, 2006: “With this design, my

obsession with beads began. For two
years I carried the idea with me, but
I knew so little about working with
beads, nothing about the materials
used, yet once I get something in my
head ... it’s inspired by a photograph of
Yann Arthus Bertrand, ‘The Eye of the
Maldives’. It was among the finalists of
the 2007 FMG beading contest.”

“Roma”, also known as “Peeking Pearls”, 2005: “The set is inspired by ancient
Roman open metal necklaces, the Torques. I wanted to create a bent peyote tube,
which would consist of the same seed beads in its entire length. It won the
Grand Gold Prize of the 2006 FMG bead contest.”

patients could learn, among other crafts, painting, knitting, sewing,
beading and cross-stitching. I was friends with her daughter, Lisette,
and was often at her house. This togetherness sparked the fire of cre-
ativity in me. In my youth, I lived through a difficult time in which my
mother lost her fight against cancer, and I, my interest in handicrafts. k Continued on page 17

“The Leaf”, 2016: “This necklace was designed for the

IBA 2016 competition, which had the motto ‘From
Cubism to Art Deco’. I had the idea to create a design
with many Trapezinos (Editor's Note: folded bezels
for crystals, created by the artist), as they drop a lot of
light onto crystals. I noticed that a leaf shape had been
formed between the connections of their points.”

“Souls”, 2013: “This piece with the lifelike

vines was created for the BOTB competition
and is an allegory on the course a life takes.
It is studded with crystals and contains the
colors of the Chakras. This piece is very
important to me.”

Was paid “in beads” at her request
“Tribute to Jane Goodall”, 2016: “This is a sculpture or a

toy with 2 figurines – one up, one down – in petals, that
can be worn as a pendant; either Jane shows herself in
a colorful dress – her head is century-old porcelain – or
a great ape, sitting in green grasses. All the petals are
flexible enough to be opened or closed. I designed this
particular piece as a fundraiser for the Jane Goodall
Institute to support their actions promoting awareness
of nature conservation.”
Later, I got married. My mother-in-law also loved

handicrafts, which encouraged me to embroider.
When I saw a winner’s beaded jewelry set on the
Internet (Fire Mountain Gems 2004 contest) by the
designer Diane Dennis, as well as the finalists of
that year’s Bead Dreams competition, I left em-
broidery behind. Deeply touched, I realized what
beauties, what jewels could be conjured out of
beads. At that time, Swarovski Bicones were in
vogue; but, through my sensitivity, they seemed
to be too glittery, too sharp-edged. Here, however,
they had been joined together with seed beads to
form beautiful landscapes, corals and other or-
ganic structures. It was “painting with pixels” in
3-D – something I also wanted to do! I began with 17
the creation of a dream necklace in navy blue and
sand tones, but couldn’t afford the supplies to
bring it to fruition. Then I got the opportunity to
help with the preparation of a dissertation and was
paid, at my request, in beads! The time had come:
my dream necklace “Atoll” became a reality – the
beginning of the journey of discovery led by my
inner voice. Another of my first pieces is “Roma”.
Although I have learned all the techniques, my fa-
vorite technique is peyote: with this stitch, beads
fall very naturally into their places and pieces can
be easily zipped together. Here I can live out my
experimental spirit, for instance, my joy of folding
and bending. For example, I love shapes with an
even number of increases, as they can be fold-
ed and zipped well. Thus, from a folded-togeth-
er quadrangle you get a kind of triangular wing,
a trapezoid from a hexagon. A beaded piece with

“Mokuren”, 2011: “The asymmetric necklace

was awarded second place in the Bead Mavens
competition with the motto ‘Vernal Visions’. The title
is the Japanese term for magnolias. Fresh blossoms
are featured, appearing on still bare branches. The
two front elements (bezeled crystals) can be moved,
which allows a fine adjustment of the necklace.”

“I often use playful tactics

to create something.
For example, I’ll use a set numbers
of beads repetitively to see
which forms arise from them.”

founded the Facebook group “From Petal to Pod” – a
result of my love of nature. It offers all my friends a
platform where they can display the objects they have
achieved using the aforementioned technique, such as
flowers, leaves and much more. In my small PDF book-
let, I ask people to make a donation to a nature-preserving
organization, if they should make money using this tech-
nique.” This is the heart of the artist: it is her deep desire to
give something useful to the world. How can you do this when
you have to spend most of your time indoors? Cath has found
ways. Her pendant “Tribute to Jane Goodall” was created to
be a fundraiser for the Jane Goodall Institute for the protec-
tion of wild animals. Cath also participates in collaborative “Kanagawa Wave Cuff”, 2013: “This bracelet appeared in the
projects (beaded objects) for good causes, such as a memo- ‘Contemporary Geometric Beadwork’ book by Kate McKinnon, and
is inspired by the polychrome woodblock print by Japanese artist

International Bead Award 2018
My Paradise
This term has a different meaning for everyone. What does paradise mean to
you? Do you already have it; are you wishing and/or waiting for it? The motto for the
International Bead Award 2018 is: “My Paradise”. This gives you the opportunity to
play around with your idea of paradise – and have plenty of time and ease to do it. All
sorts of materials and techniques may be used as long as glass beads play the main
role – and that means using the hole/thread channel as such, so please don’t just
glue beads onto something!
Eligible are jewelry and accessories as well as objects (such as room decora-
tions), but only those that have never been published elsewhere. In a few sentences,
please explain what idea/concept|inspiration led you to design the piece.
In addition to neat workmanship, it’s all about imagination and originality – the
latter are heavily weighted in the judging. Therefore, non-professionals also have
a good chance of being among the 25 nominees or 10 winners! There is also the
Readers’ Choice Award.
Submissions can be made on the Perlen Poesie website under the menu item
„IBA “IBA 2018” beginning on September 1, 2018.
Submission deadline is October 31, 2018.
88
The winners will be named and receive gifts from participating company spon-
sors. The members of the jury will be announced soon.
In closing: The pleasure of participation is the main focus – not everyone can be a
winner! In addition to the design and idea, the tastes of the individual jury members
play a major role. And in the final round, there are often only minimal differences in
the scores, so luck plays a role here, too, when it comes to which place one receives.
Ultimately, anyone who participates and creates his or her completely individual
paradise, no matter its size, is a winner.
We wish you lots of fun in your search for paradise – and look forward to what you
share with us.
