Sad news
Here at Bead we were very saddened to learn of the sudden passing away of
Pat Neeve in February. Pat was an exceptional beader, who had won many
awards for her work. She was an active member of the Ermine Street Beaders in
Peterborough and had many friends. Pat was an adventurer with crafts and as
well as her mathematically inspired beadwork, her needlelace and freeform
crochet was second-to-none. She will be greatly missed.

Strung core
1. I picked up (1A, 4D, 1 clasp, 5D) on about 0.5m
(20 inches) of Fireline/WildFire and stitched back
through the A bead. My core beads have large holes
and I want the loop to stay outside the core beads and
provide a connection point to join on the netting - so I
picked up 1D and stitched back up through the A bead
as in Diagram 1 (A bead shown blue, D shown aqua). I
double stitched and added another two D beads in the
same way. String your preferred number of core beads
and attach the other part of the clasp as above.
For the chunky magnetic clasp I used 2 loops of D
beads through the cross bars of
the clasp; note that you will need
to unthread your needle and make
a small J shaped hook of your
thread end to pass it under

Cylinder beads such as
Miyuki Delicas have larger
holes for their size than
other seed beads and are
used in this project to
provide a conduit for
additional thread paths.
Finishing off
9. Slide your core beads into the tubular netting and
join the two together at the clasp as in Diagram 6
through the D beads added at step 1. Stitch round the
edge of the netting and attach the next netting (1B, 1C,
1B) group to the next clasp D bead. Repeat, double
stitch and then double stitch through the three main
netting (1B, 1C, 1B) groups that are joined to the clasp;
fasten and neaten thread.
inspiration
I was inspired by the costumes whilst watching an
episode of 'The Borgias'- in particular a stunning
padded velvet jacket with diamond slits, showing off
bright silk underneath. I realised I could get a similar
effect with embellished netting and Miracle beads.

toptips
For this tutorial, the
side panels were
designed as a tweed
effect, however you
can use whatever
style you choose.
You can use only
Delicas or just size 11
round beads for a
smooth look.
For six beads
across you will need
seven warped threads.
Edging
11. You cuff is now ready for the edging. This will
complete the overall look of the design I always edge
my cuffs whilst they are attached to the loom. This is a
simple picot edge. I use Size 8 Miyuki seed beads (to
match the inner channel), size 11 Miyuki seed beads
and size 15 Miyuki seed beads.
14. Cut the piece from the loom. Attach the ribbon
clasp onto both ends using a small amount of glue and
closing with chain nose pliers. Secure your clasp to one
end and attach your chain to the other, or create a
chain using jump rings. To complete the design, create
drops or dangles using Swarovski crystals, to be
attached to the chain.

toptips
When making the
top bead dangles
ensure the topmost
bead is no larger than
4mm otherwise the
chain will not fall
correctly.
8. Open the end loop on the left side of the central pin
holding the bead dangles of the bottom half together.
Thread on the remaining chain end from the top half
created in step 5. Thread on 1 x 7cm length of chain.
Close the loop. Repeat for the second earring.
To make the
construction a little
easier, hang the
earrings on a glass or
similar by the ear wire
when completing
steps 9 and 10.
Transform into
an evening look by
replacing the coloured
beads with silver and
black beads or crystals.

inspiration
A couple of years ago my husband and I visited
the Hampton Court Flower show. What stuck in
my mind, apart from the wonderful brick chimney
stacks on the Palace, were the orderly rows and
intricately detailed ower heads of the Alliums.

toptips
When reducing a
cane, keep it to a
manageable size by
cutting it in half
whenever it gets more
than about 8cm long.
Then just reduce one
half as required.
If you nd it hard to
reduce a cane in a
diamond shape, roll it
until it reaches the
correct diameter rst,
and cut off a piece
about 4cm long. Cut
off both the ends so
you can clearly see
where the pattern is,
and then pinch both
sides down the whole
length to create a
diamond shaped
cane.
Keep twisting the
cocktail stick as you
push it through the
clay, and let this
twisting motion and
the point of the stick
do the work for you.
Hold the clay as lightly
as possible in your
ngers, and this way
you should be able to
get good movement
through the clay
without distortion.

