Time Machine Beaded Bead
Gwen Fisher |
The Time Machine beaded bead resembles a baroque decorative egg. The surface of this bead is speckled with precisely placed drop beads and a layered lace work of seed beads. One makes a nice focal bead, or for a more elaborate necklace, combine the Time Machine with other cluster beads such as the Double Rose Window or the Octahedral Cluster. Like all of the patterns in the cluster series, techniques include a modified version of right angle weave and a bead weaving technique we call a lace overlay method. The finished Time Machine beaded bead measures approximately 27mm x 24mm or just over an inch long. Sizes vary with bead choices. The hole is wide enough to accommodate a thin cord or chain.

Night Sky Bracelet and Pendant
Gwen Fisher
|
This class will teach you an easy flat weave that can be used to make medium and wide bracelets and necklaces. Illustrated directions show you how to make 2 pendants and one bracelet. Photographs show how this weave can be made any width by adding more rows. You can even include small round crystals or weave large rings, right into the weave. Night Sky sews up much faster than other common flat weaves such as peyote stitch or herringbone so that you can finish a bracelet in a single day. In this class, you will learn about several variations, including two ways to add a clasp.
