In the end I just got too busy to keep up with weekly posts which required a fair amount of effort in order to bring you directions each week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">My colleagues all did a stellar job of contributing and you all did an amazing job of beading some really fun projects!</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">For now we'll be stopping as each of us leads busy lives and we need to turn our focus back to our respective businesses.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">We thank you for being here and for participating. The content will remain at least for now, so if you have a favorite you haven't beaded yet, you may want to make a copy. Thank you, Marcia</span><br />

<i><span style="color: #45818e;">Met's engineering skills always shine through her designs. CRAW hearts seem to be the norm, but here Met gives us a peyote version where the placement of beads creates the shape. I love a project that can be done fairly quickly which also provides some learning and can be made in different sizes. Thanks Met! Marcia</span></i><br />

<i><span style="color: #45818e;">Linda has been a friend for many years now. As so often is the case, we became familiar with one another on Facebook. Then we got to meet in person at Bead and Button where one's passion for beads often comes together with others. Then I was lucky enough that she moved not far away and we got to bead together on a regular basis. I admire Linda's breadth of mediums and it's been my pleasure to watch some of her bigger art pieces develop. Here she gives us a tiled bracelet with the sentiment that started it all.....LOVE!

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I find that with beading, one idea often leads
to another idea.

thought it might be a good project (skipping the resin part) for my beading
group. I hadn't yet taught them odd count peyote and it looked like a fun project.</span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">I used the software program BeadTool to create my own 1 inch
square design <u>using size 11° Delica beads</u>. To make the beadwork
fit inside a 25mm square pendant, the width of my beadwork used 19 Delica beads
and the length used 15 Delica beads. After
beading, it is turned to fit the correct way inside the pendant and glued in place. I gave the beaders peyote graph paper and they had a choice to design their own initial, or use the breast cancer awareness ribbon design I created for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">While I was beading up a sample of my initial L for the class, the
thought came to me that I could also create the letters O, V and E and make a
LOVE bracelet for my Bead Love project. Since each letter component is
approximately 1" square, four would not be long enough for a bracelet, so
I also created a heart design and added a few rows to connect the squares.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><b>Odd count peyote</b> patterns allow for designs to be symmetrical on
both sides of a center line. But because there is not an even number of
beads in each row, it is necessary to do a special turn around on one side of
the peyote beadwork. There are several You Tube videos available to watch
to show you how to do the turn around.
Google "odd count peyote" to find them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bracelet is made with <u>size 11° Delica beads, 6 lb fireline
and a size 11 needle</u>. A Bead Legend
and Chart, as well as a Word Chart for the heart and for each LOVE letter follows. Each
design begins on the upper left hand side, and each row begins and ends with a
black bead. Even though the diagrams show each component separately, It
is not necessary to bead them separately.
When finished with one, simply continue on with the next, noting that
Rows 1 and 2 will be added separately. The heart and four letters spelling LOVE all
connected will be approximately 5 1/2" (14cm) long. If the bracelet needs to be longer, it's easy
to add another heart square at the other end, or add additional beads to each
end of the bracelet. Remember that your clasp will also add to the length
of your bracelet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Calibri;">A bit of history about the LOVE KNOT:</span></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The term true lover’s knot, also called true love knot is used for many distinct knots. The association of knots with symbolism of love, friendship and affection dates back to antiquity.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; line-height: normal;"><sup></sup></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Knots in jewelry and their particular focus as a symbol of eternity and love are rare ancient concepts that span both the East and West. We’re blessed with how prolific they are in mourning and sentimental items for the very nature of their symbolism, but their appearance in different permutations in cultures is ubiquitous and strangely correlating with concurrent meanings.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; line-height: normal;"><sup></sup></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">There are quite a few variations on the knot, one of the more popular being the Celtic knot, which is dated to around 450 CE, which is often referred to as the “mystic knot” or the “endless knot”. In this, there is the allusion to birth and rebirth. The expression “tying the knot” is thought to be where the couple had their hands bound in an endless knot as part of the wedding ritual.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Calibri; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Then there is the knot as a primary focus, which is very typical in rings and necklaces. The knot is most often seen with the Celtic influences, but many second-half 19</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; line-height: normal;"><sup>th</sup></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> century rings retained a knot motif, often seen as a twist, in various styles and materials. Knots in necklaces were also popular from the 1860’s onwards, with the necklace itself twisting into a knot around the chest. Chains were also tied into the concept of knots, used in bracelets, necklaces, links in fob chains and other items as well.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 7.3px; line-height: normal;"><sup></sup></span></div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><i>I have the extremely good fortune to have many friends in the bead world and it's always fun to spend time with them. I will always remember when I first began seeing the name Sabine Lippert. Her designs were beautifully executed, with a strong design sense, wonderful coloration and oh man, she was so prolific. I remember writing her and saying something close to 'Who the heck are you?' I laugh at those early days and memories. She of course continued to excel and in short order we met at her first Bead and Button. She's crazy fun in person and we've continued our friendship ever since. For two beaders who live on opposite sides of the world we manage to see each other a couple of times a year, pretty amazing! One of my great pleasures of the bead community is spending time with other beaders. As Sabine will tell you below it's one of hers as well. Marcia</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="">
Do you love beads?</div>
<div class="">
Yes! Definitively yes!</div>
<div class="">
Well…. this is only a piece of glass with a hole (or two or three). You could also say I love vases or windows, hey, windows are even bigger pieces of glass, so what is so special about beads?</div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
I have to confess, that I have not a real good answer to this. All I can say is, that when it comes to beads, I cannot stop drooling about their colors, their shapes, their looks. When I open a drawer full of beads, my mind starts working, starts arranging them in this or that shape, stitch, order, number.</div>
<div class="">
I can talk to someone and suddenly an idea pops up and my mind is gone with the wind… beading!</div>
<div class="">
You don’t find beaders at every corner of the city, but once you find them, you do not hesitate to travel for hours to meet them.</div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
When I first time came to Bead and Button show, the officer at the immigration asked me what the purpose of my visit was. I told him where I am going, he was looking at me like, "All the way over the ocean to meet some people who share your hobby?“</div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
Well…. non beaders will never understand.</div>
<div class="">
The first local meeting of beaders (this is now over 10 years ago) was a fun experience. I just learned how to do bead crochet. Now I saw all the other women, making a show and tell, bringing all their beaded beauties, I saw Peyote, Herringbone and RAW designs for the first time and was lost! At the end of the day, I could make a drawing of every single piece I saw, I could tell you who knew which technique, but I had no single personal information about the women.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="">
Usually when you meet other people, the first thing is "What is your job, where do you live? Are you married? Kids?"</div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
None of that, when you are with beaders. It is one of these places in the world, where the only thing that counts is your desire for beads.</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
11 years ago I started beading. I was frustrated in my daily job for many reasons. Often I came home in the evening, angry, sad and upset. I closed my door, dropped my bags and jacket and started beading. Within minutes my anger disappeared and I was in the middle of my rainbow unicorn fairy world of beads. It was so soothing and still is. When stress gets too overwhelming, I meditate with my beads. </div>
<div class="">
<br /></div>
<div class="">
When I quit my daily job as a physician years ago to completely dive into the beading world, my former boss asked me "What on earth did you go to university for?"</div>
<div class="">
I said "It helps me to write nice instructions" but deep inside I just thought "You will never understand, so why bother to explain".</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
Do you remember the first Rivoli you bezeled? With neat Peyote stitch, do you remember being proud as a peacock? As a teacher I am in the position to see this facial expression in every workshop I make. And that is priceless!</div>
<div class="">
<br class="" /></div>
<div class="">
Yes I love beads, I love beading, I love all the friends and friendships that beading brought in my life.</div>

