Beadwork Patterns at Kalmbach Publishing

For those of you who are new to the art of beadweaving, or who might not have a large library of books and patterns to use, I thought I'd pass along this link to an offer from Kalmbach Publishing. They're offering their online patterns at half off the regular price, at only $1.95 per pattern. They have a pretty wide variety of patterns available, and they're all downloadable as PDFs, so all you need to read/print them is Acrobat Reader.

Check them out here: http://www.beadandcraftbooks.com/beading-pdf.html

Note that the Etsy BeadWeavers Street Team has no affiliation with Kalmbach. This post is for information only.

Happy beadweaving, all!

More Beaded Treasures

Bev of noeasybeads has proven herself quite the treasury hunter today. She is curating two beautiful lists featuring Etsy BeadWeavers. The first showcases some of this month's EBWC entries; the second features a more random grouping . . . both are beautiful!




You can find this "Caught in the Net" treasury here until Tuesday evening. Stop in and comment if you like what you see ;)




You can find these "beadiful things" here until late tonight.

Addendum:

Esther of GreenEnvyDesigns returned after her long travels and snagged a treasury right away. This one will be up here until Monday afternoon.

TwoTreasuries of Beadweaving Treasures

Both up for only a day or so, sadly:

You can find this one here until Sunday 12:18am EST.

You can find it here and comment until Saturday at 10:48 EST

Etsy Front Page Appearances!

Our members certainly create beautiful beadweaving, and every once in awhile one of our pieces is chosen for an Etsy Treasury that winds up on the front page. That's grounds for celebration!

Susan (aka ClinkscalesArts) made an appearance with her crocheted earrings. While these aren't beadweaving, they're still beautiful and noteworthy! Those are hers in the third row, third column.

The next appearance was by Swanee (aka MistyRidgeBeads), whose beadwoven bracelet joined this extremely colorful collection. Like Susan, Swanee's bracelet was in the third row and third column. This Treasury was truly eye-popping!

Prelude to the November Challenge

Six of the pieces in this list are actual entries in the November Challenge. The others are just beautiful beadwork using netting, by team members. :)

This list will be up live on Etsy until early Tuesday morning, so go and visit and comment. Thank you. In two weeks the challenge pieces will all be up on this blog for you to vote on, by the way.
