Inspired by the Mandarin garnet gemstone, the romance
of the new Tangerine color recalls a beautiful sunset and
provides a vibrant addition to the Swarovski crystal color
palette. Tangerine is joined by Crystal Iridescent Green, a
mysterious metallic blue-green dual-tone effect that suits
both traditional and modern designs, and Crystal Iridescent
Green Pearl, which brings a shimmering spirited vibe to
opulent vintage styles in jewelry and fashion accessories
with its unique gold-green semi-matt pearl coating.

What does your bead tray look like this summer? Is it full of
quick-and-easy projects or one thing that will keep you busy
until the leaves start to fall? For me, its a mix of both. At home,
I love making fast projects since the long days seldom leave
much time for beading. But for vacation time, a long project
with only one set of materials to pack is a must.
No matter how much time you save for beading this sum-
mer, our selection of projects runs the gamut from simple to satisfyingly complex.
Laura Luepkes Dancing Cabs Necklace (page 54) has the best of both worlds: Make
just the inventive necklace straps with two-hole bricks and fire-polished rounds, or
invest a little more time and create the stunning bead-embroidered pendant as well.
With just six rows of basic netting, a project couldnt get any faster than Cheryl
Ericksons Seurat Bracelet (page 74), featuring a painterly blend of soft matte peanut
beads. And, of course, theres another interesting new bead shape to play around
withbi-bo beads, featured in Christina Neits Clematis Necklace (page 32).
This summer Ill also head back to the video
studio for our brand-new Beadwork Magazine
Project Workshop series. In the debut of this video
series, I show you step by step how to make our
summery cover project, Narcis Pendant (page 46),
designed by contributor Rachel Sim. Visit

I love the color tur-
quoise, and my
favorite size is 11.
Svetlana Chernitsky
My favorite color and
size is Miyuki dura-
coat galvanized
champagne size 11.
It is the best color for
combining with other
colors. Moreover, its
suitable for every style
of jewelry: elegant,
modern, ethnic,
sporty, and others.
If you havent used this
bead before, try it!
Youll love the result.
Svetlana Einy
All purples and all
sizes. If I have to
choose only one,
though, it would be
light purple (lilac) me-
tallic size 11. I usually
work with deep jewel-
tone palettes, and
purples work in great.
Of course, purple is
the color of royalty,
so it fits me well in
that respect!
Cheryl Erickson
I love, love, love metal
colors. I enjoy creating
the look of fine jewelry
and find this is easily
accomplished with
metal colors. My
favorite by far is per-
manent finish gold.
I need my favorite
color in all sizes, but
my favorite size,
because of constant
use, is size 11.
Stephanie Gof f
I love all things topaz
and am especially
partial to transparent
topaz with a metallic
or color lining. As for
size, my hands-down
favorite is the ever-
popular 11 seed bead.
This versatile size
works beautifully
with delicately f lexi-
ble beaded pieces as
well as with more
structured ones.
Reem Iversen
What I enjoy most
about seed beads is
combining different
varieties, so it was dif-
ficult to identify my
top ten, let alone my
all-time favorite.
However, I definitely
have a soft spot for
size 15 hematite-fin-
ish seed beads. I love
the dark, edgy glow
they lend a piece.
Laura Luepke
My favorite seed bead
color is matte opaque
variegated turquoise.
I really like the soft-
ness of a matte bead
and am a sucker for
anything the color of
turquoise. As for size,
I enjoy using a bigger
seed beadsize 8.
Sara Oehler
My go-to color has to
be matte metallic
khaki (Miyuki 2035).
I love earth tones, and
this bead has a subtle
mixture of colors from
aqua greens to olive
browns. This color is
most beautiful in
1.8mm cubes!
Carole Ohl
My favorite bead
color is any shade of
blue from the ocean. I
am always drawn to
the beach-glass tones.
My favorite size seed
bead is 11. The versa-
tility of this little
bead is amazing. It is
almost always a part
of every project Im
working on.
Carmella Patzlaf f
One of my favorite
colors is silver-lined
crystal because it adds
zing. I discovered this
with a commission of
beadwoven netted
collars for twins grad-
uating from Ukrainian
school. Their mother
wanted white pearl
collarsbut with
sparkleso I used
silver-lined crystal
seed beads at the
mesh points.
Maria Rypan
Gold is the most tanta-
lizing and alluring
color for me. Gold is
eternal and divine,
evoking ancient trea-
sures, adventurous
discoveries, and for-
gotten civilizations.
Gold lets me create an
opulent look for my
jewelry even if my
gold is made from
size 15 glass beads
rather than Klondike
nuggets.

BEADINGCHALLENGE
2. Jennifer VanBenschoten (BEADING DAILY EDITOR)
The Lunasoft cabochons really got my attention, and I dived into my
own stash of soutache cord for some creamy colors to accent the rich
browns of the cords in the kit. I was feeling intimidated by the idea of
creating something with soutache, and I nearly chickened out! Since
I love working with cabochons, using them in my first soutache project
eased things for me. I kept the whole piece simple so soutache
shapes would take center stage.
What happens when you give an editor
and three lucky readers matching sets
of materials to play with? We work with
products we might not have considered
using, and our creative sides get stretched
one more notch.
1. Kate Benson (READER PARTICIPANT)
I have never worked with soutache before, and I dont normally work
with these colors; it was fun experimenting with different designs.
My mother-in-law gave me the ammonite piece a couple of years ago,
and Ive never been able to do anything with it. When this kit arrived,
I perused the colors and realized the ammonite had finally
found its home.

FOUR DESIGNERS, ONE STASH

3. Eileen Erinoff (READER PARTICIPANT)
Im new to working with soutache, so this project was a challenge
in multiple ways. The colors in the kit complemented a set of Lynne
Ann Schwarzenbergs polymer clay cabochons Id been hoarding for
the right project. I added cream soutache for contrast and jade beads
to bring out the greens in the cabochons. The embroidery around
the moonglow cabochons was inspired by the seed beads in the
bead soup.
4. Mary Kearney (READER PARTICIPANT)
When I opened the kit, I thought it needed a pop of color, so I decided
to add some turquoise beads, a flat round, and some size 6 and 11
seed beads. This is only my second soutache piece, so I combined
it with a technique Im more comfortable with: bead embroidery.
I backed the soutache with a larger piece of beading foundation
to give me room to embroider the middle.
THE RULES: We use our favorites from the
materials provided and, where necessary,
round out projects with our own supplies.
THE STASH: This coffee-hued kit featured an extra challenge for our participants: soutache
ribbon. In addition, the kit included butterscotch-colored cabochons, a nuts-and-spices seed
bead mix, warm brass findings, espresso-colored Ultrasuede, and white beading foundation.

