Bead & Jewellery Magazine Issue 113 Edição anterior

I want to start by wishing you all the best in 2022; I hope this year brings you all the joy, happiness and beads you could wish for. After the festive period is over, I often feel like designing isn’t quite as easy in the new year, and whether that’s because I’ve beaded like crazy in the run-up to Christmas or maybe it’s just because of the need for so much sparkle is over, and I really love sparkle. With that in mind, I often like to make a pattern I haven’t designed and whilst working through this issue, I’ve actually managed to make two of the designs, and I loved working through both of them. So if you’re feeling the same way I do at this time of year, we have a mixture of techniques, beads and mediums aimed at all levels for you to enjoy. I think you’ll agree with me when I say you’ll be spoilt for choice with all the beautiful designs our designers have come up with.
