As I finish the final edit of this years December/January
issue, I have bittersweet feelings. Why? Because with this
issue we bid farewell to our outstanding 2012 Designers
of the Year.
I especially loved the way Leslie Frazier taught us how to incorporate
other bead shapes, such as peanut beads, into her designs and how Diane
Fitzgerald rounded out her years collection by sharing many of the secrets
behind her signature, three-dimensional beaded flowers. Sisters Sue Jackson
and Wendy Hubick proved the power of collaboration, sharing the wonderful
projects that resulted from their teamwork. And Jean Power offered up
a treasure trove of geometric components, pieces that Im sure will make
their way into your other designs. Their final collection of projects begins
on page 40.
The bitterness of saying goodbye to these talented designers is sweetened
by the excitement I feel for all the projects and articles in this issue. Check
out Jean Campbells in-depth look at the hottest new bead shapes (page 14),
then give twin beads a try with Cindy Holsclaws Snowflakes Bracelet
(page 74). Kathy Burke shares a fun netting technique for bezeling crystal
rivolis, plus a smart way to make an interchangeable focal that can be worn
on many different ropes (page 70). You also wont want to miss Sra Zsadons
Rhythm of the Sea Bracelet (page 60), which, in my opinion, is the perfect
use of cubic right-angle weave.
Stay tuned for next issues debut of the new 2013 Designers of the Year
and the winner of Beadworks 15th Anniversary Beaded Bead Contest.
Happy New Year,

WHAT OUR READERS DID
READERS TIP
I love this pattern.
I did it without
joining the ends;
instead, I added a
magnetic clasp.
READERS TIP
I made the bracelet
band four beads wide
instead of six beads
wide and used black
chips instead of
crystals.
READERS TIP
I made the medallions
without the center
bead and added a loop
between the rondelles
to attach the necklace
portion on each side.
READERS TIP
Instead of using
right-angle weave on the
charms, I surrounded the
glass pearls with peyote
stitch and made the
picots using
size 15s.
KARI MONACK of Pueblo, Colorado,
made this bracelet based on Sue Jackson
and Wendy Hubicks Saturn of the Sea
project from the April/May 2012 issue.
SHERYL STEPHENS of Holt,
Michigan, made this necklace based on
Melinda Bartas Millefori Medallions
from the April/May 2012 issue.
CYNTHIA SPANN of Dallas,
Texas, created this necklace based
on Ann Gilberts Beaded Bubbles
bracelet from the December
2011/January 2012 issue.
NATALIE CEMAS of Duplje, Slovenia, created
this bracelet based on Csilla Csirmazs Eye on the
Prize project from the February/March 2012 issue.
EVA WILLIS of Augusta, Kansas, created this bracelet
based on Sue Charette-Hoods Right on Track Bangle
from the June/July 2012 issue.

How would you
describe your very
first beading
project?
Want to become a
Beadwork contributor?
See our submissions guidelines at
beadworkmagazine.com.
My very first beading project
was a carefully strung bracelet
using Swarovski crystal
8mm square beads, silver
and crystal spacers, jet round
crystals, and various silver
beads. It had bling, it was
chunky, and I loved it!
KATHY BURKE
My first beading project was a
necklace that I strung with
cherry quartz, fire-polished
beads, and some silver spacers.
It was so bad that I have no
recollection of its storage
place. I was very persistent
and decided to learn to weave
with beads. I decided that I
should learn one basic stitch
at a time, because stringing
simply wasnt for me, and here we are.
MARIA TERESA MORAN
Ive been working with beads
since before I can remember,
but I was about eleven years
old when I made my first off-
loom beadweaving project:
a pair of cascading earrings
made of bugle and round seed
beads woven together with the
brick-stitch and fringe tech-
niques. CINDY HOLSCLAW
I dont remember clearly, but
my very first project must
have been some single-strand
necklace with a simple pattern
I made as a child using Czech
seed beads. We had lots of
these beads at home and my
father used them to string
necklaces for my mother.
SRA ZSADON
I found some tubular peyote
stitch ropes on vacation and
was immediately hooked.
Upon return, no one in
Houston knew anything about
beadweaving. I bought some
green size 11s and went to
work on a plastic-handled
crochet hook, ending up with a
beaded handle. I was so very
proud. NANCY JONES
When I was eleven, I sewed
beads onto my Campfire Girls
vest. Otherwise, I didnt do
any beading until twelve years
ago. I found a darling tur-
quoise pendant, and a very
talented woman at the bead
shop helped me gather beads
to match the necklace. I still
like it. GLORIANNE LJUBICH
My first beading project was
stringing a green glass cube
and some long beads in teal
and purple. Then I had these
dagger thingsI didnt even
know what they were called
then. So I added some more
cubes and some bugles and a
lobster clasp. I was so happy! I
still wear it. CAROL MUNDY

Cubic right-angle weave, spiral tubular herringbone, tubular peyote,
flat peyote, stringing, picotI may have used as many different
stitches as the kit has different types of beads! I dove into this fun
kit by starting with beaded beads made of the CzechMates Tiles and
a variation of cubic right-angle weave. Once I realized I could link
them with sections of tubular peyote, the front of the necklace fell
right into place, as did the herringbone and strung straps.
FOUR DESIGNERS, ONE STASH
THE RULES: We use our favorites from the materials
provided and, where necessary, round out projects with
our own supplies.
THE STASH: These juicy Wildly Bohemian Blackberry Bush
kits (at right) from Starman contained 10 Toho seed bead
varieties and assorted Czech glass beads. Starman also pro-
vided some CzechMates Tiles and Czech glass petal beads.

margie deeb (long-time contributor)
This was my fourth solution to the Challenge. Id made a loomed
bracelet and large necklace out of the tiles and another out of wooden
discs I painted. None of them sparked the imagination the way I want
my jewelry to. Im glad I made the others because they were the path
that led me to this bracelet. I was drawn to the rose-petal beads because
their shape is unusual, unpredictable. Because of that, I didnt want to
hang them at the end of fringe; I wanted to position them in a different,
intriguing way, a way in which they would make their own bead.

lena thaller (reader participant)
Since I started soutache work, I am more hooked on beading than
everthe possibilities are endless. As soon as I mixed the beads
[from this kit] and soutache on my beading tray, I was inspired to
make something wildly bohemian (name on the bead pack) yet
simple. A basic crystal bead enclosed by a soutache braid and a
handful of other beads were the beginning. As layers were added to
the base, the design changed and the result looks very different
from the original idea. I am sure in the remaining bead soup there
is another jewelry set hidingI look forward to finding it.
kate wilson (project editor)
Ive wanted an extra-long pendant necklace for a long time, so I decided
to use this opportunity to create an everyday piece I could wear to the
office. Inspired by a pair of Kristen Winter earrings that will appear in
an upcoming issue of Beadwork, I used 24k gold-plated hammered rings
to anchor the beads, then brick-stitched the kit beads into a circular
pattern to create concentric circles inside the rings. Beaded beads
(Seeing Stars, Melinda Barta, June/July 2012) stitched with gold-lined
seed beads around a light brown crystal pearl accent the woven- rope
chain without taking away from the pendant.

