BEAD SOUP
Design challenge
For the challenge this month, we used Eternity Design Frames
by Amoracast (www.amoracast.com) in a variety of shapes
and sizes. The frames have a fluted outer edge that conceals
the perfectly spaced 1 mm holes around the circumference of
the frame. Frames are available at local and online bead stores.
Here is what our editors and a B&B reader came up with.
(These ideas are for your inspiration; instructions are not available.)
Cassie
I made earrings using mostly seed beads
and pearls. It was so much fun exploring
ways to add beads while taking advan-
tage of the holes in the frame. I really
appreciate how the frame holes help pave
Jimmie Boatright the way for unique design possibilities.
(B&B reader)
I have been playing with tubular spacers
in my designs lately so I incorporated them
into my frame to give it more dimension
and texture. An assortment of beads, crys-
tals, and seed beads finish off the design.
Connie
I decided to embellish the larger
round frame using Rulla beads,
crystals, and seed bead picots
Julia on the outside edge. I used an

of stitched beadwork so I worked up
a short piece of square stitch that is
five beads wide and 16 rows long.
I then secured it inside the frame by
sewing through the holes in the frame,
adding seed beads along the edge
as I stitched the beadwork in place.

beading provides an opportunity to relax and recharge. I like working with
my hands. I can shut off my mind when I bead and just enjoy what Im doing.
Beading also gave Ptacek an opportunity to reach out to others through
donations at the rehab facility where her husband (fellow horror writer
Charles Grant) stayed during a long illness. People could donate items that
the patients all on vents could select as gifts at Christmas time for their
