We love it when our members are featured in publications!Bead Trends magazine features the hottest trends in beads and hand-crafted jewelry, and the pages are filled with instructions for earrings, bracelets, and necklaces in a variety of styles and techniques. If you've never seen this magazine, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the format and content, as it contains almost no advertising whatsoever!
The January/February 2008 issue of the magazine features four designs by our own Sooz Acuna! Sooz' Etsy shop, Sooz Originals, features variations on some of the designs.
First are Sooz' Rocket Fish Earrings. These aren't beadwoven, but they're certainly cute.
Sooz also has instructions in the magazine for a necklace made with interlocking chains and for a bracelet that features one of her own polymer clay focal beads.
Etsy Beadweavers is a group of beaders who market their creations on Etsy.com. The Beadweavers' creations are different from many of the traditional beaded items, in that they are woven from hundreds or thousands of tiny beads to create intricate designs and pictures. These weavings take the form of both art and jewelry. Each piece takes many hours to complete, with some larger pieces taking weeks or even months.
This blog is devoted to the creations of this group of talented artisans.
We've got quite a group of published beaders here! It's great!