{ SHAPED BEADS } Jean Campbell
TECHNIQUES YOU CAN'T BEAD WITHOUT
I remember visiting my first real bead shop. It was 1985 or so, and there were lots of shell,
wood, and pressed-glass beads; a few stones; and a smattering of African trade and metal
beads. In a basket in the corner was a selection of short tubes of Czech seed beads in a few
opaque colors.
Oh my, have bead shops changed since then! As a beadworker, the change Im most excited
about is the huge selection of seed beads available to us nownot just the wide variety of
seed bead colors, but seed bead shapes. Here are a handful of the new shape styles that
have us stitchers going wild.
PEANUT BEADS
Nicknamed for their hourglass shape, these seed beads are also known as berry
or farfalle (Italian for butterflies) beads. These colorful names come from the
beads look, like two tiny balls of glass melded together with a hole punched where
the two rounds meet. Currently they come in two sizes: 42mm (from both Japan
and the Czech Republic) and 6.53.2mm (Czech).
You can use these beads for any type of stitch that youd use a traditional round
seed bead. The difference is the rich texture and thickness that the beads lend.
TWO-HOLE TILE BEADS
One of the biggest splashes in the beadworking world over the last couple years
has been the introduction of two-hole tile beads. These flat, square 5mm beads
work beautifully for forming smooth bands of peyote and brick stitch, but also
work great as bases for intricate netted patterns.
The Japanese version of these beads is called Tila (tee-lah). They have crisp
edges, even sides, and are fairly consistent from bead to bead. The Czech ver-
sion is called CzechMates Tiles. They have rounded edges, and since theyre
quite a bit thicker than their Japanese cousins, they arent as prone to
breakage.
TWO-HOLE SEED BEADS
These beads are football-shaped with one hole at each end. Measuring at
52mm, they are about the same size of three size 11 beads stuck together,
but with their thin ends and bulky center, they take on a completely different
flavor than any other bead, almost like a spacer bar. They look fabulous when
stitched simply with flat peyote stitch, but also work well with complicated
Russian netting and other intricate stitches.
These beads are available in the United States as Twins and Super Duos.
Both are made in the Czech Republic and are generally the same size and shape
(Super Duos are a little fatter around the middle), but youll need to cull more
misshapen beads from a package of Twins than a package of Super Duos.

JEAN CAMPBELL is senior editor of Beadwork magazine and a jewelry-design artist and teacher. She is the author of several beading books and
appears as Stitch Pro on Beads, Baubles, and Jewels. Visit her at www.jeancampbellink.blogspot.com.
LONG MAGATAMAS
These beads, which measure 473mm, are a lengthened version of our favorite
drop or magatama beads. They are different because of their unique shape: When
looking at them face-on, youll see an oval with a wide hole sitting near one end.
Looking at it from the side, youll see a leaning rectangle with crisp edges. These
pretty beads work great for embellishment, but also are lovely stitched tightly
together in brick or peyote stitch to make a dragon-scale look.
SPIKES
Ive added these new conical Czech-made beads to this list because they are so tiny
and, well, pretty fantastic. Because theyre only 5mm at the base and the hole is
quite near the base, they can easily be stitched together. Youll just want to make
sure their 7mm tall spikes all sit on the same side of the work. I think were going
to see some pretty innovative beadwork incorporating spikes in the years ahead!
Larger sizes are available.

Every beader should know how to stitch three-dimensional
shapes such as these circles, triangles, and squares. Not only do
these shapes make great components for any design, but they
are perfect for toggle clasps. Start with a circle and then see how
a few herringbone stitches can transform a ring of beads into
triangles and squares. by melinda barta

beaded circles. Use tubular
peyote stitch to form a circle by
stitching 2sides of a central ring and
zipping the sides together along the
outside edge:
ROUNDS 1 AND 2 Use 5' (1.5 m) of
thread to string 40A, leaving a
6"(15.2 cm) tail. Tie a square knot
with the tail and working threads
to form a ring, leaving one beads
width of space so the ring is not
too tight. Pass through the frst
bead strung, making sure the
knot doesnt slip inside the bead
(fig.01).
ROUND 3 String 1A, skip 1A previ-
ously strung, and pass through the
next A; repeat nineteen times to
add a total of 20A. note: Step up for
each new round by passing through
the frst bead added in the current
round (fig. 02). To keep the beadwork
fexible, use relaxed thread tension.
ROUND 4 Work 1C in each stitch to
add a total of 20C (fig. 03, blue).
ROUND 5 Repeat Round 4 (fig. 03,
red).
green). note: Work with slightly
tighter thread tension in Rounds 6
and 7 so the beadwork cups.
ROUND 7 Work 1 stitch with 1D
and 1stitch with 1C; repeat this
sequence nine times to add a total
of 10D and 10C (fig. 04, blue).
Weave through beads to exit Round 1
(fig. 04, red).
ROUND 8 Work of Round 1 with 1C
in each stitch to add a total of 20C
(fig. 05). Hold the beadwork so that
the beads added for this second
side are inside the cup of beadwork.
As you work this side, manipulate
the beads with your thumb and
index fnger to encourage the
cupping of the beadwork. Te sides
will curl up toward each other.