A concept started three years ago by the Beadworkers Guild in England. They asked if I'd be willing to be an NBW Ambassador and of course I said yes! Sharing more bead love out in the world. This is what I wrote on their website in the way of introduction.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #7f6000;">National Beading week! What could be better?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Open Sans'; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<span style="color: #7f6000;">This is a wonderful initiative by The Beadworkers Guild. It showcases how the beads unite so many of us worldwide. The Guild first came to my attention when the lovely Heather Kingsley-Heath contacted me for an article. I've since had the pleasure of meeting many members both online and in person. The breadth of knowledge and creativity is deep and this idea to create a week long focus on beadwork is brilliant. I am happy to be a small part of this excellent endeavor!</span></div>
<span style="color: #45818e;">Heather is of course one of our contributors here as well. She recently gave us <a href="http://lovebeadlove.blogspot.com/2017/06/magic-chain-heather-kingsley-heath.html">the magic chain</a> to go along with her <a href="http://www.nationalbeadingweek.co.uk/Downloads.php">beady peeps </a> she released for National Beading Week.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;">I started this blog with the thought that the world needed more LOVE and thus were born the LOVE letters where I literally beaded LOVE. So many of you joined in and it was wonderful to see all the beautiful and creative design variations.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;">I followed on with HOPE so between HOPE and LOVE we have the P and the E. Since the world needs PEACE as well as love and hope I am releasing the letters A and C. I've chosen to do that over on the <a href="http://www.nationalbeadingweek.co.uk/">National Beading Week website</a> so we could all join in the fun and share one another's content. Beaders worldwide are a generous group and you'll find lot's of free content and interesting projects in both places. If you haven't visited there is a lot going on over there!</span><br />

You'll also find a link to the P and E should you need them. and <a href="http://www.nationalbeadingweek.co.uk/Downloads.php">here</a> for lot's of other patterns the members are sharing. </span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;">And with PEACE on my mind I do want to share with you another endeavor happening over on my blog. Mark and I began beading Peace signs with the thought of being able to raise money for Alzheimers research. We are releasing a tutorial for the Peace sign as well as selling some finished peace signs. The entire sale price of both the peace signs and the tutorial will be donated. You can find out more<a href="http://maddesignsbeads.blogspot.com/2017/08/peace.html"> here.</a></span><br />