inspiration
To me, daffodils are the harbingers of spring, so
when asked to think about spring owers, they
were the obvious choice. Obviously daffodils are
fairly standard in colour, but you can alter the
intensity of the yellows, make less difference
between the petal and trumpet colours, or you can
go down the narcissus route, and use a paler petal
with orange trumpet.
Variation
If you want to use fishhook earring findings instead of
studs, make a small loop of clay between the 2 discs
over a cocktail stick, and keep the stick in place until
you are ready to cook your earrings.

The lower left side of the bow
The lower left side is made in the same way the top left
side of the bow, with a slight change in the pattern. In
order to make the pattern easier to read, the lower left
side rows are called -1, -2 and so on until -11 which
forms the lower tip.
11. On row -3, add 1B, 3C, 1B and 1A. Pass through
the A bead on row -2, make a loop around the thread
and pass back through the A bead just passed, as well
as the last A added. Work row -4 by adding 1A, 1B and
3C. See Diagram 10.
Diagram 13.
15. Now you will form the tip of the bottom left hand
side. Keep the thread tensioned while working. You
should be exiting from the A on row -9, make a loop
around the thread and pass back through the A just
passed, as well as the last A added. Add 1A, then pass
through all A beads on the lower right side of the
inverse pyramid. See Diagram 14.

the first two rows of Peyote. For row 3, peyote 7A. Turn
by passing the needle between two A on the lower left
hand side bow, around the thread, and pull the thread
tight, pass back through the last A bead strung. Work
row 4 by adding 1A and 5B.
22/02/2013 22:00
Finishing up
The last touch is to add a ribbon over the middle of the
bow. This is made in Right Angle Weave and Peyote.
toptips
Keep a tight thread
needle, add 2C. Pass the right needle through the same
beads from the other direction, crossing the threadpaths
inside the beads. Add 1A on each needle, and 2C on
the left needle. Pass the right needle through the 2C,
crossing again. Repeat one more time.
Alternate between
coloured and silver/
gold size 15 beads on
the middle and the
edges, to make the
sections of the bows
stand out.

motifs and then join the ends together, creating the 5th
side as you go (or you could join these 2 sides now for
a triangular box).
23. Work steps 2-8 but each small 3 bead loop will

toptips
These beads are
encased twice, after
the variegated vine
application and after
the owers are
created, to separate
owers from the
branches and to add
more depth.
12. Put tiny dots of dark amber on top and around the
centre of ivory flowers. Again, these are emphasis dots.
Melt all the tiny emphasis dots into the middle of both
the ivory and the yellow flowers.
While making
indentations for the
bubbles, be careful to
maintain the shape of
the owers. I spot
heat the centre of the
rst ower, make an
indentation and then,
instead of working
with the ower next to
it, I turn the bead and
spot heat the centre
of the ower on the
opposite side: this
gives time for the rst
half of the bead to
cool down a little.

Beetle drive
Could you please let me know if the Hippie Beadle in Issue 44 is available
anywhere as a kit or pattern? It is one of the nicest things I've seen. I love
the VW Beetle, I had three!
I love looking at all the lovely things in your magazine and can't wait for
them to come out.
Sue Whitby
Editor Responds
We're glad you loved Anna
Lindell's fun 'Beadle' in her
profile. We asked her about
it and unfortunately the
pattern isn't available, she
said: "The Beadle is a
freehand project, I stitched
one bead at a time, switching between size 11 Delicas and size 15 seed beads to
make the beading fit around the body of the model car." Look out for more of
Anna's projects though in future issues, as well as her lovely Magdalena's Bows
in this issue.
What are
you beading?
You can talk to us on Facebook,
Twitter and on our Bead Blog!

We love the colour combination that Kerry
has used, mint is really popular right now
and perfect for spring!
