Gorgeous Jasper!

EA
Beads Direct are renowned for their wonderful collection of semiprecious beads, but when we heard about these gorgeous snake skin
jasper beads we just had to take a look! Available in both a diamond
shape (18, 20 and 30mm) and a square (from 10mm up to 25mm)
these beads are a mix of shades from tan to chocolate brown, with grey
and beige inclusions. Each bead has a varied appearance so each one
of your makes will be different to the next! Prices start from 1.79.
For a generous selection of jaspers log onto www.beadsdirect.co.uk
Foxes, you may love them or loathe them, here at Beads & Beyond we
think they are rather sweet so we were delighted when The Spellbound
Bead Company sent us this nostalgic bookmark kit to play with! The kit
comes complete with all the beads and findings you need to weave this
little wonder plus some brilliant instructions that explain every step in
great detail, plus diagrams! All you will need is a pair of scissors and
some chain nose pliers. The fox bookmark kit is available for 8.50.
To see all of their latest kits go to www.spellboundbead.co.uk
Hammer Time!
Those of us who work with wire, sheet metal or metal clay probably rely on
our trusty hammers at some point or another. So we were jumping for joy
when we discovered that Mail Order Beads are now selling a solid metal,
interchangeable hammer! There are 12 heads to choose from in total
including six smooth (flat nylon, domed nylon, flat stainless steel, domed
stainless steel and flat brass) and 6 textured heads (stripes, weave, thin
circles, wide circles, speckles and dots). The faces are securely held onto
the two faces of the hammer by a screw collar. This hammer has the
benefit of being used as a chasing hammer and to create texture too. It
also features a rubber grip. So, shall we form an orderly queue?!
Pick up an interchangeable hammer
from www.mailorder-beads.co.uk for just 34.95.
Our creative minds are positively buzzing with idea overload after
we caught a glimpse at these fantastic twin seed beads! The
exclusive Czech two-holed seed bead opens up a world of design
opportunities, especially when you see the colours available! The
oval shaped beads measure 2.5mm x 5mm and these Preciosa
Twin Beads are sold in 50gram bags. Prices start from 1.95 for a
mixed coloured bag, or 2.95 for a single colour.

Waxed linen cord is a strong and supple fibre to knot with more
flexible than man-made fibres and therefore creates a superior
drape, but much less expensive than silk knotting cord.

Drop Earrings
HERES HOW: Measure out a 6cm piece of rollo chain.
Slide a 4mm rose round and a blue rondelle onto a brass
headpin and turn a wrapped loop to close, attaching this to
the end of the chain before closing. Attach a brass earwire
to the top, and repeat in full for your second earring.
Layer Bracelet
HERES HOW: Cut two 34cm pieces of chocolate silk
cord and measure out a 17cm piece of large link
etched brass chain. Attach the chain to a 10mm jump
ring, and centre both pieces of cord onto the ring with
larks head knots. Knot the ends of the cord onto the
end link in the chain and add a large hook clasp to this
link also. Cut a 50cm piece of waxed linen cord and
knot it onto the loop in the hook clasp. Knot on a
series of glass beads I have used a mixture of
rondelles and rounds in an undulating pattern. When
you have 17cm of beads, knot to the 10mm jump ring.
Add two further 10mm jump rings to create a small
extender, attaching a couple of bead dangles to the
last ring. Knot on 4mm rounds to the cord tails, then
cut two 10cm pieces of cord and centre them near to
the cord ends using larks head knots. Knot on further
rounds to these and your bracelet is complete!

Attach a further 7mm
jump ring to one end of
the chain, and a lobster
clasp to the other (using a

few small rose rounds to
the centre of the chain,
using brass headpins and

All in all, this is a beautifully and thoughtfully laid out book that will help
anyone master right angle weave.
YS
YS G
WA
I
A
There are 25 projects divided into 7 chapters that each cover a different skill in using
RAW, for example increasing and decreasing, making tubes and making beaded
beads. The techniques, and the projects, increase in difficulty as the
book progresses. Each project is accompanied by wonderfully clear
diagrams that would give even complete beginners the confidence that they
can produce a beautiful piece of jewellery.
E
GIV AWA
Mabeline Gidezs new book is a continuation of Lark Jewelrys popular I CAN series,
and is a fantastic resource for both beginners and more experienced beaders. Like
the author I found right angle weave a difficult stitch to master, with most diagrams
that I could find only confusing me more. The beauty of right angle weave projects
encouraged me to keep trying, but things would definitely have been a lot easier
for me if Mabeline had been able to write her book a few years ago! Mabeline has
written the type of book that she wishes had been available when she was teaching
herself this wonderfully useful stitch, and she has produced a fantastic resource.
I CAN Right Angle Weave (ISBN 9781454703662) is published by Lark Jewelry and
Beading. It is available from www.amazon.co.uk priced at 16.99.

