In what could be viewed as a game of one-upmanship, bead manufacturers continue to vie for consumer inter-est with new and novel bead shapes. What started just a few years ago with two-hole Tila beads and SuperDuos has blossomed into an array of shapes and styles. And one thing is for sure: Two-hole beads definitely have opened up lots of design opportunities — not to men-tion challenges. For instance, most two-hole beads are considerably larger than the seed beads used in tradi-tional bead stitching, which means it can be quicker and easier to put the various shapes together to create some-thing new. On the other hand, those larger, heavier beads sometimes require different assembly approaches than we’re used to, like extra thread passes to ensure strength and longevity, or making components and linking them together with jump rings. And the extra holes can pose a conundrum as well, as there isn’t always a clear way of integrating the second hole into a design. But beaders do love a good challenge, which may go a long way in explaining why all the new beads continue to enthrall us. Happy beading!

the center ring and the tip cylinder in each spine to stabilize and straighten the lines of 150s. End the threads.

BOTTOM COMPONENT1) On 2 yd. (.9 m) of thread and leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail, pick up 24 cylinders, and tie them into a ring with a square knot.2) Working as in rounds 1–2 of “Top component, bottom layer,” work two rounds of herringbone stitch using two cylinders per stitch.3) Continue in rounds as follows:Round 3: Work a round of herringbone with cylinders, adding a 150 after each herringbone stitch (figure 12, a–b).Round 4: Work as in round 3 of “Top compo-nent, bottom layer” to stitch a round of herring-bone adding two 150s after each herringbone stitch (b–c).Round 5: Work as in round 4 of “Top compo-nent, bottom layer” to stitch a round of herring-bone adding two 150s after each herringbone stitch (c–d). The beadwork will be wavy.4) Fold the beadwork in half so you have five full spines and two half spines showing and your thread is exiting the bottom layer of a half spine

(figure 13, point a). Pick up a cylinder, and sew through the next cylinder. Pick up a 150, and sew through the following 150. Pick up a SuperDuo, and sew through the correspond-ing 150 on the next spine. Pick up a 150, and sew through the end cylinder on the follow-ing spine (a–b). Repeat these stitches five times, and then pick up a cylinder and sew through the next cylinder (b–c).5) Flip the beadwork over. You will now join this surface to the other surface to create two attached layers. Pick up a 150, and sew through the next 150, SuperDuo, and 150. Pick up a 150, and sew through the end cyl-inder on the following spine (figure 14, a–b). Continue through the tip cylinder in the corre-sponding spine on the bottom surface and the next cylinder on the top surface (b–c). This will join the surfaces together. Repeat these stitches five times, but after adding the final 150, exit the tip cylinder on the end half spine (c–d).6) Flip the beadwork over. Pick up a 150, and sew through the next two 150s, SuperDuo, and two 150s (figure 15, a–b). Pick up a 150 and sew through the next tip cylinder (b–c). Repeat these stitches five times (c–d), flip the beadwork

over and, and then repeat six times on the other surface.7) Flip the beadwork over, and sew through the first 150 added in the previous step (figure 16,

point a). Pick up a 150, and sew through the open hole of the next SuperDuo. Pick up a 150, and sew through the following 150, tip cylinder, and 150 (a–b). Repeat this stitch five times to complete this side, but end by sewing through the tip cylinder on the opposite half spine (b–c). Flip your work, and repeat this step on the opposite surface.8) Flip your work, and sew through the next two

Pick up three 150s, skip the following tip cylinder, and sew through the next two 150s (b–c). Repeat these two stitches four times, and then repeat the first stitch once more, exiting the tip cylinder in the opposite half spine (c–d).9) Flip your work, and sew through the first two top 150s on the opposite surface (figure 18,

point a). Pick up two 150s, and sew through the center 150 in the next loop on the previous sur-face (a–b). Pick up two 150s, skip the following two 150s, and sew through the next two 150s on this surface (b–c). Pick up a 150, and sew through the center 150 in the following picot (c–d). Pick up a 150, skip the next 150, and sew through the next two 150s on this surface (d–e).

Repeat these four stitches four times, repeat the first two stitches once more, and sew through the tip cylinder in the opposite end spine (e–f).

ASSEMBLY1) Flip the bottom component so the opening is facing upward. With the working thread, sew through the beadwork to exit the tip 150 of the center spine (figure 19, a–b). Pick up three 150s, a crystal drop, and three 150s, and sew through the tip 150 again. Continue through the bead-work to exit the tip cylinder in the other half spine (b–c).2) Pick up a 150, a 3 mm crystal, a 150, a 3 mm, and a 150, and sew through a tip cylinder at the end of a spine on the top component (c–d). Sew back through the beads just added, and continue through the beadwork to exit the cylinder at the inside-bottom edge of the same half spine (d–e).

