B&Bs Guide to
sizing bracelets
5 tips for the perfect fit!
Whether you make

them for yourself, friends & family, or a customer, making
bracelets to the right size can be a challenge. These five
tips will help you create bracelets that fit every time.

re
Us
Instead of
l
designing bracelets flat on your work
surface, use an EZ Bracelet
Sizer to easily check the inner
dimensions of your design.
The EZ Bracelet Sizer is a vinyl cone
that includes measurements of
actual wrist sizes ranging from 412 in.
(1030 cm) in circumference (for
anklets). Remember that you may
need to add extra length to create
the preferred fit. Learn more at
www.gossamerwingsdesigns.com.
es
Industry guidelines for average

bracelet sizes can be a good starting point
if you want to make bracelets to fit a range of
people of unknown sizes. If youre going to sell
bracelets at a craft fair or art show, for instance,
consider making each style in at least two sizes.
Womans size
Adult small/petite
Adult medium
Adult large
Adult plus
For the best results, customize

your creations based on actual wrist
measurement and preferred fit. Heres how:
Step 1 Measure your actual wrist size: Wrap a flexible tape
measure around your wrist just below your wrist bone
where you would normally wear a bracelet. Alternatively,
wrap a piece of string around your wrist, and then
measure the length of the string on a ruler.
Step 2 Select your preferred fit. Most people have a
preference on how a bracelet drapes on the wrist.
Follow these guidelines to determine total bracelet
length based on the preferred fit.

FACT: Large beads take

up more space on the wrist
than small beads. This means bulky beads
essentially shrink the inside circumference of a
bracelet. If you are following the industry sizing
guidelines when sizing thicker bracelets, they will
probably fit tighter than anticipated. To compensate
for larger beads or thicknesses, measure the diameter
of the largest bead or the thickest section of the
design, and multiply this number by three.
For example, a 38 in. (1 cm) diameter bead
will require that you add an additional
118 in. (2.9 cm) to the final
bracelet length.
No
measuring need
ed
If you already have a

bracelet that is the perfect size, try
the Styrofoam cup method: Slide the bracelet
onto an upside down Styrofoam cup. Use a
marker to trace around the cup where the bracelet
sits. Use the cup as a form to make additional
bracelets of the same size.

Online beading courses

If you dont have a local bead store near you or prefer to take classes from
the comfort of home, try online beading classes. Classes come in a variety
of techniques, teachers, skill levels, and price ranges. Here are a few options
to get you started.
Interested in learning how to design
effective beaded jewelry? You can now
get a great course online at Craftsy
with design expert Margie Deeb.
A series of seven lessons, Jewelry
Design for Bead Artists introduces
you to the language and elements
of design through concepts such as
creating unity, using shapes, achieving
balance, and harnessing color. The
final segment offers advice on how to get started on a new design.
Throughout the video tutorials, Margie uses a lot of visuals to communicate
her points and she assigns homework at the end of each lesson so students
can get some hands-on experience with the concepts. Bonus materials
include templates for exploring the various design concepts, guidelines for
necklace length, and more. A nice feature of Craftsy classes is that you can
ask questions of the teacher as youre watching and the teacher will reply
back with an answer. Plus, you can see all the questions posed by other
students (and the answers!). Total running time of the videos is more than
two hours. Find Jewelry Design for Bead Artists at www.craftsy.com.

For this months design challenge,
we each received a bead by Tera
Belinsky-Yoder of Beady Girl Beads.
Heres what our editors (and one B&B
reader) came up with. See more of Teras
beads at www.beadygirlbeads.etsy.com.

