Make Mine
"Beads" Please

Joy and Laughter!

Beads bring happiness to my life…and open the door to joy and laughter. What better window to look through and smile at life, right? They feel good to touch, they make my eyes happy when I see them, and when incorporated into a piece of jewelry that I can actually wear, well, what could be better?

Fall 2007 — Issue 14:

This issue is chock-full of fun and exciting projects and ideas. Whether your favorite pieces are made only of beads, or you prefer a little felting with bead embellishment, you will have a blast playing in this issue! The projects go from trendy pieces that show off new vintage-style brass, like our Amber Dragonfly Necklace, to playful pieces like the Confetti Flower Stretch Bracelets that help us share beads with our children. Satisfy your need for wire jewelry with the Sweet Romance Bracelet by Kim Fandry and the Metal Fling Bracelet (made from scratch) by Susan Barnes. We have also brought you some felting fun with Gail Crossman Moore and her way cool Acorn Earrings.

Satisfy the chocoholic in you! Christi Friesen gives you permission to buy chocolates to use as reference materials as you make her Good Enough to Eat chocolate look-alike beads. Check out our other chocolate-themed projects throughout this issue.

We honor our nation's great loss in the Beads in the World article, which details the emotions and love of hundreds of people devoting their creativity to the 9/11 Bead Quilt project.

We've added a new column to Bead Unique Magazine this issue. Imaginina's Bead and Fashion Trends will show you new trends and will help you get yourself up-to-date with the fashions and hot bead stuff out there.

Bead on and have a scrumptious, bead-filled fall!