I love the look of cubic right-angle weave (CRAW). Its boxy
shape belies the round beads that form it, and the results
are more architectural and graphic than many other beading
stitches can muster.
That said, I have to admit, I dont actually like to do the stitch.
It feels cumbersome to me and is thread-heavy. While I was
chatting with Beadworks editor, Melinda Barta, about this
recently, she suggested this little trick for faux CRAW, and
I just cant help sharing it with you!
Faux CRAW Jean Campbell
stitch pro
TECHNIQUES YOU CAN'T BEAD WITHOUT
Rows 13: Use 3'of thread to form a strip of
right-angle weave 3rows wide and to your
desired length. Exit from the final top bead
of the last unit (Fig.1). Note: In my sample, I
used A (blue size 11 seed beads) for the
sides of each right-angle-weave unit and B
(gold size 11 seed beads) for the tops and
bottoms; this helped me define the CRAW
later. Its not necessary, but when youre
doing this for the first time, it might help.
Row 4, Unit 1: Fold the strip so that Rows1
and 3touch. String 1A; pass through
Row1s mirror B from the last B exited in
Row3. String 1A; pass through the original
Fig.1: Forming the right-angle-weave strip Fig.2: Stitching Row4 to form a tube
Try This!
You can form a subsequent row of
faux CRAW by working a 2-row strip
off of the last row of faux CRAW, then
forming a third row, connecting it to
the other side of the original faux
CRAW row, much like you did in
Row4. Then, when your row is done,
go back in and square up the side
units as before.
B exited in Row3, the first A just added, the
next B, the second A just added, and the
next A along the edge of Row3 (Fig.2,
green thread).
Row 4, Unit 2: String 1A; pass back through
the next B along the edge of Row1,
through the side A of the previous unit in
this row, the original B exited, the A just
added, and the following B along the edge
of Row1 (Fig.2, blue thread).
Row 4, Units 3 and on: Repeat Row4,
Units1 and 2, to the end of the row to turn
the strip into a tube. Exit from the final A
added (Fig.2, red thread).

Fig.3: Squaring up the beadwork
Squaring up: Looking at the tube from its
end, pass through the 4A that form the end
unit and pull tight to square upthe tube.
Weave through the next B along the top
edge of the tube and into the next A, then
pass through those 4adjacent A and pull
tight. Continue to square up the tube in this
way, forming the faux CRAW (Fig.3; birds
eye and 3-D views).

artists tips
When securing threads of the beaded
beads, pass through rings of D/E to
tighten them.
Use an awl or tapestry needle to
encourage all A/B to pop out evenly
just outside the rings of D/E.
Use fairly tight tension while
stitching the beaded beads.
Reinforce the less firm areas of the
beaded beads while you secure the thread.
For a necklace, make longer seed
bead strands.

4) BEADED BEADS 6 AND 7. Repeat
Step 3 twice using E for D and B for A.
5) CLASP LOOP. Use 12" of thread to repeat
Step 1, Round1, forming a ring. Dont trim the

6) CLASP BAR. Square-stitch the bar half of
the clasp:
Rows14: Use 2' of thread to square-stitch a
strip 12A wide and 4 rows long.
Tube: Fold the strip so Rows1 and 4 touch.
Square-stitch the A of Row4 to the A
of Row1, forming a tube (Fig.8,
blue thread).
Ends: Pass through the tube. String 1A and
pass back through the tube, then string 1A
and pass through the tube (Fig.8, red
thread); repeat the thread path to reinforce.
Secure the thread and trim. Set the clasp
bar aside.

When LAURA ANDREWS was a child, her
mother, a very talented artist, taught her beading
while sharing the importance of originality.
Training in art, color, theatrical costuming,
lampworking, metalworking, wireworking, and
communication led Laura to teaching. Travels,
teaching, and friends from around the globe
provide her inspiration. Laura teaches at many
bead societies, shows, and shops throughout the
United States, United Kingdom, and Germany.

WHAT ARE BI-BO BEADS?
SIMILAR TO SUPERDUOS AND
TWINS IN GENERAL SHAPE AND
SIZE, THESE NEW TWO-HOLE SEED
BEADS ARE SLIGHTLY PINCHED IN
THE CENTER AND DO NOT TAPER
NEAR THE HOLES.

1) CHAIN COMPONENTS. Combine fringe
and netting to form the necklace chain
components:
Round1: Use 3' of thread to string 4G,
leaving a 6" tail; use the working and tail
threads to tie a knot, forming a tight circle,
then pass through the first G strung
Round2: String 5B, pass through the second
B just added, then string 1B, and pass
through the next G of Round1 to form a
fringe; repeat three times. Pass through the
first 2B of the first fringe in this round
(Fig.1, red thread). Note: Be sure that you
are passing through, not passing back
through that second B of each thread to
form a loop; the orientation of this bead is
important for subsequent rounds.
Round3: String 1C; pass through the B at the
tip of the fringe, then pass back through the
C just added and through the first B exited
(Fig.2, green thread). String 1A, 1B, 1F, 3B,
the second hole of the F just added, 1B, and
1A; pass through the second B of the next
Combine fringe and netting with the new two-hole bi-bo beads
to form a component-driven design that lends itself to a lot of
possibilities.

artists tips
For an especially sparkly
component, substitute 3mm crystal
rounds for the D in Round4.
To form a bracelet, simply form
a chain of components with a clasp
at each end.
If youd rather, you can form a seed
bead loop instead of using a jump
ring to attach the clasp.
Superduos, Twins, or rullas can
easily be substituted for bi-bo beads.

2) PENDANT COMPONENT. Stitch the
center component of the necklace:
Rounds1 and 2: Repeat Step 1, Rounds1
and 2.
Round3: String 1C; pass through the B at the
C just added and through the first B exited.
String 1A, 1B, 1F, 3B, the second hole of the
F just added, 1B, and 1A; pass through the
second B of the next fringe in Round2.

C just added and through the nearest B
exited. String 1A, 1B, 1F, 1B, 1D, the ceramic
bicone, 1D, and 3B; pass back through the
1D/bicone/1D just added. String 1B, the
second hole of the last F strung, 1B, and 1A;
pass through the second B of the next
fringe in Round2 (Fig.5). Weave through
beads to exit from 1G of Round1.
Rounds4 and 5: Repeat Step 1, Rounds4
and 5. Secure the thread and trim. Set aside.
3) LINK. Connect the links with seed beads,
drops, and a bi-bo bead:
Stitch 1: Use the working thread of 1 chain
component and string 1B, 1F, and 1B; pass
through the tip B of a fringe in Round2 of
another chain component. String 1B; pass
through the second hole of the last F
added. String 1B; pass through the last B
exited on the first chain component and
the first B added in this stitch (Fig.6,
blue thread).

