Shape up!

Shaped beads, with one hole or two, have been all the rage the past

couple of years. Whether you love them or haven’t quite figured out howto use them, we think you’ll enjoy exploring the design possibilities of

shaped beads in this issue of B&B Extra .

Nichole Starman’s bracelet (p. 4) combines two-hole lentils and tiles in an

elegant look. Peggy Melton’s necklace (p. 7) adds two-hole daggers to a base

of SuperDuos for a playful and flirty collar. The SuperDuos in Sandie Bachand’s

bracelet (p. 11) add a bas-relief texture in a classic design. And Gail Wing’s

edgy bracelet (p. 14) shows that spikes don’t always have to be fierce. Now’s

the time to get in on the shaped-bead bandwagon — join us!

Happy beading!

Pick up a dagger (top hole), and sew

through the open hole of the next C

beads, and sew through the next C

(c–d). Repeat these two stitches (d–e)

Finishing1 Cut a 1½-in. (3.8 cm) piece of chain.Add 8 in. (20 cm) of thread to one

end of the beadwork, and exit an end

pearl. Pick up a wire guard, and slide

an end link of chain into it. Sew through

the end pearl again. Retrace the thread

path through this connection, and end

the thread. Repeat this step to attach

a 3-in. (7.6 cm) chain to the other end

of the necklace.

2 Cut a 2-in. (5 cm) piece of wire, andmake the first half of a wrapped loop

at one end. Slide the end of the shortchain into the loop, and complete

the wrap. String a pearl onto the wire,

and make the first half of a wrapped

loop. Slide the clasp into the loop, and

complete the wrap.

3 Work as in step 2 to begin a wrappedloop and attach it to the end of the

long chain. String a pearl and the top

hole of a dagger. Make a wrapped

loop, capturing the dagger in the loop

and leaving enough room to attach a

few dangles above the dagger.

4 On a head pin, string a few beadsas desired. Slide it onto the wrapped

loop above the dagger, and complete

the wrap. Repeat to make two more

dangles, varying the beads as desired. w

Base1 On 1 yd. (.9 m) of beading wire, stringnine 110 seed beads with one wire end,

and cross the other wire end through

the last 110 added (figure 1, points a

and aa). Center the beads on the wire.

2 Work in crossweave stitch: On eachwire end, string two 110s, a 150 seed

bead, a color A spike bead, and a 150.

With one wire end, string a color B spike

bead, and cross the other wire end

through it (a–b and aa–bb). Make sure

the beads are still centered on the wire.

3 On each wire end, string a 150, an A,and a 150. On one wire end, string a B,

and cross the other wire end through it

(b–c and bb–cc). Repeat these stitches

for the desired length of the bracelet

minus 11 ⁄ 2 in. (3.8 cm) for the clasp.

Tighten after crossing through each

B, and make sure all the spikes are

pointing upward.

4 On each wire end, string a 150, anA, a 150, and two 110s. On one wire

end, string a crimp bead, and pass the

other wire end though it (figure 2, a–b

and aa–bb).

5 On one wire end, string eight 110s,and pass through the crimp bead

again to form a loop. String the other

wire end though the 110s just added,

and pass it through the crimp bead.

Tighten the beadwork.

6 Crimp the crimp bead. Pass eachwire though the nearest two 110s (b–c

and bb–cc), and trim the wire close

to the beads.