These darling sparkly earrings will be a must do earring in many different colors. I love an earring that can be considered bead neutral, in other words I can easily combine it with other bead work I may be wearing and it will compliment easily without competing. I see a few pairs of these in my future!</i></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">The spiritual practice of shamanism teaches us we are all part of the great web of life. Everything is connected, and every action affects something, somewhere. Every thing has its role in the universe, whether it is an insect, animal, microorganism, rock or even human. Viewing the Earth from space shows that we are all one, we are the Earth. When you understand this, you will learn to honor all life on the planet and beyond.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I try to reflect this in my beadwork; I try to honor all of life and all species. I have always felt my work has a message to tell, a feeling to express. My love of animals is something I am very passionate about. Unfortunately animals can’t speak out about losing the land they call home, polluted water or global warming. They live in the moment, they have to adapt to what ever comes their way. Some species will vanish, and some species will adapt. The Earth gives every living thing what it needs to live upon her, water, air, sunlight, plant medicine, food and so much beauty. Without these valuable resources we will vanish, so please take a moment to think about that before you hop in your car to drive a block away, or water your lawns on a hot summer day, or spray deadly chemicals on a dandelion.</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I want to share a simple project (it can be made as a pendant, brooch, or even a bracelet) that will allow you to honor an animal. First, take a moment to just be with yourself and think about an animal that best reflects you. Is it an animal that has always shown up in your life? Perhaps, an animal that you are attracted too? Maybe you have something in common with an animal. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">In this project we will be using a plastic animal that can be found at your local toy store. I like the Schleich animals. You can purchase them at some local stores (Michaels, Target), or online at <a href="http://www.happyhentoys.com/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">http://www.happyhentoys.com</span></a>. I feel they all have their own personality. If you can find them at a store then you can pick the one that speaks to you. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Once you have the animal you want to work with, you will be cutting the head off. It is best to use a vice to hold the animal while sawing. I feel a coping saw works best. If you cut the head off at an angle it gives the animal a more life like feel to it. After the head is off, use scissors to cut off any rough edges, then smooth out the back with sandpaper. You can use the left over animal and perhaps chop a paw of to use in your designs, or have fun with it by gluing another head onto the body and decorating it.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I like to use ultra suede for my bead embroidery foundation. But use whatever material you prefer, make sure that it is a material that doesn’t unravel after cutting it, such as leather or felt. Cut a piece that will be big enough for your project to grow on. I use a non-permanent maker and mark centerlines horizontally and vertically to help with placement. You can also add sidelines to help keep your piece balanced. I use a 2-part epoxy to glue my components on. The lion I used is looking upward, this made her look like she was gazing at something. Play with the placement of the head to see how it changes the animal’s mood. After the glue has dried, use the backstitch to add a row or two of beads around your head. The backstitch is explained at the end of this blog.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Fur adds a wonderful texture and look to your work. When using fur always cut from the back using a utility knife. Also keep the direction of the fur in mind when cutting. Do you want the fur to hang down, up, or opposite? It can be tricky to use especially when you want both sides to be symmetrical. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">People often ask me if I feel good about using fur in my pieces. If I love animals how could I support using fur? I don’t kill animals for fur; I use fur that would otherwise be thrown away. I feel that if an animal is killed every part of it should be honored and used. Every time I use a piece of fur I thank the animals whose fur I am using. A small piece of fur goes along way, so it doesn’t take much. I use Aleene’s Thick Tacky Glue to glue the fur down. In some applications I also stitch the fur down, with Nymo size B thread. I have noticed that some thread pulls the fur through the foundation, making it hard to use. You will need to keep an eye on your thread to make sure it doesn’t tack the fur down. You can use your needle to pull the fur back up on top.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Once the fur was glued into place, I stitched a metal component between the fur. I didn’t use a stone or component that would be glued on top of the fur, because I felt it would be flopping around rather than firmly in place. By using a component that had holes I could stitch it down. If I wanted a stone I would have glued it to suede, beaded around it, trimmed it, then glued and stitched it into place. Next, I sometimes add additional beading or components, before trimming the foundation.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Many people are afraid to trim the foundation because they might cut a thread. Don't panic! You can always sew the beads back down. I trim my foundation even with the outside edge of the beadwork. You need enough foundation to work with when beading the edging.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Cut a backing for your piece to add some stiffness. Trace your work on a piece of cardboard (such as a cereal box). Cut the cardboard about 3mm smaller than your piece, so you don't have to bead through the cardboard. Glue the cardboard lining to the back of your foundation and beadwork using Aleene’s Thick Tacky Glue. Next, glue this to your suede backing and trim the excess suede. </span></div>

The edging holds the piece together by stitching the foundation and the backing together. If your piece is to be a pendant, attach a bail to the top. If you want a brooch, glue a pin back to the back. You may also want to add some fringe or a stone dangle. Maybe talk to the animal and see what they want to have hanging off of them. You can also add a gemstone on the back of your piece to bring you healing. </span></div>

For the love of animals, try not to get pulled into the unconscious thought process of ego and greed. Take a moment in your day to realize how lucky we are to be able to experience this amazing planet and that it is our duty to care for all species.</span></div>

This tutorial was inspired by Chris Prussing’s <a href="https://www.bead-patterns.com/beadpattern/multicolor-crystal-puffy-heart-pattern"><i>Puffy Heart</i></a> and Marcia De Coster’s <a href="http://lovebeadlove.blogspot.com/2017/01/l-is-for-love-by-marcia-decoster.html"><i>Love Letters</i></a>, stitched with right angle weave (RAW) and cubic RAW. I wrote this tutorial expressly to be given freely on this Bead Love blog, a blog of inspirations on love and beads. I have been so inspired by so many other wonderful designers in the bead weaving community, and this is a little way for me to say "thank you" to all of you who have inspired me. Here you can learn to bead hearts and the letters in LOVE with just one size of seed beads in two colors. Since you only need one bead size, you can use any size you want. The hearts above use 15° or 11°. The heart below uses 8° on the back (shown) and 3 mm bicone crystals on the front.<br />

<br />
This tutorial starts with step-by-step instructions for weaving hearts using a stitch that I call super right angle weave (SRAW) because of its relationship to RAW. Both SRAW and RAW are made with loops of four beads, but SRAW also has loops of eight. You can learn more about SRAW on my blog, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/at%20http://gwenbeads.blogspot.com/2012/11/pondo-stitch-vs-super-right-angle-weave.html">gwenbeads</a>. This tutorial ends with charts for the letters in LOVE to get you started using SRAW to weave an alphabet. What better place to start, anything really, than with love?<br />
<br />
<b>Materials</b><br />
One size of seed beads in two colors<br />
Beading Thread<br />
Beading Needle<br />
<br />
<b>SRAW Puffy Hearts in 3 Sizes</b><br />
The smallest heart uses size 15° seed beads. The medium heart uses size 11° plus other beads for the arrow and hanger. The largest heart I made uses metal size 8° seed beads on both sides and 3 mm Swarovski bicone beads on the front. This large heart has 2 mm holes, making them large enough for a thin cord or chain. Of course, you could use plastic pony beads or even larger bead to make beaded hearts as large as you want.<br />
<br />
<b>Seed Bead Size Heart Size<br /> Height x Width x Thickness</b><br />
15° 16 mm x 19 mm x 4 mm<br />