Stitch 2: String 1B, 1E, and 1B; skip 1F and
pass through the second B of Stitch 1, the
last B exited in the second chain compo-
nent, and the third B of Stitch 1. String 1B,
1E, and 1B; skip 1F and pass through the
fourth B of Stitch 1 and the first B exited in
the first chain component (Fig.6, red
thread). Secure the thread of the first com-
ponent and trim; do not trim the working
thread of the second component.
Repeat Stitches 1 and 2 six times to form
1 chain that is 8 components long; repeat
for a second chain.

connect the other chain to the top-right
corner of the pendant component, taking
care that the bicone is at the bottom and
that the embellished sides of all of the
components are faceup (Fig.7).

4) CLASP. Attach 1 jump ring to the box half
of the clasp. Use 1 jump ring to attach the pre-
vious jump ring to the tip B of the fringe on
one end of the necklace. Use 1 jump ring to
attach the hook half of the clasp to the tip B
of the fringe on one end of the necklace
(Fig.8).

1) BASE. Use a variation of right-angle weave
and ladder stitch to form the bracelet base:
Segment1, Round1: Add a stop bead to
6' of thread, leaving an 8" tail. String {5A
and 1D} four times; pass through the beads
twice to reinforce; then pass through
the second hole of the last D (Fig.1,
green thread).
Segment1, Round2: String 1A and pass
through the second hole of the nearest D
in Round1; repeat three times, pulling
tightly so the D come together at the
center of the circle, then pass through the
first A of this round (Fig.1, blue thread).
Segment1, Center: String 1C; pass through
the opposite A of Round2, back through
the C just added, and through the first A
exited. Weave through beads to exit
from the nearest 5A of Round1 (Fig.1,
red thread).
Segment2, Round1: String 5A; pass
through the last 5A exited and the 5A just
added (Fig.2, purple thread). String {1D
and 5A} three times. String 1D; pass through
the first 5A of this round, the nearest D, and
the second hole of the same D (Fig.2,
green thread).
Segment2, Round2: String 1A and pass
through the second hole of the nearest D in
Segment2, Round1; repeat three times,
then pass through the first A of this round
Segment2, Center: String 1C; pass through
the opposite A of Round2 in this segment,
back through the C just added, and through
the first A exited. Weave through beads to
exit from the end 5A of Segment2,
Round1, opposite from Segment1 (Fig.2,
red thread).
Segments311: Repeat Segment2 nine
times. Note: To ensure that all of the C lay in
the same direction on each base segment,
make sure to exit the A of Round2 thats
closest to the previous component before
stitching the center.
2) EDGES. Add seed beads and fire-polished
rounds to the edges of the bracelet:
Pass 1: String 2C and pass through the next
5A along the edge of the base; repeat
twenty-three times, adding 2D sets to the
entire perimeter of the base. Exit from the
first 2D of this pass (Fig.3, blue thread).
Pass 2: String 5B and pass through the next
2C of Pass 1; repeat twenty-three times, but
substitute 5A for 5B at each end of the
bracelet. Pass through the first B of this pass,
pass under the thread between beads to
reverse the thread path, and pass back
through the 1A/2C along the bracelets
edge and the 5A at the nearest end of the
bracelet (Fig.3, red thread).
3) CLASP. Securely sew one half of the clasp
to the 5B at the end of the bracelet (Fig.4).
Add a needle to the tail thread and sew the
other clasp half to the 5A at the other end.
Secure the threads and trim.

If you need a little more length,
ladder-stitch another set of 5B to
each end of the bracelet before
adding your clasp.
A two-strand clasp is perfect for
this design, but you can use a single
strand. Just make sure to weave
down into the bracelet base to
secure your clasp.
Use 3mm crystals in the center
of the bricks to add a little sparkle.

cascading swags suspended between
pillars of midsized contrast beads.

For a longer or shorter band, see chart at
left for start placement.
Row1: String 10A and 1B; skip 3B along the
edge of the band and pass through the
fourth B (Fig.3, green thread). String 2B;
pass up through the 1B added after the
10A, the last B exited on the band, and the
first B just added to form a right-angle-
weave unit (Fig.3, blue thread). Repeat
from the beginning of this row eleven
times. String 10A; skip 3B along the edge of
the band and pass through the fourth B to
form the thirteenth swag. Weave through
beads to exit from the bottom B of the last
right-angle-weave unit added, toward the

1) SET UP. Prepare the loom:
Cords: Set the loom to its smallest setting.
With medium tension, wrap 32" of cord
around the loom from top to bottom , over-
lap the cord ends with 2 cord holes aligned,
push 1 loom peg into the aligned holes of
both cord ends to form a loop around the
loom, then slide the looped cord so the peg
is at the top of the loom and out of the way;
repeat. Slide the cord loops toward the
edges of the loom so there is a cord on the
left and one on the right.
Crossbars: Evenly slide 1crossbar through a
hole at the top of the right cord, then slide it
through a hole in the left cord so the cross-
bar sits parallel to the top of the loom.
Repeat this to add a bar just above the bot-
tom of the loom. Note: For this project, the
bottom bar was 15 cord holes down from
the top bar to make the working area 7".
S-hooks: Slide 5 S-hooks on each crossbar
with the opening facing you.
2) FORM THE WARP. Add a bead stop
about 2" from the end of the beading wire.
Pass the wire through the first S-hook on the
top of the loom until the bead stop catches on
the hook. Pass the wire through the mirror
hook on the bottom of the loom, then
through the next hook at the top of the loom.
Continue weaving back and forth between
the S-hooks, using medium tension, to form
the warp. Add another bead stop to the other
end of the cord to hold the wire in place.
Use the loom screws to tighten the
tension (Fig.1).
3) WEAVE. Work the bracelet body:
Prepare: Use a bead stop to clip the end of 5'
of thread to the loom, near the bottom
crossbar. Place a needle on the other end
of the thread.
Row 1: String 8 beads; pass under the warp
wires and pop 1 bead between each wire
(Fig.2, blue thread). Hold the beads in
place as you pass back through each bead,
this time over the top of the warp wires
(Fig.2, red thread). Slide the beads down
so they sit tightly against the bottom
S-hooks. To prepare for the next row, wrap
around the nearest warp, pass through the
first bead added in this row, loop around
the next warp, and exit underneath the
wires (Fig.3).
Row 2: Repeat Row1, this time adding
6 beads. Note: Youll need to pass the nee-
dle between wires to the front of the work
on this and other short rows to avoid
cinched ends and exposed wire.