ZIP To double the working thread, move
the needle closer to the beadwork
so the end of the thread extends
5" (12.7 cm) beyond the last bead
exited. Fold the sides up toward each
other so that Round 7 meets Round 10
and zip the edges together (fig.07).
Secure the threads and trim.
Repeat this entire step three times for
a total of 4 beaded circles. Set the
circles aside.

toggle bar. Make a strip with
fat peyote stitch, zip the ends to
form a tube, embellish the ends, and
add a connection loop:
TUBE Use 3' (.9 m) of thread and C
to work a strip 16 beads wide and
10rows long. Fold the ends toward
each other so Row 1 meets Row 10
and zip the edges together (fig. 08,
blue). Weave through beads to exit
away from the beadwork from 1 end
C (fig.08, red).
END EMBELLISHMENT String 1D, pass
down through the next end C and
up through the next; repeat twice
(fig. 09). Repeat the embellishment
around the end of the tube once more
to add a total of 5D. Weave through
beads of the tube or pass the needle
down through the center of the
tube, to exit an end C and repeat this
embellishment at the other end.

the row above the one just exited,
5 beads in from the other end (fig.10).
Weave through beads to work

bracelet assembly. Join the
glass discs, beaded circles, and
the clasp with simple seed bead rings:
BEADED RINGS Use 10" (25.4 cm) of
thread to string 32B and 2 beaded cir-
cles, leaving a 4" (10.2cm) tail. Pass
through all the beads again and tie
a square knot to form a tight circle.
Pass through 3 beads, tie a knot, pass
through 3 more beads, and trim the
thread; add a needle to the tail thread
and repeat (fig. 11). Repeat to form a
second 32B loop that joins the same
2 beaded circles. Form two 40B rings
that join 1 of the previous beaded
circles to 1 disc. Form two 40B rings
that join the other side of this disc to
1 beaded circle. Form two 32B rings
that join the previous beaded circle
to the remaining beaded circle. Form
two 40B rings that join the previous
beaded circle to the remaining disc.
Form two 34B rings that connect to
the last disc.
TOGGLE CHAIN *Form one 14C ring
that attaches to both of the previous
rings. Form two 20B rings that attach
to the previous ring. Repeat from *
twice more, or for the desired length,
connecting the fnal pair of 20Brings
to the toggles connection loop
(fig.12). note: Work an even number
of rings so the toggle aligns with the
discs and beaded circles.

Rounds 57: Work with tight tension to
form 36 stitches with 1A in each stitch
for a total of 3 rounds. Insert the cabo-
chon faceup into the beadwork after
Round 5.
2) LINKS 221. Repeat Link 1 twenty
times, each time passing the 60B of
Rounds 1 and 2 through the previous
chain before forming the circle to create
a chain (Fig.2). Set the chain aside.
Note: For a longer or shorter necklace,
add or subtract links.
3) CLASP. Work odd-count peyote stitch
to form a beaded square with one open
corner for a snap:
Note: As you bead the clasp, the in-
creases will cause your flat piece of
beadwork to bend. This adds the neces-
sary corners to the piece, so let the

Artists Tips
You can easily turn the pendant of this necklace
into a brooch. Simply thread a large safety pin
behind the beaded strip at the back of your
pendant.
When beading the petals, work very tightly. Dont
worry if you see thread where you skip the spaces
at first; by the time youve finished the petals, this
wont be noticeable.

flat peyotestitched band 5 beads wide
and 29 rows long off of the back of the
bezel. Zip the end of the strip to Bezel
Round 12 on the opposite side of the
pendant.
8) ASSEMBLY. Slide the clasp under the

1) BASE. Use a variation of flat peyote
stitch and freeform netting to form the
necklace base:
Band, Stitch 1: Place a needle at the center
of 6' of black thread. Bring the ends
together and wax well. Knot the ends
together with an overhand knot. Trim
the tails 1mm from the knot and use a
lighter to slightly melt them. String 4N;
separate the threads between the first
bead and the knot, pass the needle
between the strands, then pass back
through the last two beads strung (Fig.1).
Band, Stitch 2: String 2N; pass back
through the last 2N exited in the previ-
ous stitch (Fig.2, green thread).
through the last N added in the previous
stitch (Fig.2, blue thread).
through the last 2N added in the
previous stitch (Fig.2, red thread).
Repeat Stitches 3 and 4 for 23" or to the
desired length. Fold the band in half to
form a V shape and stitch the V in place at
the point. Secure the thread and trim.

Clasp: Start 8" of new waxed black thread
at one end of the band. Securely sew one
half of the clasp to the end; secure the
thread and trim. Repeat to add the other
half of the clasp to the other end of
the band.
Center: Prepare 6' of new thread as in
Stitch 1; anchor the thread so it exits
from 1N at the inside of the bands
point. String 3B; pass under the exposed
thread on the opposite inside edge of the
band, 1N up from the last point exited.
String 4B; pass under the exposed
band, 2N up from the last point exited.
String 6B; pass under the thread on the
opposite inside edge of the band, 2N up
from the last point exited. String 3B;
pass through the fourth N of the last net
formed. String 5B; pass under the
band, 1N up from the last point exited
(Fig.3). Continue working freeform net-
ting across the bands point until the
netting is 3" high and 3" wide. Secure
the thread and trim. Set the base aside.

Rows 1321: Repeat Rows 412 to com-
plete the other side of the petal. Weave
through beads to exit from the first E of
Row 1 (on the knotted end of the petal),
toward the work (Fig.5). Dont trim the
thread; set aside.
Repeat this entire step four times for a
total of 5 petals, mixing in E at the tips
(opposite the knotted end) as desired to
shade the other petals, making them look
more natural. Use tight tension to encour-
age the petals to curl.
Connect: Place 2 petals together so their
knotted ends sit side by side. Use the tail
thread of one of the petals to square-
stitch the two sides together for
10stitches (Fig.6). Repeat to connect all
of the petals in this manner, forming
the flower shape. Stitch the button to
the center of the flower. Set the 5-petal
flower aside.
3) LEAF CLUSTERS. Use square stitch and
fringe to form a cluster of long, thin leaves:
Rows 1 and 2: Use 5' of waxed green
thread to string 4H; tie a knot to form a
circle, then position the beads so they sit
in 2 side-by-side columns. Exit up
through the right column (Fig.7, orange
thread).
Row 3: String 2H; pass down through the
top H of the left column, up through the
top H of the right column, and up
through the first H just added (Fig.7,
green thread).
Rows 420: Repeat Row 3 seventeen times
(F ig.7, blue thread).
Fringe: String 6H; pass back through the
first 5H just added and the top left H of
the previous row (Fig.7, red thread).
Secure the thread and trim. Set aside.
Repeat this entire step twice, making
1leaf with 16 rows and the other leaf with
10 rows. Square-stitch the first 2 rows of
each leaf together to form the long-leaf
cluster. Set aside.
Repeat this entire step seven times for a
total of 8 clusters, making each new clus-
ter with 3 or 4 leaves each and varying
lengths.
2) 5-PETAL FLOWER. Work odd-count
peyote-stitched petals, then connect them
to form a flower:
Rows 1 and 2: Prepare 6' of new red thread
as in Band, Stitch 1, but dont knot the
ends together; add a stop bead, leaving a
3" tail. String 26G; pass back through
the second-to-last G strung (Fig.4, blue
thread).
Row 3: String 1G, skip 1G, and pass back
through the next G of the previous row;
repeat eleven times for a total of 12G.
Remove the stop bead and tie a knot
with the working and tail threads; pass
back through the last G exited and the
final G added in this row (Fig.4, red
thread).
Row 4: Work 2 stitches with 1E in each
stitch, 7 stitches with 1D in each stitch,
and 2 stitches with 1E in each stitch.
Work a turnaround to pass back
through the last E added in this row,
forming a decrease.
Row 5: Work 1 stitch with 1E, 8 stitches
with 1D in each stitch, and 1 stitch with
1E. Work a turnaround to pass back
through the last E added.
Rows 611: Work peyote stitch with D for
six more rows, decreasing each row by
1D. The final row will contain 4D.
Row 12: Work 3 stitches with 1G in each
stitch. Weave through beads to exit
from the first G of Row 1 (near the knot-
ted end), toward the work.