1. Use moderately tight tension all the way through this project. Don’t apply a death grip, but snug is good. Figure 1 shows the chart for the heart up through loop 61. This chart is explained in detail in steps 2 through 12. After you complete the 61 loops in Figures 1 and 12, you can skip to step 13.<br />

2. Thread your needle. Loop 1: Pick up 4R. Pass through the first two beads again in the same direction to make a loop. Slide the beads down the thread leaving a tail that is long enough to rethread and weave into the beadwork. <br />
Loops 2-3: * Pick up <br />
• 5 beads: G, 4 R.<br />
Pass through the first R you just picked up. Repeat from *. <br />
Loop 4: Pick up<br />
• 3 beads: G R G.<br />
Close the loop by passing through the 2nd R bead in the first loop. Then pass through 3 beads: G RR to position yourself to start the next stitch. You just stitched an irregular starting unit of SRAW.<br />

17. Stitch around the top of the heart, using the thread path shown in figure 14, but do not add any beads this time. The extra thread will balance the weave and help the beads sit straight. <br />
<br />
18. Weave the last little bit by stitching the thread path shown in figure 13, but going in the opposite direction, and do not add any beads. <br />
Note. Start from the red bead near the arrow.<br />
<br />
19. Tie off by weaving both ends of thread through the loops of beadwork. You don’t generally need to tie knots in SRAW if you secure your ends by weaving through 5 or 6 loops. <br />

Below are the charts to get you started, but I'm not going to tell you how to do the zips. You will have to figure out how to do that part yourself. Think of them as little puzzles. One of the things I have always enjoyed about bead weaving different designs is that they are each their own little puzzle, and when you solve it, you win that thing. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimUJKgrzOxCsH0sEW3Tvc8ishlkWISwdNpmEsVw6Q-qHWNBnZ1cEvj95gxZboWyyC-wVZdwafbcQ2NLgYWZ4Tb2DLscLnxhCzvs3WEEjDIopVTEGvJc9B0msMKsexg-ENpHrsC6XIEtmQ/s1600/IMG_3218.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="1000" height="491" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimUJKgrzOxCsH0sEW3Tvc8ishlkWISwdNpmEsVw6Q-qHWNBnZ1cEvj95gxZboWyyC-wVZdwafbcQ2NLgYWZ4Tb2DLscLnxhCzvs3WEEjDIopVTEGvJc9B0msMKsexg-ENpHrsC6XIEtmQ/s640/IMG_3218.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

As a trained chemist and a geeky beader, I decided that I wanted to talk about beaded jewelry depicting oxytocin, AKA "the love molecule."<br />
<br />

<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin" target="_blank">Oxytocin</a> is involved in many biological processes. It's a peptide hormone that's made in the brain, and when it acts on the brain, some studies have shown that it's involved in bonding, intimacy, and stress reduction. However, like love itself, oxytocin's role in social behaviors is likely quite complicated, as it's just one of many brain chemicals involved in these complex emotions.<br />
<br />
Oxytocin's physiological effects are more well-understood, especially when it comes to reproduction. It's released into the bloodstream during sex in both men in women. It's also released during breastfeeding, where it causes the milk "let down" reflex. During labor and childbirth, oxytocin causes uterine contractions which help to move the baby down the birth canal. Interestingly, while oxytocin is involved in so many processes, this is one of the few areas where it's used as a medicine; a synthetic version (called Pitocin) is given via IV during labor induction.<br />
<br />
(While I'm on the subject, shortly after I committed to this love chemistry project it took on a dual, personal meaning for me, as I soon learned that I was pregnant with my first child. We're due next month and we couldn't be more excited!)<br />
<br />

<br />
To make a beaded version of oxytocin, I decided to use a technique that I've used to make other beaded molecules in the past; it's a combination of the fringe and netting stitches, with a portion that's sort of a variation on CRAW. During this process, we work up and down the entire length of the molecule, adding beads to each atom as we work. For a molecule like oxytocin this can get quite complicated, but the important part is that we end up with a chemically-accurate 3D version of the molecule that looks and moves just like the real version.<br />
<br />
I used a combination of color-coded bicone crystals and Japanese seed beads to depict the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms in the molecule, while just Japanese seed beads depict the smaller hydrogen atoms. Japanese bugle beads depict the bonds that connect the atoms together.<br />
<br />
My first version of beaded oxytocin uses IUPAC coloring, which is a standard colorway that chemists use to depict beaded molecules. We use black for the carbon atoms, red for oxygen atoms, blue for nitrogen atoms, yellow for sulfur atoms, and white for hydrogen atoms and the bonds in between the atoms. The type of molecule will determine how the colors look in the finished piece. Since oxytocin is a "peptide," many of its atoms are carbon atoms, but it also has several nitrogen and oxygen atoms that sit evenly along the length of the molecule. Therefore, its colors are evenly distributed throughout the piece, and its two sulfur atoms provide just a dash of yellow.<br />
<br />
By following all these guidelines, we get a piece of beadwork measuring approximately 8 inches long which contains a couple of ring structures, several branches, and both sulfur atoms just near the center of the molecule.<br />
<br />

<br />
I was pleased to see that the structure of oxytocin lends itself nicely to a necklace form. So, for my second version, I centered the three long branches in the middle of the necklace, and I attached a drop crystal off of each one for a nice artistic accent. I wanted to choose colors that would represent the themes of love and birth without necessarily being exclusive to either theme (I'd like to wear this necklace long after I'm done being pregnant!), so I went with a palette of jewel tones and metals; purple for carbon and siam AB2X for oxygen to represent love, emerald for nitrogen to represent birth and growth, the elegant gold aurum 2X for sulfur, and sterling silver for hydrogen and the bonds.<br />

<br />
Since beaded oxytocin isn't long enough for a complete necklace, I wove a finishing chain with simple beaded water molecules. Jump rings connect the water molecules to each other and to the oxytocin molecule.<br />

I'm happy with how this piece turned out, and every time I wear it I'll think about what Bead Love means to me. In addition to my love of chemistry, geeky jewelry, and my growing family, I love how beading as an art form allows for such a diverse range of expression.