artists tips
To end a thread, weave through
the beadwork, knot several times
around a warp wire, and trim. Start
a new thread by weaving through
the beadwork, knotting several
times around a warp wire, and
weaving through beads to the last
place exited.
Use the same color of thread that
you use for the warp wires. This
helps mask the stitches.

on top of the warp wires. Tighten the beads
against the previous row. To prepare for the
next row, loop around warp2, exiting on
top of the wire (Fig.5, purple thread).
Row 7: String 1 bead; hold the bead in place
between warp1 and warp2 and pass back
through the bead underneath the warp
wires. String 7beads; hold the beads in
place between the warp wires and pass
back through all 8beads added in this
row, on top of the wires. Tighten the
beads against the previous row
Row 8: Repeat Row1 (Fig.5, red thread).
Rows 948: Repeat Rows18 five times.
Remove: Release the loom tension and
remove the beadwork from the S-hooks.
Remove all bead stops, then adjust
the beads to fit more evenly over the
warp wires.
4) ADD THE CLASP. Pass one 5" piece of
beading wire through the 8 beads at the end
of the beadwork and slide the beadwork to
the center of the wire. Using both the new
wire and the remaining warp wire, string
6 beads and 1 crimp tube. Use one of the
Row 3: Repeat Row1, this time adding
4beads.
Row 4: String 2beads; pass under the warp
wires and pop 1bead between each wire.
Hold the beads in place as you pass back
through each bead, this time over the top
of the warps. Tighten the beads against the
previous row. To prepare for the next row,
loop around warp4, exiting on the top of
the wire (Fig.4, orange thread).

1) PETALS. Work cubic right-angle weave to
form an open petal shape, then embellish
the edges:
Side1, Cube1, bottom: Use 4' of thread
and the size 10 needle to string 4A, leaving
a 2" tail; tie the working and tail threads
together to form a tight circle and pass
through the first 2A (Fig.1, black thread).
Note: Switch to the size 12 needle if you
ever have trouble fitting the needle
through beads.
Side1, Cube1, Face1: String 3A; pass
through the last A exited and the first A just
added (Fig.1, purple thread).
Side1, Cube1, Face2: String 2A; pass back
through the next 1A of the cube bottom,
the last 1A exited in Face1, the 2A just
added, and the following 1A of the cube
bottom (Fig.1, orange thread).
Side1, Cube1, Face3: String 2A; pass
through the last 1A exited in Face2, the last
1A exited in the cube bottom, and the first
1A just added (Fig.1, green thread).
Side1, Cube1, Face4: String 1A; pass down
through the nearest 1A of Face1, back
through the next 1A of the cube bottom,
the nearest 1A of Face3, and the 1A just
added (Fig.1, blue thread).
Side1, Cube1, top: Pass through the 4A at
the top of this cube (Fig.1, red thread).
Side1, Cubes28: Repeat Side1, Cube1,
Faces14 and top, seven times. Exit from
the 1A added in Face4.
Side2, Cubes15: Working off of one side of
Cube8, repeat Side1, Cube1, Faces14
and top, five times to form an L shape
(Fig.2).
Connect: Making sure Sides1 and 2 arent
twisted, hold the beadwork so that the top
of Side2, Cube5 touches the nearest face of
Side1, Cube1. Repeat Side1, Cube1,
Faces24, this time using the correspond-
ing A of Side1, Cube1 as the top beads of
each new face. Weave through beads to exit
from an A along the top outside edge of the
petal, second from the point cube (Fig.3).
Embellish: *String 1B and pass through the
next A along the top outside edge of the
petal; repeat twelve times (Fig.4). Weave
through beads to exit from the bottom out-
side edge of the petal. Repeat from * to
form a mirror embellishment on the bot-
tom of the petal. Note: Pull the thread
tightly as you embellish the other side of
the petal so that the beadwork straightens
(it will cup when you stitch the top side).
Secure the threads and trim. Set the petal
aside.
Repeat this entire step five times for a total of
6 petals (Petals 16), except on the last petal,
use 6' of thread, leave an 8" tail, and dont
trim the threads.
2) ASSEMBLY. Stitch the petals together and
form the flower center:
Join petals (center back): Use the working
thread of Petal 6 to string 1C; pass through
the mirror A of another petal. String 1A;
pass through the original A exited on
Petal 6 and the C just added. Weave
through beads to exit from the same point
originally exited on Petal 6, but on the petal
just added (Fig.5, blue thread). Continue
adding petals this way (Fig.5, red thread)
until all 6 petals are connected. Weave
through beads to exit from the inner hole
of 1C added in this section.

artists tip
When you add the bicones, be very careful
not to tear the thread. It helps if you pull
the thread straight through the beads
rather than at an angle.

artists tip
To avoid wasting thread, leave only a short tail (1 to 2") at
the beginning of the work. Weave it in by first passing
your needle (without the thread) through a few beads near
the tail; leave the needle in the beads, then thread the
needle and pull. Because youve made a knot in the
beginning of the work, you can now cut the thread.

1) BEZELS. Use backstitch and tubular
peyote stitch to bezel the cabochons:
Prepare: Use the fabric dye or permanent
marker to color the beading foundation; let
dry. Cut the foundation into two 1 1" pieces
and glue 1 cabochon to the center of each
piece, leaving about " space around each
cabochon. Let the glue set for at least
20 minutes. Set aside.
Round1: Tie an overhand knot at the end of
6' of thread. Pass through 1 of the founda-
tion/cabochon assemblies from back to
front, exiting next to the cabochon. String
2C, slide them to the foundation, and lay
them alongside the cabochon. Pass down
through the foundation next to the last
bead added. Pass up through the founda-
tion before the first bead, then pass through
the 2C just added (Fig.1, blue thread).
String 2C, lay them alongside the cabochon,
pass down through the foundation next to
the last bead added, and pass up through
the foundation and the last 3C added;
repeat, working backstitch around the cab-
ochon (Fig.1, red thread). Note: Make sure
to end with an even number of beads in the
ring. Every other C should feel slightly
looser; exit from one of these beads.
Round2: String 1B, skip 1C of the previous
round, and pass through the next C; repeat
around the ring, then step up through the
first B added in this round.
Round3: Work tubular peyote stitch with 1B
in each stitch.
Round4: Work tubular peyote stitch with 1A
in each stitch. Weave through beads to exit
from Round2.
Round5: String 1B and pass through the next
B of Round2; repeat around to stitch in the
ditchwith firm tension. Weave through
beads to exit from Round1, exiting below
1B of Round3 (Fig.2, orange thread).
Round6: String 1C, skip 1C of Round1, and
pass through the next C; repeat around to
stitch in the ditch. Step up through the first
C added in this round (Fig.2, blue thread).
Round7: String 2A and pass through the
next C of Round6; repeat around to form
a raised ring of C and A beads around the
bezel. Weave through beads to exit from
Round1 (Fig.2, red thread).
Backing: Carefully trim the beading founda-
tion close to the beadwork. Glue the
trimmed foundation to the Ultrasuede.
Let dry. Trim the Ultrasuede flush with
the foundation.