4) FAN FLOWER. Use brick stitch and
fringe to form a flowery fan shape:
Row 1: Use 6' of waxed pale purple thread
to ladder-stitch a strip 2I tall and 4I
wide. Exit from the end I (Fig.8, green
thread).
Row 2: String 4I; pass under the thread
between the third and fourth stacks of
Row 1 and pass back through the last 2I
just added to form a brick stitch. *String
2I; pass under the thread between the
next 2 stacks of Row 1 and pass back
through the last 2I just added. Repeat
from * three times for a total of 6 stacks
of 2I in this row. Note: The last 2 stacks
will share the same thread bridge of
Row 1. Turn the work after each row if
you find it easier to work from left to
right.
Row 3: Brick-stitch a total of 10 stacks of
2I across the previous row. Note: Utilize
the thread bridges from the previous
row more than once to make the
increases.
Row 4: Brick-stitch a total of 18 stacks
across the previous row, this time alter-
nating between 2I and 2J in each stack.
Row 5: Brick-stitch a total of 22 stacks of
2J across the previous row (Fig.8, blue
thread).
Row 6: **String 6I and 1J; pass back
through the last I strung. String 5I; pass
down through the last 2J exited in
Row5 and up through the next 2J of
Row 5 (Fig.8, red thread) to form a
fringe. Repeat from ** twenty-one times
for a total of 22 fringes. Secure the
thread and trim; set aside.
Repeat this entire step to form a second
fan flower, alternating the number of
stacks in each row as desired.

5) POM-POM FLOWER. Work a variation
of flat peyote stitch with fringe to form a
pom-pom flower:
Row 1: Use 6' of waxed orange thread to
string 10K and 1L; pass back through
the last K added to form a fringe (Fig.9,
green thread).
Row 2: String 5K; pass back through the
fourth K of the previous row. String 1K;
pass back through the first 2K of the
previous row. Tie a knot with the work-
ing and tail threads (Fig.9, blue thread).
Row 3: String 2K; pass back through the
last K of the previous row. String 7K and
1L; pass back through the last K added
to form a fringe (Fig.9, red thread).
Rows 447: Repeat Rows 2 and 3 twenty-
two times or until the strip is 4" long.
Assembly: Start 2' of new orange waxed
thread that exits from the first 2K of
Row 1, away from the work. Square-
stitch the 2K of the first row to the 2K of
the fourth row, allowing the strip to roll.
Weave through the next 2 stacks along
the edge of the strip (Fig.10). Continue
square-stitching the last 2K exited to
the nearest 2K of a previous row, caus-
ing the strip to roll, forming a tight base
for the flower. Secure the thread and
trim; set aside.
6) GRAPEVINES. Use flat peyote stitch to
form the grapevines:
Rows 1 and 2: Prepare 6' of new waxed
green thread as in Band, Stitch 1, but
dont knot the ends together; add a stop
bead, leaving a 3" tail. String 2" of F;
skip the last F and pass back through
the next 7F to form a fringe.
Row 3: String 1F, skip 1F, and pass back
through the next F of the previous row;
repeat down the strand (Fig.11, green
thread). Remove the stop bead and tie a
knot with the working and tail threads.
Row 4: String 1O and pass back through
the next F of Row 3; repeat down the
row, stopping before the fringe. Pass
through the nearest F of Row 1, toward
the center of the strand (Fig.11, blue
thread).
Row 5: String 1O and pass back through
the next O of Row 1; repeat down the
row (Fig.11, red thread). Exit from
Row 2.

first M of the 9M added in the previous
row. String 1M; pass back through the
first 2M added in the previous row
Rows 23 and on: Repeat Rows 21 and 22
to form a strip of beadwork long enough
to wrap around the center of the flower
(Rows 120) twice.
Assembly: Repeat the assembly technique
in Step 5, rolling and securing the strip
around the center to complete the
flower. Secure the thread and trim.
8) ASSEMBLY. Securely sew the compo-
nents to the netted portion of the necklace
base, and the sections of the base that sur-
round it, in a pleasing design. Extend ele-
ments beyond the netted base as desired.

Artists Tips
Memory wire is made from stainless steel
and can be very hard on your tools. Dont
use your expensive round-nose pliers or wire
cutters. Instead, purchase inexpensive pliers
and special memory-wire cutters to work
with this kind of wire and other base metals.
Try something other than silver or pewter
beads. Its very easy to experiment with this
project because if you dont like it, its simple
to disassemble and start over.

1) COMPONENT 1. Use two-needle right-
angle weave for the component base and
netting embellishment:
Base Unit 1: Place a needle at each end of
7' of thread. Use the right needle to
string 3C; use the left needle to string
1C. Use the left needle to pass back
through the third C strung with the
right needle (Fig.1, blue thread). Note:
The right and left needle will switch
with each new section. Dont switch
needles unless indicated.
Base Unit 2: Use the right needle to string
3C. Pass the left needle back through
the 3C just strung so there is one needle
exiting each side C (Fig.1, red thread).
Embellishment Unit 1: Use the right nee-
dle to string 1A, 1B, 1A, 1B, and 1A;
pass through the last C exited on the
base, the center C, and the next side C of
Base Unit 1 (Fig.2, blue thread). Use
the left needle to string 1A and 1B; pass
through the middle A of the previous
net. String 1B and 1A; pass through the
last C exited on the base, the center C,
and the next side C of Base Unit1
Embellishment Unit 2: Repeat Embellish-
ment Unit 1 (Fig.3, blue thread). Weave
through beads so the needles exit from
the top and bottom C of Base Unit 2
2) COMPONENT 2. String pearls, then
right-angle-weave and embellish the
second component:
Pearl Strand 1 and Base Unit 1: Use the
left needle (exiting from the top of Base
Unit 2) to string 2A, 1D, 2A, and 4C.
Pass through the first 2C of the 4C just
added to form a right-angle-weave unit
Pearl Strands 2 and 3 and Base Unit 2:
Use the right needle (exiting the bottom
of the first Base Unit 2) to string 2A, 1D,
1A, 1D, and 2A; pass back through the
bottom C of the right-angle-weave unit
just formed. String 3C; pass through the
last C exited to form another right-
angle-weave unit and the next 2C just
added. String 2A. String {1D and 1A}
three times. String 1A. Pass through the
bottom C of the first Base Unit 1 and
weave through beads to exit up through
the side C of the new Base Unit 1 (Fig.4,
red thread).
Embellishment units: Repeat the
embellishment units of Component 1.
Repeat this entire step five times for
a total of 7 pearl-connected crystal
components.
3) STRAPS. Place a needle on each end of
3' of thread. Weave through the end com-
ponent so one needle exits through the top
C of Base Unit 1 and the other needle exits
through the bottom C of Base Unit 2, away
from the work. Use each needle to string