of semi-precious stones kindly supplied by Precious Sparkle Beads. The
packs included some beautiful semi-precious chips, amethyst heart beads and
wonderful silver components and findings. Ready for the challenge this month are
Lisa ORourke, Sarah Perrett, Debbie Kershaw and Rowena Hayter.

designer challenge
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
When I opened the beads, I loved the delicacy of the gemstone beads contrasted with the chunky, silver
findings. I felt the connectors and square beads had a tribal look to them, so I decided to use them together to
create a tribal style bangle. I knew I would have to use either fine wire or thread with the other beads as their
threading holes were so small. I decided to create a focal bead by stitching the rose quartz beads together with
Fireline. The amethyst chips were perfect for some delicate earrings.
Lisa ORourke
Tribal Bangle
HERES HOW: Cut 25cm of 1mm silver plated wire and make a
wrapped loop at one end. Before you finish the loop add the silver
plated clasp. Thread on a silver plated square bead and a
connector bead. Using 0.5mm silver plated wire, make three
wraps around the bangle and thread on a chrysoprase chip. Hold
the bead against the bangle and wrap tightly. Then make two
more wraps to secure the bead. Repeat to add seven more
beads, finish with three wraps and trim the wire. Thread on the
other silver connector and square and finish with a wrapped loop,
remembering to put the other end of the silver clasp in the loop
before you finish the wrap.

designer challenge
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I love semi-precious beads so I was really excited when I opened the package in the post. I love amethyst and
rose quartz and I was really taken with the soft green shade too, they were the perfect thing to brighten up a grey
afternoon! They were a lot more delicate than I would usually use which I liked because it made it more of a
challenge, but I was really pleased with the results.
Rowena Hayter
Wrap Bracelet
HERES HOW: Divide your chips up into little sections; you will
need between 15 and 19 depending on the size of your wrist. Cut
a length of beading wire a little bit longer than you want the
bracelet to be (it wraps around your wrist three times) and thread
on a crimp bead and a jump ring. Take the wire back through the
crimp bead and squash it flat so you have a little secure loop with
the jump ring securely trapped in it. Begin threading on your
chips, adding a spacer bead between each section. Finish off by
crimping onto the other jump ring and attach a clasp.

designer challenge
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I was pleased with the mix of beads in my parcel as I love working with semi-precious materials and weaving the
chips together gave a lovely effect for the necklace. The charms on the bangle worked well you could use this
technique for the whole piece as the rolled loops sit together to create a pretty silver base.
Sarah Perrett
Cluster Earrings
HERES HOW: Take a 55mm headpin and thread on a small
silver bead, a metal daisy spacer, three semi-precious chips,
another daisy spacer and a 26mm length of black tube. Turn a
loop and attach this to a silver ear hook to make the earring.
Repeat to make a matching pair.
Cluster Bangle
HERES HOW: Cut a loop and a half of memory wire, roll a loop
at one end and attach a trigger clasp with a jump ring. Thread on
a small metal bead, a 26mm section of black tube and a metal
daisy spacer. Make up eight charms by threading semi-precious
chips onto 25mm ball pins and rolling down loops. Thread these
onto the wire followed by another daisy spacer. Repeat these
steps three more times, threading on black tubing and eight
charms and the daisy spacers, then end with a section of black
tube and a metal bead. Roll a loop on the other end of the
memory wire and attach an extender chain to finish.

designer challenge
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I really love the colours and shapes of this months challenge beads. The silver findings have a lovely chunky and
rustic feel and the gemstone colours complement each other perfectly. I decided to add some gunmetal wire to
create a vintage feel with the necklace, then wanted to use the lovely silver findings to their best advantage with
the bracelet and earrings.
Debbie Kershaw
Bell Earrings
HERES HOW: Take three headpins or eyepins and thread a
gemstone onto each one. Hold the pins together at the desired
lengths and wrap around a length of 0.4mm wire to secure the
pins in place. Thread on your bead cap and turn a loop at the
top of the remaining pins. Thread a jump ring through the loops
and attach an earring wire.

HERES HOW: You could make a stack of these bracelets in different colours. To make
one: cut 30cm of waxed linen and attach a ceramic dropper to one end using a larks head
knot and an overhand knot. Start threading on stone peanut beads. About 15mm along
add four sandstone peanuts, three blue pinch beads, another three sandstone peanuts,
then continue adding stone peanuts until you have a 16cm strand. Add a silver pellet bead
then another 5cm of stone peanuts. Fold this last section in two and knot the end next to
the silver pellet, making a loop to hold your focal and fasten your bracelet.