A simple idea to share the bead love has grown into an international success. National Beading week was started by the Beadworkers Guild in Britain. The aim was simple, to support our local bead stores, beading group and each other. How? by having a beading party, a bead group day, a special in store class, or just invite the curious to sit and bead. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
The Guild invited ambassadors to help spread the word, bead artists and store owners came up with fun events, free patterns, bead alongs, competitions and ask an expert bead clinics. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Last year there were bead bombings complete with beaded bunting, parties, fundraiser days for favourite charities, ‘bring a beginner’ days and lots and lots of sharing the fun and bead love via social media.</div>

If thread tension is an issue pass through the ring of C and D beads again pulling tight as you go, (making sure that thread passes through the hole of the A and B ring again). </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
The ring of C and D beads should sit like a link in a chain, with only a tiny bit of thread between them where two rings meet. If the threads can slip between the beads of either ring, the optical illusion of separate rings will be lost.</div>

With links of two colours you will need to hold the beadwork in the same direction each time, otherwise the colour sequence will reverse itself. </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
This is not an issue if the beads of each half of the link are the same. <span style="color: #00fdff;"><i> </i></span><br />

Suggestions:</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Now you have the basic technique, it’s time to play. Yu can make links using any combination of beads, all sizes of seed beads, crystals, o beads, pearls, etched glass beads, drops etc.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
To keep track, just decide the combination for the first half of the ring and repeat it for the second half.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Mix ring sizes, small and large to change the scale of your Magic Chain.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Try new to you colour combinations and see what happens.</div>
<div style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal;">
Mix bead finishes like matt and shiny, metallic and opaque.</div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"><i>Having had Leah's mother Joyce in more than one bead class over the years, I can tell you this story brought a tear to my eye. I remember her long white hair, her big jewelry and her tenacity with her beadwork. I also got to witness the tenderness with which Leah cared for her mom as she got older. It is such a wonderful gift when art brings families together. I've had a few mother and daughter bead 'teams' over the years and it's always memorable. These beaded fish vests are a wonderful expression of Joyce's art. Marcia</i></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Born the only child of two artistic parents, I grew up without boredom. My parents exposed me to many different mediums at an early age. I threw pots on the wheel, made a ceramic mosaic coffee table that I still use today and I experimented with wirework. I made my fair share of woven potholders and embroidered felt Christmas ornaments. I glazed a bowl so uniquely (by accident) that the instructor was amazed and unable to figure out what I did. My dad, a silversmith, offered to teach me how to tufa cast and bezel silver; I looked at his rough hands and said, “No.” My mom offered embroidery and sewing, knitting and crocheting. The first two took; the second two did not.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
After twenty years of cross stitch and crewel, I settled into making heavily embroidered soft sculpture nativities and ornaments, which I sold at craft shows. But after several years, I felt a desire for sparkle. I found beads, and it was the beginning of the end!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
I began making jewelry. Nothing elaborate, just simple beaded bracelets and necklaces. But I couldn’t stop buying beads! I discovered that it was a simple crossover from embroidery to bead embroidery and I took that path. Mom was intrigued, but couldn’t understand why I liked beading more than embroidering, more than knitting and sewing. So I began to give her small bags and tubes of beads in her favorite colors (orange, red, purple) for her birthday, Mother’s Day, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s Day, Christmas. Every holiday was an occasion to spread bead love. She would frown and say, “What am I supposed to do with these?” I would say, “You’ll figure it out!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
When I began teaching beadwork in the mid-90’s, she insisted on going with me to bead shows as “my chaperone.” She also began taking classes. Her first was with Robin Berry, who was the perfect teacher for an older woman who had never seriously beaded before.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
Soon Mom was taking classes with all the best teachers and enjoying my trips more. More often than not, she finished the pieces. They weren’t always perfect, but she enjoyed making them and many times gave them to her friends as gifts. She traveled with me to Tucson several times for the Gem and Mineral Show and bought beads and crystals and anything else that sparkled. She loved drusy, crystals and pearls.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
By her early 80’s, she had arthritis, vertigo and macular degeneration; she later had a heart valve transplant, got a Pacemaker and fought off breast cancer. But through it all, she beaded. And then, one day I asked to see what she was doing. “No,” she said firmly. “You have to wait until I’m done.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
So I impatiently waited… and was rewarded by Mom combining two of her loves: sewing and beading. A Pisces, Mom loved fish. So she made an appliquéd vest, with semi-bead embroidered fish all over it… in her new favorite colors, purple and green! Beautifully constructed and lined with silk, it always drew attention when she wore it.</div>

But Mom was not done. She wanted a vest where the fish were solidly embroidered, so the second vest was born. I need to tell you that I thought she was insane. She used primarily 15/0s! The smaller the bead, the better, was her mantra. I watched as this vest came to life and I was amazed. It was even more beautiful than the first! She used vintage nailheads for fish eyes, silky ribbon for kelp and vintage glass “bubbles”.</div>