Artists Tip
Use good-quality beads and findings.
Not only do they fit together better,
but they look wonderful.
10012012164131
Artists Tips
Besides screw-on end caps, there are different solutions to finish the
memory-wire ends. You can either use glue-on end caps or simply
curl the wire into a tight simple loop with round-nose pliers.
Even good-quality seed beads tend to be uneven in size, but it
comes in handy when peyote-stitching the waves. For a nice result,
take care to use thinner-than-average size 15s for the inner arches
of the waves and use wider size 11s for the outside of the waves.

2) FIRST END LOOP. Form a loop on the
end of the rope and embellish with peyote
stitch:
Join: Bend the beginning of the rope so
the bottom of Cube 1 touches a face of
Cube 10. Use the tail thread, B, and
cubic right-angle weave to connect the
2cubes. Exit from a B along the inside
edge of the loop just formed, toward
Cube 10 (Fig.3).
Inside, front: String 1A and pass through
the next inside-edge B; repeat nine
times for a total of 10A. Note: Choose
the thinnest A beads for the inside of
the loop. If the loop is too tight and
theres not enough space for an A, you
can broaden the loop with the help of
a pen or a chopstick. Weave through
beads to exit from the outside-edge B of
the joining unit, toward the outside of
the loop (Fig.4, blue thread).
Outside, front: Work 3 peyote stitches
with 2B in each stitch. Work 4 peyote
stitches with 3C in each stitch, forming
picots. Work 1 peyote stitch with 1B.
String 1D and pass through the next B;
weave through the beads on the side of
the rope to reinforce this stitch again.
Note: Choose thinner beads when add-
ing more than one at a time. Weave
through beads to exit from the mirror B
on the outside edge of the back of the
loop, toward the top of the loop (Fig.4,
red thread). Flip the work over.
1) ROPE. Stitch a cubic-right-angle-
weave rope:
Cube 1, Bottom: Use 5' of thread to string
4B, leaving a 12" tail; pass through the
beads again to form a tight circle and tie
a surgeons knot to secure. Pass through
the first B strung (Fig.1, black thread).
Cube 1, Face 1: String 3B; pass through
the last B exited and the first B just
added (Fig.1, orange thread).
Cube 1, Face 2: String 2B; pass back
through the next bottom B, up through
the nearest side B of Face 1, through the
2B just added, and the next bottom B
(Fig.1, purple thread).
Cube 1, Face 3: String 2B; pass down
through the nearest side B of Face 2,
through the last bottom B exited, and
up through the first B just added (Fig.1,
green thread).
Cube 1, Face 4: String 1B; pass down
back through the next bottom B, up
and through the B just added (Fig.1,
blue thread).
Cube 1, top: Pass through the 4 top B of
the cube faces; pull the thread tight
to complete the first cube (Fig.1,
red thread).
Cubes 2256: Repeat Cube 1, Faces 14
and the top, 255 times, using the top of
the previous cube as the bottom of the
new cube to form a cubic-right-angle-
weave rope (Fig.2). Dont trim the
threads.

Artists Tips
You can omit the memory wire and
finish the bracelet with thread. Just
use thread to string the body of the
bracelet and attach magnetic clasps
to the ends. This makes a looser
bracelet, but is easier than stringing
with the memory wire.
When working the rope, you can
make counting the units easier by
using safety pins or stitch markers ;
stitch one pin into the center of every
twentieth cube.

End: Work 4 peyote stitches with 1B in
each stitch along the front edge on the
end of the rope (Fig.7, blue thread).
4) SECOND END LOOP. Repeat the join
in Step 2 to connect the final cube of the
rope to the tenth-to-last cube (Cube 247),
making sure the loop mirrors the first end
loop (Fig.7, red thread). Repeat the inside
and outside embellishments of Step 2 to
complete the loop.
5) OPPOSITE WAVES, FRONT. Weave
through beads to exit from the D added to
the second end loop, away from the C
embellishments. Pass through the next B
along the inner edge of the rope. Repeat
Step 3 along the unfinished front edge of
the rope, forming waves that alternate
with those already formed.
6) BACK WAVES. Embellish the back
edges of the waves to further structure the
bracelet:
Back Wave 1: Weave through beads to exit
from the first B along the outer edge on
the back of the bracelet, under and away
from the end loop. Work 10 peyote
stitches with 1B in each stitch (Fig.8,
orange thread). Work 1 stitch with 1D;
reinforce the D, adding 1B to the other
side as before (Fig.8, green thread).
Back Wave 2: Work 6 peyote stitches with
1B in each stitch, 1 peyote stitch with
1A, and then pass through the next 4B
without adding any beads. Work 1 pey-
ote stitch with 1A and 6 peyote stitches
with 1B in each stitch. Reinforce the last
D added, adding 1B to the other side as
before (Fig.8, blue thread).
Back Wave 3: Work 6 peyote stitches
with 1B in each stitch. Work 1 peyote
stitch with 1D; reinforce the D, adding
1B to the other side as before (Fig.8,
red thread).
3) FRONT WAVES. Use peyote stitch
to shape and embellish the front of
the rope:
Front Wave 1: Work peyote stitches along
the front edge of the rope in the follow-
ing stitch order: 1B six times, 1A six
times, and 1B six times. Note: This
establishes the inner curve of the first
wave on the front of the work. Choose
thin A beads so that the waves will be
nicely arched. Pass through the last D
added on the front of the rope in the
previous step and the next B along the
edge so the rope forms a teardrop shape
(Fig.6, green thread). Reinforce the D
by passing through 2B on the face of the
rope, adding 1B on the other side, and
weaving through beads to exit from the
B above the nearest D (Fig.6, blue
thread). Note: Use this reinforcement
method with all D, continuing to add 1B
opposite the D as you stitch.
Front Wave 2: Work peyote stitches along
the front edge of the rope in the following
stitch order: 1B, 3C four times, 1B, and
1D. Note: This establishes the outer curve
of the second wave on the front of the
work. Reinforce the D, adding 1B on the
other side as before (Fig.6, red thread).
Front Waves 317: Repeat Waves 1 and 2
seven times, then repeat Wave 1.
Front Wave 18: Repeat Wave 2, using 1B
instead of 1D and omitting the rein-
forcement (Fig.7, green thread).
Outside, back: Work 1 stitch with 1D and
reinforce as before, adding 1A between
the 2B along the inside of the loop
(Fig.5, green thread). Work 1 stitch
with 1B and 7 stitches with 2B in each
stitch. Weave through beads to exit
from the nearest B on the inside-back
edge of the loop, away from Cube 10
Inside, back: Work 8 stitches with 1A in
each stitch, pass through the 1A added
when reinforcing the D, then work
1stitch with 1A. Weave through beads
to exit away from the loop from a B
below the D on the front of the rope