Cassie

Connie
I made little beaded

beads using Rulla beads
as the base, and then I
embellished them with ruffles
in colors to match the glass
bead. To finish the necklace, I
used different sizes of colorful
round beads separated by
black seed beads.
(B&B reader)
Being predominantly a bead embroiderer,

this challenge offered an opportunity for
me to think outside the box. How does one
showcase a sculptural bead with no flat
sides? After several failed attempts, I turned
to my trusted peyote and herringbone
stitches, creating a shadow box effect so
the special bead would truly be the focal
piece. I beaded loops off two of the spines
to attach to a spiral necklace.
The bright colors of the

lampwork bead are quite
inspiring. I ended up making it the focal of my necklace by making a bezel
setting and adding a cute
little drop bead to disguise
the bead hole. I then made
brick-stitched components
in complementary colors to
add an even greater burst
of color and texture.
Julia
I love the bright colors of Teras beads and chose to feature

mine in a double spiral rope bracelet. I used mostly black
seed beads but added a ridge of colorful seed beads in
one spiral to echo the lively hues in the focal bead.

Findings
Two new bead shapes, the Super8 and the Button

bead, were designed by Sabine Lippert. The Super8
(it looks like an 8 when the holes are facing you) is
similar to the MiniDuo but is narrower and thinner. The
Button bead is a cone-shaped bead with a single hole
near the center. The bead is 4 mm high with a 5 mm
flat surface on one end and a point on the other
end. Available at local bead shops or online.
TierraCasts new bezels and rivoli frames are pre-glued with

Swarovski crystals. Theyre available in 15 Swarovski colors and
rhodium plated frames. Ask for these at your local bead shop.
The Zorro bead is a Z shaped

bead with two holes that measures 6 x 5 mm. This is a great
bead for interlocking pattern
designs. Available at local bead
shops or online.
The Honeycomb bead is a

6 mm hexagonal bead from
The Beadsmith. Find them
at your local bead shop or

Unkink flexible
beading wire
I had a some nylon-coated flexible
beading wire that got really kinked,
but I didnt want to just throw it away.
When I learned that the melting
temp of nylon (500 F) was higher
than the temp of a typical hair
straightener (about 400 F), I slowly
ran the wire through my hair
straightening tool. Lo and behold,
while it didnt restore the wire
to its original condition, it smoothed
it enough to make it useful again.

Crafting Conundrums: Puzzles and Patterns for the Bead Crochet Artist
The Chilli bead from Preciosa is

a elongated two-hole cupped drop
bead that measures 4 x 11 mm.
Available at local bead shops or online.
by Ellie Baker and Susan Goldstine

If youve ever tried designing patterns for bead crochet bracelets, you may know
that it can be a tricky affair because the tubular, spiraling structure makes it a
challenge to visualize how a pattern will take shape and how repeated iterations
will link together. Ellie Baker and Susan Goldstine have puzzled over this issue for
years, and this new book reveals the secrets they have learned along the way
about designing successful patterns for seamless bead crochet bracelets.
Coming from a mathematical perspective, Baker and Goldstines exploration of
the challenges and their solutions is engaging and compelling for those interested
in understanding the mechanics of geometric patterning. For those who would
rather skip the analysis and dive right into make something beautiful, the nearly
100 bracelet patterns offer a wide range of styles to create. If youre new to bead
crochet, the thorough step-by-step guide will get you going.
If you are at all interested in bead crochet, this book is a must. With additional
explorations of tesselations, mobius bands, knotted designs, and more, Crafting
Conundrums offers many years of inspiration and companionship for the bead
crochet student or accomplished artist.

Bead Play Every Day

by Beth Stone
Beths third book is a good match for the beader who knows the basic stitches
and is ready to learn more. The 20 projects feature a variety of techniques and
variations along with easy-to-read illustrations and photos. Once you learn the
basic techniques, you can combine the stitches and components to create your
own one-of-a-kind designs. This is a great book for using the wide variety of beads
you may already have in your stash, so get your beads out and play!
Kalmbach Books ISBN 978-1-62700-081-9 www.JewelryandBeadingStore.com
Alligator clip clasps are very versatile

and come in a variety of themes. The
clasps have large attachment loops that
are great for multi-strand designs, cord,
or leather, and this unique design makes
them easier to open and attach than
lobster claw clasps. Find them and other
designs at www.firemountaingems.com.
Diamond Weave
by Cath Thomas and Gerlinde Lenz
Looking for something new? Try a new stitch called the diamond weave. Learn the
basic stitch along with more complex variations including the hexagon and octagon weaves, a Chinese coin motif weave, and the Waffle weave. This book offers
more than 20 diverse projects of different skill levels for those with some beading
experience. The end result may look similar to other beading stitches, but the path
to get there is very different. Enjoy the journey!