artists tips
Instead of knotting the thread to
begin bead embroidery, simply use a
thread burner to melt the end of the
thread. This will create a small nub
that holds the thread in place
without the mess of thread tails.
If you substitute different sizes and
shapes of cabochons, its best to start
joining the bezels at the base or top
of the cab to ensure a symmetrical
design.

from the E just added (Fig.7, orange thread).
String 5B; pass through the last E exited and
the 5B just added (Fig.7, yellow thread).
Square-stitch 1C to each of the 1B just added
(Fig.7, blue thread). Weave through the 5B
added in this step, both holes of the nearest F,
the nearest E, both holes of the next F, and
through the 5B again (Fig.7, red thread).
Reinforce the thread path if necessary to
tighten. Secure the thread and trim. Use the
working thread of the large bezel to repeat
this step on the other side of the bezels.
5) STRAPS. Work 2-needle ladder stitch to
form the necklace straps:
Stitch 1: Place a needle on each end of 6' of
thread. Pass one needle through each of
the holes on the upper-left F at the top of
the pendant. Adjust the thread so an equal
amount exits each hole of the F. Use the left
needle to string 1F; pass the right needle
back through the same hole, then cross
both needles through the open hole of the
same F (Fig.8, purple thread).
Stitch 2: Working with slightly loose tension,
use the left needle to string 2A and 1D, then
use the right needle to string 2A and pass
back through the last D added (Fig.8,
orange thread).
Stitch 3: Use the left needle to string 3A and
1E, then use the right needle to string 3A
and pass back through the last E exited
(Fig.8, pink thread).
1D, then use the right needle to string 3A
and pass back through the last D added
1F, then use the right needle to string 2A
and pass back through the same hole of the
last F added. Cross both needles through
the open hole in the F (Fig.8, red thread).
Repeat Stitches 25 ten times or to the desired
length. Dont trim the thread.
Repeat this entire step, this time starting
a new thread on the upper-right F at the
top of the pendant.
the previous D and the first hole of the F
just added (Fig.5, red thread). Position the
bezel so the 2D just added point down. The
holes of the 2F and the corresponding edge
D are now positions 14 (as labeled on
Fig.5).
Dangle: String 1E; pass up through position 2
and down through position 3 (Fig.6, pur-
ple thread). String 9B; pass up through
position 2, down through position 3, and
through the 9B just added (Fig.6, yellow
thread). Use circular square stitch to add a
row of 13C to the 9B just added, alternating
between adding 1C and 2C to each B. Pass
up through position 4, then weave through
beads to exit down through position 1 and
through the first 6C just added (Fig.6, blue
thread). String 3A, 1F, 2A, the rizo drop, and
2A; pass up through the open hole of the F
just added. String 3A; pass up through the
final 6C added in the dangle, up through
position 4, and down through the next
edge D (Fig.6, red thread).
Whipstitch and right-side base: Repeat
whipstitch and upper-left base in reverse.
Top: Whipstitch 1A over each of the edge D
between the upper-right and -left bases.
3) SMALL BEZEL EMBELLISHMENT.
Working clockwise, repeat Step 2, upper-left
base. Whipstitch 6A. Repeat Step 2, bottom
base. Whipstitch 6A. Repeat Step 2, upper-
right base. Whipstitch 1A over each of the
remaining edge D between the upper-right
and -left bases. Weave through beads to exit
from the second hole of the first F added in
this step.
4) BEZEL JOIN. Position the bezels faceup
and edges touching, with the large bezels
dangle pointing down and the small bezels
bottom pointing up. Use the working thread
of the small bezel to string 1E; pass through
the inside hole, then the outside hole of the F
on the large bezels upper-right base (Fig.7,
purple thread). String 1F, 1E, and 1F; pass
through the mirror hole of the last F exited on
the small bezel. Weave through beads to exit
Bezel edge: Stitch through the foundation
and Ultrasuede to exit near the edge. String
2D, stitch through the foundation and
Ultrasuede, and pass back through the sec-
ond D just added (Fig.3, green thread).
String 1D, stitch through the foundation
and Ultrasuede, and pass back through the
D just added; repeat around to connect the
foundation and Ultrasuede with a brick-
stitch edging, taking care that there are no
gaps between beads (Fig.3, blue thread).
Close the ring by ladder-stitching the first
and last D together (Fig.3, red thread).
Set aside; dont trim the thread.
Repeat this entire step to complete the second
bezel, using the remaining foundation/cabo-
chon assembly.
2) LARGE BEZEL EMBELLISHMENT.
Add bricks that will later serve as bases for
embellishment and add the dangle to the
large bezel:
Note: This step works best with the Ultrasuede
side of the bezel facing up.
Upper-left base: Working counterclockwise,
string 1F; pass down through the open hole
of the F just strung, then down through the
next edge D, and up through the following
D without pulling tight. Loop the thread
under the exposed thread between the
edge D beneath the F (Fig.4, blue thread).
Whipstitch: String 1A and loop the thread
under the exposed thread between the
next 2 edge D to form a whipstitch embel-
lishment (Fig.4, red thread); repeat seven
times to add 8A. Note: Count the number of
D beads edging the large cabochon. If there
are 29 or 30 D, then the 8A just added is cor-
rect; if there are more D, add 9A instead of
8A. Pass down through the D beneath the
final A added and pass up through the next
edge D.
Bottom base: String 1F; pass down through
the open hole of the F just added, down
through the D below it, and up through the
next D (Fig.5, blue thread). String 1F; pass
down through the open hole of the F just
added and the D below it. Pass up through