After the second vest, she went back to making bracelets and earrings and rings for friends, neighbors and me. I thought the “vest era” had ended. Mom died at the age of 91 in June of 2013, ten months after my Dad. She was never happy after he died, but that was natural. They had been married 74 years, and she missed him tremendously.</div>

It took me a while to start cleaning their house. Memories made it difficult. But what a legacy Mom left me. I now have more beads than I know what to do with, especially orange! And pearls! Crystals! Charms! A ton of 15/0s! 3-cuts! I have Dad’s turquoise, coral, malachite! I could open a bead store. But in the midst of cleaning up, you’ll never guess what I found. Yes, Mom had started designing another vest… this one with flowers. It would have been as beautiful as she was. Miss you, Mom.</div>

How Mom did it:</div>

1.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> 1. </span>Cut out three pieces of silk or cotton in the shape of a vest (2 fronts, 1 back).</div>

2.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> 2. </span>drew fish designs on ironable pellon</div>

3.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> 3. </span>cut out the designs and ironed them onto the vest</div>

4.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> 4. </span>using Nymo D, a beading needle and 15/0s, she bead-embroidered the fish. She used 4- bead backstitch and the stop stitch.</div>

5.<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> 5. </span>When she was done, she sewed the three pieces together and lined the vest with silk.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

LoveAndBeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400485008255866067noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367302331234422583.post-31231768730377230032017-06-12T15:02:00.000-07:002017-06-12T15:02:08.742-07:00Inspired travels! Marcia DeCosterI just had an amazing opportunity to travel with a group of like minded beady people through some of the most amazingly picturesque cities of Europe. We started out in Prague, followed by Vienna, Budapest and finally two wonderful days in Paris.<br />
<br />
The trip had so many facets to it, it's hard to capture all of the feelings surrounding so many special moments, but I can tell you I had so many opportunities to connect with our worldwide beading community and it was awesome! In so many places I got to feel the love as I met beaders from all over the world, some for the first time.<br />
<br />
So where is this post going? Well I want to tell you some stories of those meetings, and of the wonderful time we had exploring the Bohemian collection, and I will. Perhaps in a second post.<br />
<br />
Now what I want to discuss is inspiration.....because as I reviewed my photos I realized how many of them were jumping off points for something that may eventually be beaded. There were patterns and shapes everywhere that invoked just a wisp of an idea waiting to be explored more fully. Let's have a look.<br />
<br />
First up is St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna.....a Bargello pattern in the roof seems to beg to be beaded. I'll leave that one to the peyote gals who can really do it justice. <br />

This one's from a museum in Vienna. It was reasonably under whelming for the most part, but there was a wall of these. I can't help but thinking it it something Kinga Nichols might bead. I also wonder at the idea to put art and whimsy into armor used to defend one's body against an act of war. It seems at odds to one another.<br />

Here is a fence....perhaps in Paris, perhaps in Budapest, I really should take notes, but again it looks like the perfect pattern to be done in CRAW. Funny that my eye is always drawn to these geometric patterns.<br />

The inspiration here is all color and I so wish that I didn't have to contend with window glare....these were in a window shop near Montmartre. I often think that a packaging engineer might have been a good career for me, but alas I didn't have the artistic drive when I was young enough to pursue that type of career path.</div>

I don't know how I would bead this, but I was struck by the elegance of the shapes and sometimes just the idea of creating a certain mood is enough to evoke an idea.<br />

I am a lover of travel and I see inspiration everywhere. I love looking back at my photos as they tell a story and these ones told the story of friendship, beads and inspiration! I hope you may find some inspiration of your own in my photos, or revisit your own travel photos where I am sure plenty of ideas abound!</div>

<br />
When Marcia told me about her idea for this blog, the first though that came into my head was, "I'm feeling the love." I let that idea ride around in my head for awhile, and came up with this idea: I would bead the word 'love' in Braille so that my love could quite literally be felt. It looks geometric, and sort of abstract, but while I'm wearing it, I can run my finger over the bumps and feel the love any time I want to. I've written instructions for doing it with CRAW, but there is no reason it couldn't be done many other ways, so I'm hoping that some of you take this idea and run with it. Let's feel the love!<br />
<br />
Each Braille letter sits on its own CRAW block; these directions are for beaders who are already comfortable with CRAW, so if you have never done it before, I recommend practicing before you begin this project. You will need a two colors of 11° beads for the blocks; I used bronze (11°A) with border of dark green (11°B).<br />
<br />

To begin making the first unit of CRAW, string (4)11°A beads. Go through all four beads again, then go through the bead you started from once more. Keep your tension fairly tight throughout, but not so tight that you are breaking thread or beads. Some thread should show, but not a lot of it.uuj<br />

Turn and add a new cube under the last cube to start the next row. You can either work right to left to add the next row, or flip the beadwork over and continue working left to right.<br />
<br />
Make sure that each new cube has a floor, three new walls (some walls are shared with previous cubes!) and that you go through all four beads on the top to make the beadwork sturdy.<br />

Add a row of CRAW cubes using 11°B all the way around the block.<br />
<br />
Why did I add these later? Because I think it's easier. You'll notice that each cube on the sides of the border has only three dark green beads, while the corners have four.<br />
<br />
I got too confused trying to do it all at once with both colors, but if you prefer to do it that way, go right ahead!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

You'll need a total of four blocks, one for each letter in the word LOVE. Depending on the size of your wrist, the type of beads you use to finish the bracelet, the size of your clasp, and how much you love (or hate) CRAW, you may or may not need a bit extra on each end of the bracelet. But you don't need to decide that now. Make four blocks and go on to adding the bumps, or make one and jump right to the letter L. It's your choice!<br />
<br />
<h3>
Make the Bumps:</h3>
All of the bumps are made the same way; the only thing that changes is where you position them. To make it easy to see, only one cube of CRAW is pictured in the following diagrams. Always start at the red dot, and beads added in each step are shown outlined in red.<br />