3) Pick up three 150s, a 3 mm, two 150s, a 3 mm, and two 150s, and sew through the center 150 in the adjacent loop of the top component (e–f). Pick up two 150s, a 3 mm, two 150s, a 3 mm, and three 150s, and sew through the tip cylinder on the inner edge of the opposite half spine (f–g).4) Pick up a 150 and a 4 mm bicone crystal, and sew through the cylinder at the base of the center spine of the bottom component (figure 20, a–b). Sew back through the 4 mm, pick up a 150, and sew through the inner-edge cylinder at the base of the other half spine (b–c). Pick up a 150, and retrace the thread path through the 4 mm and the center-spine cylinder (c–d). Pick up a 150, and sew through the adjacent inner-edge cylinder at the base of the original half spine (d–e).5) Sew through the beadwork to exit the tip cyl-inder at the end of this half spine (e–f), and add a connector as in step 2 (f–g). End the threads.6) Open the loop of an earwire, and attach it to the top loop of 150s on the top component.7) Make another earring. B&B

BRACELET BASEHow to pick up the Ava beads: Sew through the hole on the point of the bead (PH), the hole on a tip entering from the outside edge (TO), or the hole on the tip entering from the inside edge (TI), per the instructions. When using two- and three-hole beads, check first to ensure that all holes are open.

1) Thread a needle on each end of 2 yd. (1.8 m) of thread. With one needle, pick up three color B 110 seed beads, and sew through one hole of the concave side of the button. With the other needle, sew through the open hole of the button, and center the button on the thread. 2) With one needle, pick up five color A seed beads and a SuperDuo. With the other needle, pick up five As, and sew through the open hole of the SuperDuo

(figure 1, a–b and aa–bb). 3) With one needle, pick up three Bs and a DiscDuo. With the other needle, pick up three Bs, and sew through the open hole of the DiscDuo (b–c and bb–cc). 4) With each needle, pick up three Bs, and an Ava bead (TI), positioning the point of the Ava toward the out-side edge (figure 2, a–b and aa–bb).

5) With each needle, pick up four As, and sew through the point of the Ava (b–c and bb–cc). With each needle, pick up four As, and sew through the Ava (TO) (c–d and cc–dd). 6) With one needle, pick up three Bs and a DiscDuo (d–e). With the other needle, pick up three Bs, and sew through the open hole of the DiscDuo (dd–ee). 7) Repeat steps 4–6 eight times or until the band is the desired length.

NOTE Each section of Avas (steps 4–6)

adds ¾ in. (1.9 cm) to the length of the bracelet.

Adjust as needed to fit your wrist size.

CLASP1) With one needle, pick up three Bs and a SuperDuo

(figure 3, a–b). With the other needle, pick up three Bs, and sew through the open hole of the SuperDuo (aa–bb).2) With one needle, pick up 26 As, and sew through the opposite hole of the SuperDuo and the next three Bs to form a button loop (b–c). With the other needle, sew through the As in the button loop, the opposite hole of the SuperDuo, and the following three Bs (bb–cc).

V-shaped Ava beads provide angular interest to this bracelet, which is sure to hit its target.

BEZELED RIVOLIS1) On 40 in. (1 m) of thread, pick up a repeating pattern of a Tila bead, two 110 seed beads, an 80 seed bead, and two 110s four times. Leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail, sew through all the beads in the ring again to form a ring. Sew thorugh the first Tila again, and continue through the open hole of the same Tila (figure 1).2) Pick up a 3 mm bicone crystal, and sew through the open hole of the next Tila (figure 2, a–b). Repeat this stitch three times to complete the round (b–c). This will be the front of the bezel. Retrace the thread path of the round (not shown in the figure for clarity), and sew through the beadwork as shown to exit a pair of 110s in the original ring, with your needle pointing toward a corner 80 (c–d).3) Pick up a 150 seed bead, a SuperDuo bead, and a 150. Skip the corner 80, and sew through the next two 110s, Tila, and two 110s (figure 3, a–b). Repeat this stitch three times to complete the round (b–c). Sew through

the first 150 and SuperDuo added in this round, and continue through the open hole of the SuperDuo (c–d). 4) Turn over your work to begin working on what will be the back of the bezel. Pick up eight 150s, and sew through the open hole of the next SuperDuo (figure 4,