step-by-step project
Q What inspires
your jewellery makes?
A To be honest, anything or anyone could be an inspiration from
childrens storybooks, vintage porcelain and textile, poems and
people too. When I lived in England, the V&A museum was the
best source of inspiration. Although imaginations are endless, not
all ideas can be executed and end up being a wonderful piece of
wearable art.
I live in a small city, and its wonderful as I need peace while
experimenting with a design. But every now and then I take time
to visit bigger cities to get a better idea about my target market,
to see those who might wear my pieces. The tall lady that sits in
the corner of the cafe might want a pair of long-dangling earrings
for the opera, or that cheerful student might like to have some
whimsical brooches on her fabulous jacket. People can be a great
source of inspiration.
Q What has been the highlight of your career so far?
A My shop hasnt been open constantly for long. Every now and
then I close it to work on ideas and exploration. But lovely e-mails
and feedback from satisfied customers bring me the greatest joy.
I also got few offers from publishers to write books and tutorials.
Although it is so gratifying, I dont think that there is anything new
about the technique that I am using.

Hi,
I thought Id share this necklace and earring set with you. I made it using a purple banded agate
pendant with amethyst and calcopyrite rounds connected by lengths of silver chain. I got my
inspiration from seeing all the designs in your recent magazines using chain as a feature. I have
to admit I dont normally use much chain but thought it worked really well with this necklace. The
earrings are made to match with bead cap detail over the calcopyrite gemstone.
I make jewellery part time in my tiny amount of free time with a very active three year old at home. I
love to receive your magazine each month in the post as it gives me loads of ideas and inspiration
to try something different. Thank you so much for creating such a lovely magazine.
Best wishes,

Hi Claire,
Im really happy to hear that the inspiring projects in Beads &
Beyond have encouraged you to use a material that you usually
wouldnt. Chain is a great way to add length to a piece of jewellery
quickly, easily and often at a reasonable price too depending on
Rebecca Andersons Vintage
what metal you are using. One of my favourite examples of using

chains in a project recently was Rebecca Anderson's Vintage

feature
Are you ready to start selling your handmade jewellery? Take a look
at our introduction to Etsy to see if its right for you. By Hazel Ward.
Although setting up a
shop is free, listing a piece
of jewellery for sale will
cost you twenty pence, for a
period of four months.
Setting Up
When you first begin youll need to pick a
shop name as well as a user name.
Spend some time thinking about what
you want your name to reflect,
because it will be your business
name on Etsy and appear in
your web address. Etsy also
provides a space for a
customized banner of
760x100 pixels. This is a
great opportunity to
stamp your personality on
your shop by showing off

27/11/13 09:36:57
feature
Community
Theres a strong community element on
Etsy which can help you with promoting
your shop, solving problems, and,
unfortunately, procrastinating when you
should be creating! In addition to help
forums, Etsy offers the ability for sellers to
create or join teams groups of creators
who share something in common, whether
its a commitment to promoting each
others work, or a shared skill like
metalworking.
You can also have a go at making a
Treasury, which is a gallery curated by
Creating a Listing
When you first click the Add a new listing
link, youll be taken to a streamlined page
where you can fill in all the details about
your piece of jewellery and add a catchy
title and description. For each item you list,
you can have one featured photograph
which will show up first, and four additional
shots. Its a good idea to use these extra
slots to show different angles and closeups of your jewellery. As with all longdistance selling, clear, eye-catching
pictures are important. When Etsy buyers
search or browse the website, they will
typically be presented with page upon
page of photographs, so its necessary to
take product shots that stand out.
users. Its considered impolite to include more than one of your own items in a Treasury
though, so make sure you share the love around!
Promoting Your Shop
To get your work seen, link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to your Etsy shop using
their simple links. This will allow you to easily promote your products to your followers
and fans. If youre more into visual platforms, you can also use the Pin It Pinterest
buttons in your shop to share your pictures and drive traffic to them (just remember to pin
other peoples work more than your own to keep in line with Pinterests rules). Want to try
traditional advertising? Etsy offers sponsored search adverts which you can purchase to
make your listings appear at the top of relevant searches.
Selling on Etsy
Pros:
Since Etsy has so many sellers, its easy for your work to get lost amongst the
crowds of competing items. This is a particular problem in a popular category
like jewellery, so dont rely on Etsy only to bring your shop traffic promote
elsewhere too.
Merchandise from large factories, and
mass-produced goods can sometimes
slip in amongst the handmade items; a
violation of the Etsy ethos but still a
common problem.
The fees can add up quickly,
particularly if youre regularly renewing
your items and using search adverts.

wire or linen cord threaded on
a needle works like a
dream!

Cut pieces of ring memory wire you need a complete circle plus about a 1cm overlap for the loops for each charm. Turn a loop in
one end of the memory wire pieces.
Choose eight crystals that coordinate with your chosen gemstone chips or other beads. Thread each of the crystals onto ball
ended headpins and turn a wrapped loop.
Thread three gemstones chips onto the memory wire, followed by the crystal then another three chips. Turn a loop in the other end
of the memory wire. Repeat to make a set of charms in different colours.