Putting the bracelet together:</h3>
<div>
I chose to add some lampwork beads in between each block for my bracelet; other options would be crystals, pearls, or strings of seed beads. Use whatever appeals to you! I decided to add an extra, smaller, block of CRAW to each end to make my bracelet fit, but it would have looked just as nice with more lampwork beads. Get creative and have fun; make your bracelet fit your style! </div>

So what I thought I was going to write about is not at all
what wants to come out. I wanted to give you a happy pattern for making a
beaded LOVE pen and call it a day, but its time to dig into something deeper
(LOVE pen instructions still included). <o:p></o:p>I would like to share with you about how I nearly annihilated my creativity with judgment, and what Bead Love means to me now. It's a long story, so I hope you're ok with the shorter version.</div>

I was so
excited the first time I got accepted to teach at the Bead & Button Show. I
felt like I had finally made it. I was proud of my my website and podcast, I had a business coach to help me, and I was ready to make my dream of entrepreneurship a reality. I quit my part time job to get everything
ready and to design new things to teach at future workshops. Only the money
didn’t come, no new teaching opportunities, and I watched my friend, another new teacher sell out of her kits.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In that moment, I let judgment demons take over. I made what happened mean all these terrible things about me that weren’t true: my work sucks, I don’t design
stuff people like, it’s too easy, I’m a bad teacher, nobody likes me, what’s
wrong with me, why can’t I make this business work…despite all the evidence to
the contrary including the evaluations from the wonderful ladies in my classes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I returned home, got a new part time job, and carried on. I
was really excited about super duos and their potential, and ended up with my
Ratan bangle, a class which sold out twice at the next Bead & Button show.
It was fun, but the judgment demons were still there, and in full force.
Despite the outward success, I was in debt, I hated my job, and I was unable to make a living from my
passion. That last part hurt so bad I started resenting my gift. </div>

I quit beading and decided to explore some other things and
business ideas. I didn’t touch beads for about a year, and when I redid my
office, I considered giving away or selling them all. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was working with my mentor on a couple things, and after
one particular session, I felt the urge to get my hands on some beads. I
finished Sherry Serafini’s Monster necklace in one night, and it was so joyful
to play with beads again I wondered why I ever stopped!! <b>THAT. That joyful
feeling of creating something with your hands, having no judgments or
expectations about it being a class or to sell, THAT is what Bead Love is to
me. </b>Not that it can’t be a class or something later, it’s that creation for
creation’s sake is the joy and the number one priority without any expectations
or judgments on it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A year later I have a full time job and I’m discovering how
I’d like to weave beads into my life along with other adventures. I have a couple designs scheduled for future publications, and I started selling finished pieces again. One form of
beading that I have always loved that is kind of a black sheep is freeform
peyote. I love having no rules, and here’s my work in progress piece. The
working title is “the key to creativity is no judgment."<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">How about showing your love for beads and chocolate? That has to be the winning combination! The perfect blend of aroma, taste, texture and looks makes eating chocolate a pleasurable experience that stimulates the ‘feel good’ centers of the brain. Beaded chocolates don’t have the aroma and taste but you could make up for that by nibbling on chocolate while beading these. Beaded with peyote stitch, these fun components are addictive. Use your imagination to embellish with suitable beads from your stash. Connect them to make a sweet bracelet or stitch them on to a purse. Make a pendant or a pair of earrings. Whatever you decide to do, it will be a conversation starter for sure! </span></div>

<i><span style="color: #45818e; font-size: large;">Betty Stephan's work always has grand detail and she's even managed to pack it into this darling heart shaped pendant that she created. I love that's she's given us lot's of sample variety as well as wonderful suggestions for using the hearts 'Wouldn't it be nice to open an envelope and a little heart drops out?' That visual certainly makes me smile and makes me want to tuck them into unexpected places. I also think with her suggestion of adding a bail, it would make a perfect and sweet grand daughter necklace. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think the cream colored one with the brown and red edge is calling me, or maybe the purple one, or.....? Show us your hearts, we love to see what you do!

<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">Just a few notes before you begin:</span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">I have used the 2 color Super Duo Duets to frame the heart. However, you can substitute regular Super Duos as the second color. I liked the effect of the Duets and the two opposite colors joined into one bead harmonizes with our theme of “Love”. Also the two hearts joined as one. Maybe a little corny- but there you have it! </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">If you do use the Duets, I refer to the blue side in the diagram as the dark side and the green is the light side. That does not mean that you need to face the dark side of your Duet the same way that I do, it is just a label to differentiate between the two sides. You just need to make sure they are all facing the same way if you want it to look like the sample. Pay attention to this in the diagrams.</span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">Also, remember that whenever using beads with two or more holes, check that BOTH holes are open before working them into your piece. I know it is a pain to do this, but believe me it is a lot more of a pain if you get half way through your piece and find that one of the holes is clogged up on the next Duo (don’t ask me how I know this LOL!)!</span></span></div>

<div class="p3">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">You could stop right here and add a bail to have a cute pendant or charm. Or you can make another following steps 1-7 (don’t cut the threads at the end of the second one though) and follow the directions in the step 8 to attach them together. </span></span></div>
<div class="p4">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="s2"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="p14">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">You can vary the colors on the two hearts to make a reversible pendant that will look very different depending on which side you decide to wear facing out. It also gives you a little space to insert a tiny photo, note or keepsake remembrance of someone that you want to hold within your heart.</span></span></div>

