Bead & Jewellery Magazine Issue 111 Back Issue

First up is our front cover piece from the lovely Swetlana Rohloff. Swetlana’s pieces are truly divine, and this opulent necklace is no exception. This project is definitely on my to-do list. Becs Dean Skinner is next up with her very wearable Double Right Angle Weave crystal bracelet. It’s a beautiful piece that you could wear on a night out or just to the supermarket. Julie from Spellbound Beads and Jennifer Kent are giving us all the festive feels with their fabulous baubles. Try your hand at a beaded bookmark with the delightful Hana Elvy. Her Scandi inspired bookmark is perfect for those of us who love clean lines and classic colours. Melissa Rodarte is back with us with another of her wonderful pieces. Her ‘Tapestry of the Tempest’ bracelet is one we will want to make again and again in many different colours. Step back in time with Emma Kneale and her 1920s inspired bracelet, and I’m bringing my full-on sparkle game with my ‘Circlet’ bracelet.
Moving away from the bead weaving, we start with Tracey Spurgin’s beautiful PMC stone set earrings. Tracey’s mum requested a pair of earrings to go with her outfit for Tracey’s son’s wedding recently, and Tracey thought she would then share the pattern with us. They’re so pretty, that I for one, am glad she did. Last but not least, we have Alison Tarry’s stunning monochrome pendant. Intricate wire wrapping and a fabulous gemstone make this a piece you need in your jewellery box.