6) CLASP. Connect the toggle clasp, then
add an edging to the straps:
Ring: Use the working threads of the left strap
to repeat Step 5, Stitches 25. String 3A and
1 loop of the ring half of the clasp, then pass
back through the 3A just added; repeat
with the right needle, attaching to the sec-
ond loop of the clasp. Repeat the thread
path to reinforce (Fig.9, purple thread).
Edge: Use the left needle to string 4A; pass
back through the next 2A on the outside
edge of the strap. Continuing to work
along the edge of the strap, string 1D
and pass back through the next 3A;
repeat. String 1D; pass back through the
next 2A. Embellish the entire left side of
the strap in the same manner (Fig.9,
pink thread). After exiting the final 2A,
string 5A; pass down through the near-
est hole of the nearest base F and the D
below (Fig.9, blue thread). Use the right
needle to embellish the right side of the
strap in the same manner (Fig.9,
red thread). Secure the threads of this
strap and trim.
Bar: Use the left needle of the right strap to
string 10A and 1 loop of the bar half of the
clasp; pass back through the 10A and the
nearest E (Fig.10, yellow thread). Use the
right needle to string 10A; pass through the
second loop of the bar half of the clasp and
back through the 10A just added (Fig.10,
blue thread). Repeat the thread path to
reinforce (Fig.10, red thread).
Repeat the edge embellishment to finish
the right strap.

1) MEDALLION. Use circular square stitch
and netted fringe to form the earrings
medallion:
Round 1: Tie the end of 4' of thread to 1ring,
leaving a 6" tail. String 2E; pass through the
ring back to front and through the second E
just added, leaving the 2E on the outside of
the ring (Fig.1, green thread). String 1E;
pass through the ring back to front and
through the E just added. Continue working
circular square stitch, 1E at a time, around
the ring for a total of 22E or for an even
number of E that fit snugly around the ring
(Fig.1, blue thread). Pass through all the E
added in this round again to reinforce,
exiting from the first E added (Fig.1,
red thread).
Round 2: String 7A, skip 1E of Round1, and
pass through the next E; repeat ten times.
Pass through the next E of Round1, toward
the back of the work (Fig.2).
Round 3: String 5B, pass over the beads of
the next loop, skip 1E of Round1, and pass
through the following E toward the back of
the work; repeat ten times. Manipulate the
new nets so they sit snugly between the
nets of Round2. Step up for the next round
by passing through the first 3B added in this
round (Fig.3).
Round 4: String 7C and pass through the
middle B of the next Round3 net; repeat
ten times. Weave through beads to exit
from the middle A of a Round2 net so that
the thread sits in front of a Round4 net
Round 5: String 5D, pass behind and through
the next Round4 net, and pass through the
middle A and in front of the following
Round2 net (Fig.4, red thread); repeat ten
times. Secure the thread and trim.
2) EAR WIRE. Use chain-nose pliers to con-
nect 1ear wire to 2nets for extra strength.
3) Repeat Steps1 and 2for a second earring.

1) BASE. Use a circular peyote stitch variation
with 2 needles to form linked circular compo-
nents of the bracelet base:
Circle 1, Round1: Place a needle on each
end of 10' of conditioned thread. Use the
top needle to string 1C and slide it to the
center of the thread. Use the top needle to
string 1B, 3C, 1B, 1C, 1B, 3C, and 1B; pass
through the first C of this step. Use the bot-
tom needle to pass back through the same
hole of all the beads in this round (Fig.1,
top thread shown in green, bottom in
blue). Pass the top needle through the sec-
ond (outer) hole of the first C; use the bot-
tom needle to pass back through the outer
hole of the same C (Fig.1, red thread).
Note: The needles will switch top and
bottom positions with each stitch.
Circle 1, Round2: Use the top needle to
string 3B; pass through the outer hole of the
next C. String 1D and pass through the
outer hole of the following C; repeat. String
3B and pass through the next C (Fig.2,
green thread). Use the bottom needle to
repeat from the beginning of this round to
fill in the other side of the circle (Fig.2,
blue thread). Weave each thread through
beads to exit from the first Cs outer hole
Link: Use the top needle to string 1C, then use
the bottom needle to pass back through
the same hole (Fig.3, blue thread); pass
each needle through the outer hole of the
same C (Fig.3, red thread).
Circle 2: Use the top needle to string 1B, 3C,
1B, and 1C (Fig.4, orange thread). Use the
bottom needle to string 1B, 3C, and 1B; pass
back through the same hole of the last C
strung on the top needle and continue
through all the beads to exit from the last C
(Fig.4, green thread). Use the top needle
to pass through the outer hole of the last C;
use the bottom needle to pass back
through the same hole (Fig.4, blue
thread). Repeat Circle 1, Round2, to com-
plete the circle (Fig.4, red thread).
Circles 39: Repeat the link and Circle 2
seven times or to the desired length minus
1" for the clasp. Repeat the link.
2) CLASP LOOP. Use a technique similar
to the one in Step 1 to form the ring half
of the clasp:
Round1: Use the top needle to string 1B, 2C,
1B, 2C, and 1B; repeat using the bottom
needle (Fig.5, orange thread). Use the top
needle to string 1C; use the bottom needle
to pass back through the same hole of the
same C. Use the top needle to pass through
all the beads of this round to reinforce;
repeat using the bottom needle. Use the
top needle to pass through the outer hole
of the last C exited; use the bottom needle
to pass back through the same hole (Fig.5,
green thread).
Round2: Use the top needle to string 3B;
pass through the outer hole of the nearest
C. String 1D and pass through the outer
hole of the next C, then string 2B and pass
through the outer hole of the following C.
String 1D and pass through the outer hole
of the next C, then string 3B and pass
through the outer hole of the next C.
using the bottom needle (Fig.5, blue
thread). Use the top needle to pass
through all the beads again and exit from
the C of the last link to reinforce; repeat
using the bottom needle. Use both needles
to weave through beads to exit from the
inner hole of the nearest C in Circle 9,
toward the center of the circle (Fig.5,
red thread).