a–b). Repeat this stitch three times to complete the round (b–c), pulling the SuperDuos to the center of the bezel, which should now resemble a square. Sew through the first eight 150s added in this round, the next SuperDuo, and the following five 150s (c–d).5) Pick up two 150s, and sew through the center two 150s of the next side in the square (figure 5, a–b). Repeat this stitch three times to complete the round, keeping your thread tension loose (b–c). Place a 14 mm rivoli facedown in the bezel, and pull the thread tight. Retrace the thread path of the last round so that the rivoli fits snugly in the bezel. 6) Turn over your work so that the face of the rivoli is toward you. Sew through the beadwork to exit a pair of 110s in the original ring, with your needle pointing toward a corner 80. Pick up three 150s, skip the next 80, and sew through the following two 110s, Tila, and two 110s (figure 6, a–b). Repeat this stitch three times to complete the round (b–c).

Adding connector loopsTurn over your work so that the back of the bezel is facing you. Sew through the beadwork to exit the outer hole of a SuperDuo. Pick up five 110s, sew through the SuperDuo again, and continue through the first 110 just added (a–b). Pick up a 150, and sew through the next 110 (b–c). Repeat this stitch three times, and sew through the SuperDuo again (c–d). Retrace the thread path through the 110s and 150s.

7) End the tail but not the working thread. Depending on which pieces in the suite you are mak-ing, you will use the working thread to add one or more connector loops to each bezeled rivoli.

NECKLACE1) Make a total of seven bezeled rivolis — three with color A stones and four with color B. Arrange the rivo-lis in a line on your work surface, alternating colors. 2) For each end rivoli, add a single connector loop (see “Adding connector loops,” p. 16), and end the working thread. For the five interior rivolis, add a connector loop to two adjacent corners, and end the working thread. Open six 6 mm jump rings, and use them to join the connector loops of the rivolis (figure 7).3) Cut 20 in. (51 cm) of beading wire. Turn over an end rivoli so that the back of the bezel is facing you, and center the wire through the bottom hole of the two end SuperDuos as shown (figure 8, a–aa). With each wire, go through the top hole of the corre-sponding SuperDuo (a–b and aa–bb). On the top wire, string three 80s (b–c); on the bottom wire, string four 80s (bb–cc).4) Over both wires, string an alternating pattern of an 8 mm crystal pearl and an 80 12 times, and end with a clamshell bead tip and a crimp bead. Crimp the crimp bead, and close the clamshell over it. With roundnose pliers, make a loop with the tab on the bead tip. Use

a 6 mm split ring to attach half of the clasp to the bead tip.5) Repeat steps 3–4 on the other end of the rivolis.

BRACELET1) Make a total of eight bezeled rivolis — four with color A stones and four with color B. Arrange the rivo-lis in a line on your work surface, alternating colors.2) Add four connector loops to each rivoli, one loop at each corner, and end the working thread.3) Open 14 6 mm jump rings, and use them to join the connector loops of the rivolis. At each end, use two more jump rings to join the remaining loops to the clasp.

EARRINGS1) Make a total of two bezeled rivolis.2) Add a single connector loop to each rivoli, but pick up an earring finding as you pick up the five 110s. Add the 150s as normal.3) Optional dangle (shown on the black/pink suite on p. 18): Sew through the beadwork to exit the bottom hole of the SuperDuo opposite the earring finding.

Pick up two 150s, a Rizo bead, and two 150s, and sew through the SuperDuo again. Retrace the thread path of the dangle, and end the working thread.

RING1) Make a single bezeled rivoli, starting with 2 yd. (1.8 m) of thread. Do not add any connec-tor loops. Turn over your work so that the back of the bezel is facing you. Sew through the bead-work to exit the outer hole of a SuperDuo.2) Pick up three 110s and a SuperDuo (figure 9,

a–b). Pick up a repeating pattern of an 110 and a SuperDuo for the desired length ring band (b–c) .

Pick up three 110s, and sew through the outer hole of the corresponding SuperDuo on the other side of the bezel (c–d).3) Sew through the beadwork to exit the outer hole of the next SuperDuo (d–e). Pick up three 110s, and sew through the open hole of the adja-cent SuperDuo. Pick up an 110, and sew through the open hole of the next SuperDuo. Repeat this stitch for the length of the ring band, ending with three 110s, and sew through the outer hole of the corresponding SuperDuo on the starting side of the bezel (e–f). Retrace the thread path through both sides of the band, and end the working thread. B&B