Artists Tips
If you find the arch of the wave too narrow for
stringing the beads between waves, pull it
wider with your fingers.
You can use the tip of a screwdriver to guide
the wire between the B beads.
Back Waves 417: Repeat Back Waves 2
and 3 seven times.
Back Wave 18: Repeat Back Wave 2.
Opposite Back Waves: Rotate the bracelet
and repeat Back Waves 118 on the
other edge of the bracelets back, incor-
porating the B that were added to the
first edge as necessary. Secure the
thread and trim.
to the other side of this and the next
wave. Note: The wire will sit behind the
D. If the wire doesnt slip easily through
the cubes, you may need to pull the
beads away from the wire with the help
of a beading needle.
Push the second wire through the center
of the first waves fifth unit (counted
down from the joining unit). Push it
through the rope, string 1B, 1E, and 1B,
and push it forward through the walls of
the next 2 waves. Note: To make it easier
to add the beads between waves, first
push the wire through the rope; string
the B/E/B, hold the last B and the end of
the wire with the nail of your index fin-
ger, and gently push back the wire with
your other hand, taking care so the
beads dont slip down. Place the wire
with the beads into the wave and push it
through the rope. If needed, use flat-
nose pliers to help push/pull the wire.
Continue stringing 1B, 1E, and 1B into
the next wave on both the top and bot-
tom of the bracelet, alternating the
wires by each step (Fig.9). String 1E into
the second end loop; then screw 1 end
cap on the open end of each wire.

Base: Use 4' of conditioned thread to
string the Pacific opal 8mm round
(afocal bead), leaving a 6" tail. Pass
through the bead three more times,
wrapping 2 threads on each side of the
focal bead (Fig.1).
Round 1: String 2D, pass under the
2threads on one side of the focal bead,
and pass back up through the second D
added (Fig.2, blue thread). Continue to
work brick stitch around the circle, add-
ing 1D per stitch for a total of 14D. At
the end of the round, pass down
through the first D added in this round,
pass under the 2 threads, and pass back
up through the first D added in the
round (Fig.2, red thread).

different look. Round, rondelle,
and torpedo-shaped beads work
well. Avoid flat coin- or
oval-shaped beads.

Artists Tips
Cull your peanut beads. The sides around the holes shouldnt be
too thin, or they will break. The more uniform the beads, the
more uniform the result.
The tighter the tension, the firmer the bangle. Wax your thread if
you need help holding tension.
TECHNIQUES
flat and tubular right-angle weave
PROJECT LEVEL
Held together by thread and peanut
and seed beads only, this is the
ultimate seamless, lightweight
bracelet! No armature, stiffening,
or clasp deters this from being the
perfect sculptural project.

1) STRIP. Form the outside of the bangle
with flat right-angle weave:
Rows 18: Use 6' of thread, B, a size 10
beading needle, and tight tension to
right-angle-weave a strip 67 units wide
(or about 10") and 8 rows long.
Note: The number of units across may
vary due to inconsistent bead size, but a
10"wide strip will result in a 2"inside
diameter.
Row 9: Work right-angle weave with B for
the sides and A for the top of each unit
(Fig .1, blue thread).
Row 10: Work right-angle weave with A for
the sides and top of each unit. Weave
through beads to exit from a bottom
bead of Row 1 (Fig. 1, red thread).
Rows 11 and 12: Repeat Rows 9 and 10.
Exit down through a side A of Row 12.
2) JOINS. Connect the ends of the strip to
form a ring, then join into a tube:
Ring join: Making sure the beadwork isnt
twisted, fold the strip so the short ends
touch. String 1A; pass up through the
side A of the mirror unit at the begin-
ning of the strip. String 1A; pass down
through the last A exited at the end of
the strip. Weave through beads to exit
from the side B of the next unit in the
final row (Fig.2 , green thread). String
1B; pass down through the mirror side B
at the beginning of the strip and
through the previous A added, the last

side B exited, the B just added, and the
next side B on the beginning of the strip
(Fig .2, blue thread). Continue in flat
right-angle weave to join the beads into
a ring, using B or A as needed to con-
tinue the established pattern. Exit
from an A at the edge of the ring (Fi g.2,
red thread).
T ube join: If needed to get through the
beads, switch to a size 12 sharp needle.
Fold the long sides of the ring toward
each other. Use tubular right-angle
weave and A to connect Row 12 (now a
round) to Row10 (also now a round)
(Fig.3). Note: The beadwork may seem
stiff, but it wont break. Secure the
thread and trim.

Rounds 12 to end: Repeat Round 5 for
18" or to the desired rope length. *Sew
into the cord near the end of the rope to
secure the beads. Trim the cord as close
to the end of the rope as possible, then
weave a ladder-stitched thread path
through the last round to tighten.
Exit from an A of the final round, away
from the rope end. Use the tail thread
to repeat from * at the other end of
the rope.
Clasp: Use the working thread to string 1B
and one half of the clasp. Pass back
through the B and the opposite A on the
ropes end, pass up through the next A,
then pass through the B and the clasp
(Fig.3). Repeat the thread path several
times to reinforce the connection and
center the B. Secure the thread and trim.
Use the tail thread to repeat this section,
connecting the other half of the clasp to
the other rope end.
2) SMALL BEZEL. Stitch a circular-netted
bezel for a 12mm rivoli:
Round 1: Use 3' of thread to string {1C and
1A} six times; pass through all the beads
again to form a tight circle, leaving a
6" tail. Exit from 1A.
1) ROPE. Use spiral tubular herringbone
stitch to make a rope:
Round 1: Use 3' of thread to form a strip of
ladder stitch 6A long. Stitch the first and
last A together to form a ring (Fig.1).
Exit from the opposite side of the ring
from which the tail exits.
Round 2: String 2A, pass down through
the next A of the previous round, and up
through the following A; repeat twice.
Step up through the first A added in this
round (Fig.2, green thread, beadwork
flattened for clarity).
Rounds 3 and 4: Repeat Round 2 twice
Round 5: String 2A, pass down through
the next A of the previous round and the
A below, then pass up through the next
A of the previous round; repeat twice to
start spiral tubular herringbone stitch.
Step up through the first A added in this
round (Fig.2, red thread).
Rounds 611: Repeat Round 5 six times.
Cord: The rope here measures 18". If mak-
ing a shorter rope, trim the cord so it is
8" longer than the desired length. Tie a
double knot at one end of the cord and
string the beadwork onto it. Tie a double
knot on the other end of the cord.