Four heads are better than one
When I got my cards for my custom beaded jewelry business,

I realized I needed a beaded business card holder. So I
designed these card holders in peyote stitch using cylinder
beads, two-hole tiles, SuperDuos, and bugle beads. These were
all beaded by me, except the blue one, which was stitched by
my friend Kathy Callow. Tutorials are available on my Etsy site.
This four-way collaboration began when my sister, Becky,

asked Judie Mountain (www.judiemountain.etsy.com)
to design a necklace with my sterling silver and bronze
firefly focal bead. I inscribed the quotation Love must
be as much a light as it is a flame (Thoreau) on the
sides because fireflies use their light to attract a mate.
Judie used her own and her partner Wayne Robbins
lampwork beads along with an assortment of Czech
glass, natural stone, and metal to create this rich design.

correct number of stitches for

is complete, it will be easier
to keep track of your stitches
because you will always

TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP
marker between each row of

beads, if desired (photo k).
Do not cut the cord.
2 Make a slip knot about 6 in.
(15 cm) from the end of the
cord, and insert your crochet
hook into the loop of the slip
knot. Work 16 chain stitches
without beads (photo l).
3 Join the chain into a ring.
4 Work in single crochet
(without any beads) until
you have a short tube that
is about 38 in. (1 cm) long.
This unbeaded tube will slide
into the barrel clasp later, so
test the fit now before moving
on. Make sure you have 16
stitches in each round.
5 Slide the first 16 beads up
to within about 6 in. (15 cm)
of the hook. Work 16 stitches
in bead single crochet, sliding one bead up to the hook
before the first yarn-over of
each stitch (photo m).
note
If you are getting near
the end of the first beaded
round and have more
beads left than there are
stitches in the previous
round, dont worry. Just
work an extra beaded
stitch in one or more
stitches in the previous
round to make sure you
end up with a total of 16
beads in the first round.
6 Working with the next 16

beads, continue in bead
single crochet, sliding one
bead into position before the
first yarn-over of each stitch.
7 Repeat step 6 until the
bead crochet rope is the
desired bracelet length (less
the length of the clasp) or
youve used all the strung
beads. There are about
12 rounds per inch of com-
pleted beadwork. To take a

break, insert a safety pin or
locking stitch marker into
the loop before setting your
work down. This will ensure
that your work doesnt accidentally come undone.
8 When the beaded portion
is the desired length, work
about 38 in. (1 cm) of
unbeaded single crochet.
Leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail,
trim the cord, and pull it
through the last loop.
Finishing
1 Gently slide the bead crochet tube onto a length of
316 in. (5 mm) braided cord
(photo n), being careful to
avoid snagging your work.
Align the cord so the end sits
just inside the end of the tube.
2 Thread a tapestry needle
on one tail, and sew through
the unbeaded portion of the
tube and the core (photo o).

Sew back and forth a few
times to secure the cord in
the tube, and trim the tail.
3 Fill the well of a clasp
component about halfway
with adhesive, and slide
the unbeaded end of the
tube into the well (photo p).
Allow to dry.
4 Repeat steps 13 at the
other end of the tube. w
stringing mistakes
Extra bead
If, once youre working, you find that youve strung
an extra bead, the easiest solution is to simply
crush the errant bead. To avoid cutting the cord,
place the bead in the round hole of a pair of
crimping pliers, and squeeze. Another option is to
break the bead from within: Place the bead on
your work surface, and insert a pin that is thicker
than the bead hole is large. Force the pin into the
hole until the bead breaks.
22
Missing bead
If you discover that you missed a bead, the best
option is to skip that spot and go back later to
add the missing bead. To do that, when you get
to the spot where the missed bead was supposed
to go, simply work a beadless stitch. After you
are done with the piece. Anchor a short length
of beading thread in the crochet tube, and exit
at the point where the missing bead belongs.
Sew the bead in place, angling it the same way
as all the others.