<div class="p3">
<span class="s2"><span style="font-size: small;">Work your way through the edge embellishment to the top center of the heart, maybe 1-2 embellishment beads to either side of center. Pick up (8) 15° D (more or less if you want) and thread them through your O ring, bail or whatever you are using. Sew through the bead on the other side of the center top. You will probably want to reinforce this a couple of times to make it nice and strong.</span></span></div>

<i><span style="color: #45818e;">Edgars work has a rich opulence to it that I first noticed back in 2011 while preparing Marcia DeCoster Presents. I asked him to be included in the book and fortunately for me, he agreed. I must say I love every sparkly thing he creates! I was fortunate enough to meet him in person while he and I both happened to be in New York City at the same time. We are very fortunate that he is sharing with us one of several hearts that he has created! Enjoy making this beautiful pendant! Marcia</span></i></div>

more times using 4sca, adding one 11sba in the inside and 3 in the outside, then
3 more times adding one 11sba in the inside and 2 in the outside, then to
complete one side repeat same process but this time adding one 4sba + one
11sba + one 4sca + one 11sba. To make the other side repeat the whole process,
but in reverse. Then attach both sides passing through one side to the other with

Our contributing artist, Edgar Lopez did his job, but it doesn't end there. I still need to prepare the content and get it ready to post. <br />
<br />
A travel weekend and a late night landing as well as a few things that needed my attention meant I didn't get the post prepared today.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned because it's a beautiful project and I'll be making it available very soon!LoveAndBeadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400485008255866067noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367302331234422583.post-37897472057556358582017-04-24T15:39:00.000-07:002017-04-25T09:07:01.826-07:00Heart Lace by Sabine Lippert<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><i>I remember when I first took notice of Sabine Lippert. She was incredibly prolific and her designs were very compelling. I remember emailing her with the question 'Who the heck are you?' ok, maybe not quite phrased like that but I certainly wanted to know more about her. We began an on-line relationship those many years ago and then were fortunate to meet at her first Bead and Button show. Since then we've had many occasions to spend time together and I continue to say 'Who the heck are you?' Her work continues to be prolific, her colorways are always magical and you can count on her thread paths being inventive. This week she has given us Heart Lace, a wonderful bracelet that used the square frame to surround the interior heart shape. I predict there will be many of these made and I'm pretty sure single, double as shown or even triple wide would all be fun combinations. I'd love to see one with each heart a different color, oooh and with black matte surround beads. It may be that I'll have to try my hand at one. Thanks Sabine for sharing a great project.

I'm not sure everyone is prepared to cast their beady rocks into a public space, but ....it's an idea....wouldn't coming across beaded rocks in your environment be a thrill?

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Several years ago, a grouping of blue panels with reflective arrows that looked like street signs were erected under a bridge in Austin. No one could figure out what the signs were supposed to indicate, and it turned out to be an art installation that the city paid $45,000 for, and which no one (including the artist) really liked. Turns out the project ran out of time and money, so we paid a ridiculous amount of money for a confusing eyesore that we all just agreed to never speak of again. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">The point of this story… One day, those panels were all wearing fun sweaters and everyone suddenly loved them! Someone or some group had come along and covered them with crocheting or knitting and I was introduced to a new concept - Yarn Bombing. Also known as yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting, or graffiti knitting, yarn bombing is a non-permanent way to create urban art by covering objects with … um, sweaters.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">When Marcia DeCoster came to us with the idea of Bead Love, my mind flew almost immediately to this concept and I knew I wanted to do something that expressed my love of beads in places that meant something to me. So, I came up with the idea of Bead Bombing; I’m going to bead the places I love.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Beads do not work up as large or as quickly as knitting, so my installations were going to have to be smaller than what I had come to expect from this guerrilla art form.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Perhaps. But I find that when beading becomes all about making money, the delight gets sucked out of it.

<span style="font-kerning: none;">The very nature of this project is to bring the joy of beadwork to myself and others. It is an intentionally temporary art form that is designed to bring a brief ping of happiness to anyone who sees or touches it. If someone feels the need to take it, perhaps that person needs some extra happiness in their life for one reason or another, and I hope it brings it to him or her.</span></div>

I immediately was drawn to how supple the stitch was, but also that I could make it structural. It lends itself to embellishment between the points of the Hubble and depending on bead choices it can be made quite self supporting when worked tubular.</span><br />
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #45818e;">The first project I created with Hubble was Cryptex which was a tubular vessel. I also explored layering by working a second row of hubble stitch off the same point, and increasing dimension by changing the size of the beads in the layers around the bottom. The photo shows the vessel of hubble with the insert of the peyote tube.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">What does all this have to do with a Dainty Ring.....Well as I was trying out colors for the various Cryptex, I noticed that the 16 unit around band of tubular Hubble made a perfect ring, A Dainty Ring. It's a great starting place to play with Hubble or if you already know Hubble it's a great little project for trying out color combinations, and you end up with a wardrobe of colorful sweet rings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #45818e;">It turns out that Hubble is a directional stitch and that by reversing the direction of four rows of Hubble it created a wider center space perfect for embellishing with a larger bead, like a 3 mm crystal or pearl.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "minion pro";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "minion pro";">Thread choice? I find double waxed fireline really helps to keep the units snugged up agains one another.</span><br />
<br />
A word about sizing - personal tension, type of bead and choice of embellishment will all affect the fit of your ring. I like to start with between 14 and 16 units. I wrap this around the intended finger and work until I have one unit of overlap.<br />
<div class="p2">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="p1">
<span style="font-size: small;">I find the 3mm pearl embellishment has a tendency to tighten things up more than a 3mm crystal on the center row. If you plan to use pearls then you might continue with units until you have a 2 unit overlap before joining.</span></div>