Fig.2: Forming Round 2 of Circle 1
Fig.3: Adding the first link

Rows5 and 6: Use each needle to string 2B
(Fig.7, blue thread). Use the top needle to
pass back through the last 2B strung with
the bottom needle and through the last 2B
strung with the top needle; use the bottom
needle to pass back through the last 2B
strung with the top needle and through the
last 2B strung with the bottom needle
Rows712: Repeat Rows5 and 6 three times.
Bar: Use the top needle to string 1C; pass the
bottom needle back through the same hole
of the C just added (Fig.8, orange thread).
*Use the top needle to string 1A, 1C, 1A, 1C,
and 4A; pass through the second hole of
the last C added. String 1A and pass
through the second hole of the next C;
repeat. Repeat from * using the bottom
needle (Fig.8, green thread). Use both
needles to weave through beads to re-
inforce the clasp bar; exit from the middle
3) EMBELLISHMENT. Turn the work over so
the clasp loop is on the left. Use the top nee-
dle to string 1A, 1E, and 1A; pass down
through the nearest hole of the C in the next
link (on the opposite side of Circle 9) (Fig.6,
green thread). Use the bottom needle to
string 1A; pass through the last E added. String
1A; pass up through the nearest hole of the C
in the next link (on the opposite side of Circle 9)
(Fig.6, blue thread). Use both needles to
weave through beads to exit from the inner
hole of the nearest C in the next circle (Fig.6,
red thread). Repeat this step eight times to
embellish each circle of the base, exiting from
the outer hole of the C at the end of the base.
4) CLASP BAR. Use square stitch to form the
bar half of the clasp:
Rows14: Use each needle to string 4B
(Fig.7, purple thread). Use the top needle
to pass back through the last 2B strung on
the bottom needle and through the last 2B
strung with the top needle (Fig.7, orange
thread); use the bottom needle to pass
back through the last 2B strung with
the top needle and through the last 2B
strung with the bottom needle (Fig.7,
green thread).

artists tips
Keep thread tension tight for a neatly
finished look.
Check the two-hole and drop seed
beads before stringing them to make
sure they are consistent in size.
Discard any misshapen beads.
Remember that thread is relatively
inexpensive, so when measuring the
amount you need for your bracelet,
err on the side of having extra thread.
Try your best to measure out enough
to complete the project with one
single length of thread.
OPTION
MAKE TWO OR THREE OF THESE BRACELETS IN THE
SAME OR DIFFERENT COLORS AND WEAR THEM
STACKED TOGETHER.

STEPHANIE MARIE GOFF started beading as
a college student after discovering that the art of
beading is a great stress reliever. She now owns
and operates Beadjoux Bead Store in Braselton,
Georgia, with her mom, Monica Goff. You can

artists tips
Feel free to use either Superduo
or Twin 2-hole seed beads for your
rope; although they are shaped
slightly differently, they both work.
The 4mm crystal rounds near the
clasp can be substituted with more
affordable 4mm pearl rounds since
they will be hidden by the neckline.

Work up this super-easy bracelet using
netting and beautiful shades of peanut
beads to achieve a textured look that
recalls an Impressionist work of art.

artists tips
Working just Rows 1 and 2 makes
a pretty bracelet on its own. If you
choose to do this, use a smaller clasp.
Experiment with other peanut-
bead mixes for a variety of looks.

Use seed beads and tile beads to create a tubular-
herringbone bracelet with colorful, between-column
accents and a very addictive technique.
1) BODY. Work ladder and tubular herring-
bone stitches to form the bracelets body:
Base: Use 6' of conditioned thread to form a
ladder-stitched strip 4F long, leaving a
12" tail (Fig.1). Fold the ladder to form a
rectangle and stitch the first and fourth F
together; exit from one of the rectangles
corners (Fig.2).
Round1: String 2A, pass down through the
second hole of this F and up through the
first hole of the next F; repeat three times.
Step up through the first A added in this
round (Fig.3, shown flat for clarity).
Round2: String 2A, pass down through the
next A from the previous round, down
through the nearest hole from the F
below, and up through the nearest hole
of the next F and the following A of the
previous round; repeat three times. Step
up through the first A added in this round
Round3: String 2A; pass down through the
next A of the previous round. String 1E; pass
up through the following A of the previous
round. String 2A; pass down through the
next A of the previous round. String 1D;
pass up through the following A of the pre-
vious round. Repeat from the beginning of
this round. Step up through the first A
added in this round (Fig.4, blue thread).
Note: Alternate the colors of E throughout
the project as desired.
Round4: String 2A; pass down through the
next A, through the nearest E, and up
through the following A of the previous
round. String 2A; pass down through the
next A, through the nearest D, and up
through the following A of the previous
round. Repeat from the beginning of this
round. Step up through the first A added in
this round (Fig.4, red thread).
Round5: Repeat Round3, adding 2B
between herringbone-stitched columns
over the E of Round3 (the wide sides of
the rope) and 1B between the columns
over the D (the narrow sides) (Fig.5,
purple thread).
Round6: Repeat Round3, adding 2C
between columns on the wide sides and 1C
between columns on the narrow sides
(Fig.5, yellow thread).
Round7: Repeat Round3, adding 2B
between columns on the wide sides and 1B
Round8: Repeat Round3, adding 1E
between columns on the wide sides and 1D

Round1

Round9: Repeat Round4 (Fig.5, red
thread). Note: To ensure a tight rope, when
youre passing through the previous rounds
1E, join it with the mirror E in the same
round using a ladder stitch. Theres no need
to do this every round, but doing so every
fourth repeat will help flatten the rope,
establish the wide and narrow sides, and
create a sturdy bracelet.
Repeat Rounds59 sixteen times, then repeat
Rounds58. Note: To form a longer bracelet,
stitch to the desired length, ending with a
Round8 repeat and keeping in mind that the
clasp and other end will add 1" to the finished
length. Weave through beads to exit up
through 1A before 1E.
2) FINISHING. Stitch the end round, then
add picots and a clasp:
End round: String 1F, pass down through the
second hole of the F and the next A of the
previous round, then pass up through the
following A; repeat three times. Pass up
through the first hole of the first F added in
this round (Fig.6, blue thread).
Picots: String 1B, 1A, and 1B and pass down
through the next hole of the F below, up
through the first hole of the following F,
down through the nearest hole of the
previous F, and up through the first hole of
the next F; repeat three times. Weave
through beads to exit from the first A added
in this round (Fig.6, red thread).
Clasp: String 1A, one half of the clasp, and 1A,
then pass through the last A exited to form
a loop; repeat the thread path twice to re-
inforce and exit through the clasp (Fig.7,
blue thread). String 1A and pass through
the A on the opposite side of the picot
round, then string 1A and pass through the
clasp; repeat this thread path twice to re-
inforce (Fig.7, red thread). Secure the
working thread and trim. Use the tail thread
to add picots and the second half of the
clasp to the other end of the bracelet.
Safety chain: Use 1 jump ring to connect
1end of the chain to the loop of one half of
the clasp. Use 1 jump ring to connect the
other end of the chain to the second half of
the clasp.