Artists Tips
For the spiral tubular herringbone
stitch rope, its helpful to use 2-2-1 as
your mantra: pick up 2 beads, pass
down through 2 beads, and pass up
through 1 bead. But remember this
exception: youll need to pass up
through 2 beads in the last stitch for
the step-up.
When working the rope, keep
consistently tight tension to produce
firm beadwork.
K.O. nylon beading thread also works
well for this project.

Artists Tip
You may substitute a round, thin
shoelace for the metallic cord. You
may also use a length of heavy string
or thin nylon-style cord used for
draperies. Its important to use
something inside the rope to give it
strength and body so it doesnt flatten
out. Make sure to keep the cord
straight while beading around it.

the link region when you arrive at them in
these rounds. Set the working thread
aside. Secure the tail thread by passing it
through Round 3 of the first snowflake
several times to secure; trim the tail
thread. Set the bracelet aside.
4) CLASP BAR. Stitch a toggle bar for
the clasp:
Base: Use 4' of thread to string {1F and 1C}
three times. String 1F, 1B, 1E, and 1B,
leaving a 6" tail. Pass through the second
hole of the last F strung. String 1C and
pass through the second hole of the next
F; repeat twice. String 1B, 1E, and 1B;
pass through the first hole of the first F
strung in this section (Fig.5). Repeat
the thread path once to reinforce, again
exiting from the first hole of the first F.
Embellish: String 1D and pass through the
hole of the next F that sits diagonally
from the F just exited; repeat twice to
add a total of 3D to the toggle (Fig.6,
blue thread). Weave through the next
B/E/B/F. Pass through the last D added
and the hole of the next F that sits diag-
onally from the hole exited in the previ-
ous F; repeat twice. Pass through the
next B/E/B/F/C/F (Fig.6, red thread).
Connector: Turn the bar over. String 1B,
1D, and 1B; pass through the hole of the
next F that sits diagonally from the hole
exited in the previous F and the other
hole of this same F (Fig.7, blue thread).

PROJECT LEVEL
MATERIALS

size 11 cylinder beads (A)
10 g silver-lined dark topaz AB size 8
seed beads (B)
1 copper 6 21mm 3-strand magnetic
tube slide clasp
TOOLS

FINISHED SIZE: 6"
Fig. 1: Adding the first ruffle to the base
Give a simple peyote band
excitement and texture
with easy-to-bead ruffles.
1) BASE. Slide a needle to the center of
6'of thread. Form a flat peyotestitched
strip 12A wide and 70 rows long or to half
of the desired length minus the width of
the clasp. Secure this thread and trim.
Use the tail thread to continue working
12A-wide flat peyote stitch off of Row 1
for 70 rows or half of the desired length.
Note: Work with firm tension, but not so
tight that you cant bend the base around
your wrist. Secure the thread and trim.
2) RUFFLES. Peyote-stitch ruffles to the
bracelet base:
Row 1: Start 4' of new thread that exits
from an end A of Row 10. String 1A and
pass through the next A of Row 11;
repeat five times for a total of 6A
Rows 2 and 3: Work 6 peyote stitches
with 1B in each stitch for a total of 2 (or
BW 78-79 Simply Seeds DecJan13.indd 78 10/1/12 4:46 PM

more) rows, allowing the beads to ruffle
(Fig.1, red thread). Weave through the
final row again to reinforce, then weave
through base beads to exit from the end
A of base Row 20.
Repeat Rows 13 on every ninth row
across the base, varying the number,
placement, and width of ruffles as
desired. Secure the thread and trim.
3) CLASP. Attach the clasp and add
end ruffles:
Row 1: Start 2' of new thread that exits out
from the first A of base Row 2. String
1B; pass through the next A of Row 1.
*String the top loop of one half of the
clasp and 1B; pass back through the
same clasp loop and through the next A
of Row 1 (Fig.2, green thread). String
1B; pass through the following A of
Row1. Repeat from * across the row,
Fig. 2: Attaching the clasp and forming a ruffle Fig. 3: Adding the picot edging
connecting the middle and bottom clasp
loop as you go (Fig.2, blue thread).
Work a turnaround and repeat this
thread path twice to reinforce the clasp
connection.
Row 2: String 1B and pass back through
the last B added in Clasp Row 1; repeat
five times for a total of 6B (Fig.2,
redthread).
Row 3: If desired, repeat Clasp Row 2.
Repeat the thread path of the final row
to reinforce; secure the thread and trim.
Note: The ruffle effect of the B will cover
any small gaps in the beadwork when
attaching the clasp, but be sure to
reinforce the thread path on each
side of the loops.
4) EDGING. Start 2' of new thread that
exits from the end A of base Row 2. *String
1A, 1B, and 1A; skip 1A along the edge of
the base, pass down through the next
edgeA, and up through the following
edgeA (Fig.3). Repeat from * along one
edge of the base, then weave through
beads to repeat on the other edge of the
base. Secure the thread and trim.
CAROL MUNDY is now happily addicted to
beading, after collecting beads while traveling for her
oriental rug business and having a friend make two
necklaces from some of these treasures. The
generosity and sharing of the Kansas City Bead Society
members have played a large part in this addiction.

Artists Tips
Thread burners are great for ending
threads. The little melted ball at the
end of the thread end can make
knots more secure, but be very
careful to keep the hot element
away from the base thread.
Try making a bead soup mix of
size 8 beads for a different look
when making the ruffles.
To give the ruffles even more
wave, use more than one bead
in each stitch.
OPTION
Reverse the placement
of seed beads by using
size 8s for the band and
size 11s for the ruffles;
use two size 11s as
one when finishing
the ruffles.