THE BUSINESS OF BEADING
Tax time!
Taxes exemptions, deductions, claims,
and licenses can be tricky, and vary
by state. Make sure you get it right by
consulting an accountant.
by Leslie Rogalski
Taxes are confusing, to put it simply. As vendors,

we charge, and pay, taxes but do we always have to?
Most tax questions and answers will come down to whether
you are operating as a business or hobby. Youll want to get
it right if you dont want the taxman to come down on you.
The best way to clear up the confusion is to talk to an expert.
My accountant, Jori M. Culp, of Smoker, Smith and Associates
PC in Hershey, Pennsylvania, helped answer some of the top
questions I hear in our creative community.
Do I need a sales license?
The laws vary by state, so check your states website for

specifics. Look into two licenses to obtain: a license to be
exempt from paying sales tax on your purchases, and a license
to charge sales tax for items you resell. These both differ from
the wholesale license, which is for those who buy items in bulk
from manufacturers and sell them to retailers. (Note: If you also
sell items retail, you are not a wholesaler.)
In addition, if you sell jewelry or kits at a show or fair
outside of your state of residence, contact that state about
its temporary sales licenses, for which you may have to pay
a fee. Some states issue a Special Event Collection Report
(which you can use to submit paperwork and payment after
the event) or send a tax collector directly to the venue to
collect the taxes in person at the end of the event. Dont be
alarmed; they will walk you through it but do be sure to
ask for their credentials.
exemption on all purchases for your business, you can

itemize deductions on other business supplies that wont
be transferred as goods to a buyer.
4
5
What about sales taxes and kits?
You dont pay sales tax for supplies that go into kits to
be resold. You do charge sales tax for your kits. Make sure
to know what the tax rate is for each state in which you sell.
Do I charge sales tax for online sales?
Again, this may vary from state to state. As of November

2015, you only owe sales tax for sales delivered in your
home state. Otherwise report only your income from online
sales. Digital deliveries are not taxed in my home state of
Pennsylvania: we dont charge sales tax for a PDF download
someone orders and prints themselves. But if the delivery
address for a physical product ordered online is in your home
state, you do charge sales tax. So far there is no other sales
tax online, but these rules are under scrutiny. Stay informed!
Hobby or job?
Even if you have another unrelated job, you can claim

expenses against your jewelry business, but the burden
is on you (the taxpayer) to prove intent to make a profit, time
and effort, dependence on that income, future expectations,
experience, and knowledge in your area. These factors are
used by the IRS to label an activity as a business or a hobby
and will affect deductions.
What about home deductions?
If you act as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC you

must have a regular and exclusive dedicated space
in which you conduct business to deduct home expenses
such as mortgage, real estate taxes, utilities, etc. A simplified
method for home office deductions uses the square footage
of your studio space, so calculate that to share with your
accountant. Sorry, but the dining room table doesnt count.
Your space must be exclusive.
Should I incorporate or become an LLC?
When do I need to prove I have a license?
States may also send an official to craft shows to do

random license checks. Play by the rules. Your license
to charge sales tax should be handy at your booth. You also
need to provide your suppliers with your tax exemption number so you dont pay sales tax on applicable purchases.
Only if they are used in items you resell. Then you must
charge sales tax when you sell the finished goods using those
items. You are exempt from paying sales tax on beads, wire,
findings, and so forth, but not your tools, studio storage, or
promotional material. Although you cant claim a sales tax
24
What tax records should