Earrings Provide Beacons
of Hope for Cancer Patients
Ears to You began in 2008 when founder Ruth Crane
discovered she had cancer. Sitting in a hospital gown
without her customary bandana, earrings, or makeup,
Ruth realized those adornments helped her feel attractive
and normal. On her last day of chemotherapy, she
distributed a few earrings at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
With the help of twenty-two U.S. hospitals and cancer
centers, the organization has now donated more than
10,000 free pairs of new, nickel- and lead-free earrings.
Each location decides how nurses, social workers, and
volunteers will distribute the earrings, whether at each
treatment or at certain milestones. In 2013, the program
expanded to include earrings for teens and tweens.
Donations of handmade earrings of all styles are
welcome. Learn more at www.earstoyou.org.

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.
FINISHING AND STARTING
NEW THREADS
Tie off the old thread when its about 4" long
by making an overhand knot around previ-
ous 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.
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 founda-
tion next to the last bead added. Pass up
through the foundation between the sec-
ond and third beads just added, then pass
through the third and fourth beads. Repeat
from *.
BRICK STITCH
Stitch a foundation row in one- or two-
needle ladder stitch. String 2beads and
pass under the closest exposed loop of the
foundation row and back through the sec-
ond bead. String 1bead and pass under the
next exposed loop and back through the
bead just strung; repeat.

For circular brick stitch, work increases as
needed to keep the work flat; at the end of
each round, pass through the first and last
beads to stitch them together, then string
2beads to begin the next round.
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.
HERRINGBONE STITCH
Form a foundation row of one- or two-nee-
dle 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 col-
umn, like a herringbone fabric.
Begin tubular herringbone stitch with a
foundation ring of one- or two-needle
even-count ladder stitch. String 2 beads.
Pass down through the next bead and up
through the following bead. Repeat around
the ring. At the end of the round, pass
through the first beads of the previous and
current rounds to step up to the new round.
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, add-
ing 1bead at a time and working in a
figure-eight pattern.
For two-needle ladder stitch, add a needle
to each end of the thread. String 1bead and
slide it to the center of the thread. String
1bead with one needle and pass the other
needle back through the bead just added;
repeat to form a strip.
LOOMWORK
Follow the manufacturers instructions for
warping your bead loom. Note that you will
need one more warp thread than you have
number of beads in a row. Tie a thread to an
outside warp (tie onto the left warp if you
are right-handed, the right warp if you are
left-handed). Use a needle to string the first
row of beads and slide them down to the
knot. Bring the beaded weft thread under
the warp threads and push the beads up so
that there is one bead between each two
warp threads. Hold the beads in place and
pass back through all the beads, making
sure that the needle passes over the warp
threads. End the threads by weaving back
through the beadwork, tying knots
between beads.
PICOT
A picot is a decorative net, most often
made with 3 beads, used to embellish a
beadwork surface.

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.
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 pre-
vious 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.
Two-drop peyote stitch is worked the same
as one-drop peyote stitch, but with 2beads
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.
Begin a midproject peyote-stitch increase
by working a stitch with 2 beads in one row.
In the next row, work 1 bead in each stitch,
splitting the pair of beads in the previous
row. For a smooth increase, use very narrow
beads for both the two-drop and the one-
drop between.
To make a midproject peyote-stitch
decrease, simply pass the thread through
2beads without adding a bead in the gap.
In the next row, work a regular one-drop
peyote stitch over the decrease. Work with
tight tension to avoid holes.

For circular peyote stitch, string 3beads
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 neces-
sary to adjust the bead count, depending
on the relative size of the beads, to keep the
circle flat.
For even-count tubular peyote stitch,
string an even number of beads and knot
the tail and working threads to form the
first 2rounds; pass through the first 2beads
strung. To work Round3, string 1 bead, skip
1 bead, and pass through the next; repeat
around until you have added half the num-
ber of beads in the first round. Step up
through the first bead added in this round.
For the following rounds, work 1bead in
each stitch and continue to step up at the
end of each round.
Work odd-count tubular peyote stitch the
same as even-count tubular peyote stitch,
but it isnt necessary to step up at the end
of each round.
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, alter-
nating 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 pre-
vious 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.
SQUARE STITCH
String a row of beads. For the second row,
string 2beads; pass through the second-to-
last bead of the first row and through the
second bead just strung. Continue by
stringing 1bead, 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 2beads; pass through the last
bead of the first round and through the
2beads just strung. Repeat around, passing
through the next bead of the previous
round for each 2new beads strung. At the
end of the round, pass through the whole
round again to tighten the beads. Start a
new round by stringing 2beads; pass
through the last bead of the previous round
and through the 2beads just strung. String
1bead and pass through the next bead of
the previous round and the bead just
strung. Repeat around, stitching 1or
2beads to each bead of the previous round,
adjusting the count as necessary to keep
the work flat.
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.
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.

Q: How did you get started making beads?
A: Twenty years ago, I was fascinated to see
kids making paper beads from long triangles of
paper. I decided to make them at a commercial
level. Paper beads make handsome hair sticks,
lapel pins, and earrings, and they can be
applied to the fringes of scarves. I also began
using them as barrels on pens I designed.
Michael Harrington has been creating and selling his crafts from a
young age. After moving to New York and pursuing multiple careers
including acting, singing, and engineering, he began his career in
the bead world. Today his works have been discovered by Neiman
Marcus and can be found in high-end gift stores across the country.

Q: What made you move on to making
glass beads?
A: It took ten years to make the first 15,000
pens, and by the end of that time, I was no lon-
ger buying the centerpiece beads, but making
them myself. It saved money and was fun to
do. Theyre also used to make lightweight and
unbreakable earrings.
Q: You then started making resin cabochons.
What does this process look like?
A: I lay down a background of pretty paper,
fabric, cord, etc., in any flat-based container. I
look for colorful things with texture. Thrift
stores are a gold mine for such finds. Next, I
place other found or created objects and usu-
ally then add a third layer of something diapha-
nous, such as a bridal veil, which adds depth to
the finished project. The day after pouring the
resin, I mark out on the slab the profiles I want
to cut, rough cut them with a band saw, sand
to shape, and recoat.
Q: What kind of found and created objects
do you use?
A: This is the fun part. Nature is the best
designer, so I borrow all I can. For example,
if you take a stick of cinnamon and cut it into
cross sections, you get a great curlicue or
mustache shape.
Q: What do you find beneficial about
using natural materials?
A: They are usually better designed than I can
easily do myself. Finding them keeps me
looking at nature and surprising myself. It also
feels good to reuse things. When someone
offered to supply me with recycled eyeglass
lenses, I jumped at the chance to reuse the
durable clear resin.