BEAD ALL ABOUT IT!
Michelle Mach
Cloudy with Crystals
Artists Andy Cao and Xavier Perrot collaborated with J. P. Paull of Bodega
Architecture to suspend a hand-sculpted, wire-mesh cloud with 10,000 crystals
over the Arbor Terrace in Dumbarton Oaks Gardens in Washington, D.C. The
crystals are mirrored in a reflecting pool. Twenty-six volunteers helped
construct the project with assistance from Swarovski Elements, who provided
the crystals. The exhibition is open to the public through December 1, 2012.

This summer, Suzann Sladcik Wilson created the last of three beaded butterflies
for a public-art fund-raising project for Rainbow Hospice in Illinois. The
butterflies, which measure about three feet wide by four feet high, are among
the more than sixty artist-decorated butterflies displayed in Park Ridge,
DesPlaines, and Mount Prospect, near Chicago. Each beaded butterfly required
about eighty hours to complete and at least 20,000 beads to cover the fiberglass
butterfly form. In the fall, Suzanns butterflies will be moved to the healing
gardens at Resurrection Hospital in Chicago, where they will remain on
permanent display.

techniques
PAS S T HROUGH VS
PAS S BACK T HROUGH
Pass through means to move the needle in the same direc-
tion that the beads have been strung. Pass back through
means to move the needle in the opposite direction.
F I NI S HI NG AND S TAR T I NG
NE W T HRE ADS
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.
S TOP BE AD
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.
S QUARE KNOT
This knot is the classic sturdy knot suitable for most
stringing materials. Make an overhand knot, passing the
right end over the left end. Make another overhand knot,
this time passing the left end over the right end; pull snug.
F RI NGE
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.
PI COT
A picot is a decorative net, most often made with 3 beads,
used to embellish a beadwork surface.
PE YOT E S T I TCH
For one-drop even-count flat peyote stitch, string
an even number of beads to create the first two rows.
Begin the third row by stringing 1 bead and passing back
through the second-to-last bead of the previous row.
String another bead and pass back through the fourth-to-
last bead of the previous row. Continue adding 1 bead at a
time, passing over every other bead of the previous row.
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.
Begin a midproject peyote-stitch increase by working
a stitch with 2 beads in one row. In the next row, work
1bead in each stitch, splitting the pair of beads in the pre-
vious 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 2 beads 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 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.
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.
BRI CK S T I TCH
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.
To decrease within a row, string 1 bead and skip a loop of
thread on the previous row, passing under the second loop
and back through the bead.
To increase within a row, work 2 stitches in the same
loop on the previous row.
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 2 beads to begin the next round.

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.

L ADDE R S T I TCH
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.
HE RRI NGBONE S T I TCH
Form a foundation row of one- or two-needle even-count
ladder stitch and exit up through the final bead. String
2beads, 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
2beads 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.
Begin tubular herringbone stitch with a foundation ring
of one- or two-needle even-count ladder stitch. String
2beads. 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.
NE T T I NG
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.
For circular netting, string a multiple of 4 beads; pass
through them again to form the foundation round. String
3 beads, skip 3 beads in the foundation round, and pass
through the following bead to form a net; repeat around
the foundation round. Step up for the next round by pass-
ing through the first 2 beads added in this round. *String
3 beads and pass through the center bead of the next net
in the previous round; repeat to connect all the nets from
the previous round. Step up through the first 2 beads
added in this round. Repeat from * to the desired length.
RI GHT - ANGL E WE AVE
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
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.
To begin double-needle right-angle weave, add a needle
to each end of the thread. Use one needle to string
3 beads and slide them to the center of the thread. *Use
one needle to string 1 bead, then pass the other needle
back through it. String 1 bead on each needle, then repeat
from * to form a chain of right-angle-weave units. To turn
at the end of the row, use the left needle to string 3 beads,
then cross the right needle back through the last bead
strung. Use the left needle to string 3 beads, then cross
the right needle back through the last bead strung. To
continue the row, use the right needle to string 2 beads;
pass the left needle through the next bead on the previous
row and back through the last bead strung.
S QUARE S T I TCH
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 string-
ing 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.
WI RE WORKI NG
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 a simple loop, use flat-nose pliers to make
a 90 bend at least " from the end of the
wire. Use round-nose pliers to grasp the
wire at the tip; roll the pliers toward the
bend, but not past it, to preserve the 90
bend. Adjust the pliers as needed to con-
tinue the wrap around the nose of the
pliers. Trim the wire next to the bend.
Open a simple loop by grasping 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 loops shape.

bead artist by Michelle Mach

Netherlands-born Huib Petersen designs bead-
work with an organic feel, often featuring flow-
ers, butterflies, insects, and other nature motifs.
A popular teacher, hes taught both in the United
States and internationally. His work has appeared
in Masters: Beadweaving (Lark Books, 2008) and
Beading Across America (Kalmbach Books, 2011).
Huib lives in San Francisco, California. Visit Huibs
website at www.petersenarts.com.
Q: When you moved from Holland
to San Francisco in 1995, you opened
a gallery. What kinds of things did
you sell?
A: Id left a puppet theater group in Hol-
land, so I was still doing soft sculptures.
I was also trying to become a famous
oil painter, but that didnt work out.
Q: And that was before you discovered
beadwork! Tell me about that.
A: Through the theater, I had done some
clothing design. A friend had asked me to
make her wedding gown, and she gave me
a little sample with some beading. I knew
I wanted to do the same kind of bead-
work. But the first time I went into a bead
store, I walked out. I was so overwhelmed
by all the colors. I did go back and buy
some beads and a magazine with an
article on Russian beadwork. I put the
necklace I made in my shop window and
it sold in a couple of hours. I later took
classes with Cynthia Rutledge.
Q: Does your theater background
help in the classroom?
A: What really helped my teaching was
that I was a caregiver to about twelve
blind children in Holland. The children
would come to the institution on Monday
and leave on Friday. I was their father
figure. Teaching a blind child how to tie
shoelaces is one of the most difficult
things to do. It really taught me patience.
Q: Can you tell me a little about your
design process? How do you start?
A: I buy flowers and pull them apart to
see how they are put together. I also have
plastic insects; they dont break as easily
as the real ones. Sometimes I make draw-
ings before I start, but rarely. Instead, my
sketchbook is a dress model. I make all
my elements separately and then see
where things go, which colors go together.
Q: Do you have favorite beads?
A: Ive done an enormous amount of
Russian leaf stitch, also called diagonal
peyote stitch. I like tubular peyote
because its so three-dimensional. I have
also been using more herringbone and
cubic right-angle weave in the last three
or four years. I like round seed beads
because theyre not as perfectfor
organic work, theyre the best.