I keep?
We pay taxes according to

income and expenses, determined by
lucadp/istock
When am I exempt from paying sales tax

on things I buy for my business?
There are definite tax advantages that might be

helpful to you as an LLC (Limited Liability Corporation),
C corporation, or S corporation. Whether one of the latter
two is right for you depends on the size of your business
and its profitability. Either one of them requires legal consultation, which may be costly. For a small business, an LLC is
related to liability and would protect personal assets from
a lawsuit. Ask your accountant if incorporating would be
beneficial to your specific situation.
Mackon/istock
tracking cost of goods and inventory. Even a box of receipts to

tally up at tax time is better than nothing. (But keep a spreadsheet or use tax software.) Daunting, yes, but start by tracking
new purchases and gradually add in existing inventory. The
equation is simple: starting on any chosen Day 1, track purchased quantities. On the end date (when taxes are figured
out) track whats left. This gives the value of what has been
used (removed) from inventory.
10
How do I get started?
If you have an accountant already, make sure

they are knowledgeable about your specific
needs. If you need one, ask close friends in similar smallbusiness situations who they use. Many cities have services
that provide free or low-cost accounting and legal aid to

artists check with your local branch of Volunteer Lawyers
and Accountants for the Arts. Find an accountant, as they will
have the best answers to help guide you through the tax confusion. And remember, accountants fees are deductible! w

Pre-mixed bead blends are

great, but it can be hard to
know what to do with them. Start
with a pair of earrings and then
see where the beads take you!
by Julia Gerlach
BEAD WEAVING
Beaded
diamonds
Bead mixes vary some
contain several shades of the
same size bead whereas others, like the one I used, contain beads of several different
colors and styles. This bead
mix contains three colors of
110 seed beads, four colors
of 80 seed beads, one color
of 60 seed beads, and two
colors of 6 mm bugle beads.
For these earrings, youll
need one color each of 110s
(seafoam) and 80s (gold)
and both colors of bugle
beads (I used the shiny one
as color A and the matte
one as color B). You wont
need all the beads in all
three packages of the mix,
but youll probably need all
three packs to make sure
26
you have enough of each

individual bead. Its better
to have too many than fall
short. And these packages
are inexpensive three
packages cost less than $4!
Earring dangle
1 On 2 yd. (1.8 m) of thread,
pick up four 80 seed beads.
Leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail,
tie the beads into a ring
with a square knot, and sew
through the first 80 again.
2 Pick up an 110 seed bead,
and sew through the next 80.
Repeat this stitch three times,
exiting the first 80 (figure 1).
3 Pick up a color A bugle
bead, an 110, an A, an 80, an
A, an 110, and an A, and sew
through the 80 your thread
exited at the start of this step

(figure 2, ab). Retrace the
thread path through the
bugles, skipping the seed
beads, and sew through the
first bugle again (bc). Pull
tight so the seed beads pop
out at the corners, forming
a diamond shape.
4 Pick up an A, and sew
through the first bugle again
(figure 3). Pull tight so the
bugles are side by side. Note:
figures 38 show the bugles
spread apart so you can see
thread paths, but in reality,
they should be tight together.
Pick up a color B bugle, and
sew through the adjacent A
(figure 4). Sew back through
the B and the first A again,
and then sew through the
adjacent A and the next 80

(figure 5).
5 Pick up an A, an 110, an A,
an 80, an A, and an 110, and
sew through the adjacent A
and 80 (figure 6, ab).
Retrace the thread path
through the bugles, skipping
the seed beads, and sew
through the first bugle again
(bc). Pull tight.
6 Repeat steps 45 twice.
Sew through the adjacent
A in the first diamond and
the A your thread just exited
(figure 7). Add a B as before,
and sew through the beadwork to exit an 80 at the tip
of a diamond (figure 8, ab).
7 Sew through all the tip 80s
(bc), and pull them into a
tight ring.

1 On a head pin, string an
110 and one end hole of a
diamond. String two bugles
on the head pin, and then
guide the head pin through
the other end hole of the
diamond. String an 110,
and make a wrapped loop.
2 Open the loop of an ear
wire, attach the dangle, and
close the loop.

what else?
After youre done with the earrings, make more
projects with the leftover beads. Make another
pair of earrings with different bead colors, or
see what else you can come up with. I made
this pendant with my leftovers (plus a few extras
from my stash). You can get the instructions

CRAW 1
CRAW 2
Each cubic right-angle weave (or CRAW)

unit has six surfaces four sides, a top,
and a bottom. Each surface is made up of
four beads, but since the beads are shared,
12 beads are used to make the first unit,
and only eight beads are used for each
subsequent CRAW unit. For clarity, we used
two colors of beads in the how-to photos.
Working the first CRAW unit
1 On the specified length of thread, pick

up four beads. Tie the beads into a ring with
a square knot (Basics, p. 68), leaving the
specified length tail, and continue through
the first two beads in the ring. This ring of
beads will count as the first stitch of the unit.
2 Work two right-angle weave stitches off
of the bead your thread is exiting to create
a flat strip of right-angle weave (Basics).
CRAW 5
CRAW 6

CRAW 3
3 To join the first and last stitches: Pick up

a bead, sew through the end bead in the first
stitch (CRAW 1, ab), pick up a bead, and
sew through the end bead in the last stitch
(bc). CRAW 2 shows a three-dimensional
view of the resulting cube-shaped unit.
4 To stabilize the unit, sew through the four
beads at the top of the unit (CRAW 3). Sew
through the beadwork to the bottom of the
unit, and sew through the four remaining
beads. This completes the first CRAW unit.
Working more CRAW units
1 Each new CRAW unit is worked off

of the top four beads of the previous unit.
These beads are identified in CRAW 4.
Sew through the beadwork to exit one
of these top beads.
2 For the first stitch of the new unit: Pick

up three beads, and sew through the top

bead your thread exited at the start of this
step. Continue through the three beads just
picked up (CRAW 5). Sew through the next
top bead in the previous unit.
3 For the second stitch of the new unit:
Pick up two beads, and sew through the
side bead in the previous stitch, the top
bead your thread exited at the start of this
stitch (CRAW 6), and the next top bead
in the previous unit.
4 For the third stitch of the new unit:
Repeat step 3 (CRAW 7), and continue
through the side bead in the first stitch
of the new unit.
5 For the fourth stitch of the new unit:
Pick up a bead, and sew through the side
bead in the previous stitch and the top
bead in the previous unit (CRAW 8).

6 To make the unit more stable, sew

through the beadwork to exit a top bead
in the new unit, and sew through all four
top beads (CRAW 9). This completes the
new CRAW unit.
7 Repeat steps 26 for the desired
number of CRAW units.
Working a joining unit

A joining unit is used to connect two
completed CRAW units to each other.
Units may be joined end to end or
perpendicular to one another (as
shown here).
1 Sew through the beadwork to exit
a top bead in one unit.
2 For the first stitch of the joining unit:
Pick up a bead, sew through the corresponding bead in the other unit, pick up
a bead, and sew through the bead your
thread exited at the start of this step
(CRAW 10). Sew through the first bead
added and the adjacent bead in the next
side. If you are joining pieces at an angle,
try to do the stitches on the inside of the
angle first.
3 For the second stitch of the joining
unit: Pick up a bead, and sew through
the corresponding bead in the other unit, the
previous joining bead, the bead your thread
exited at the start of this stitch (CRAW 11),
and the bead just added. Sew through the
adjacent bead in the next side.
4 For the third stitch of the joining
unit: Pick up a bead, and sew through
the corresponding bead in the other unit,
the previous joining bead, the bead your
thread exited at the start of this stitch
(CRAW 12), and the bead just added.
Sew through the adjacent bead in the
next side.
5 For the fourth stitch of the joining unit:
All beads are already in place. Simply
sew through the four beads that remain
unconnected (CRAW 13).

ARTIST PROFILE
Douglas W. Johnson
Douglas W. Johnson
depicts life, nature,
and whimsy on his
beaded loomwork
canvases.
by Julia Gerlach
Call it an obsession or a calling if

you wish, but Douglas W. Johnson prefers the

word passion. After 45 years of creating loomwork

tapestries, Dougs enthusiasm for his craft keeps
him excited about every project he starts. Before
Im even done with one, Im anxious to finish so I
can start the next one.
In 1970, Doug was a guitarist and songwriter in
a Boston-area folk band called Sweet Potato Pie.
Bandmate Lana Pettey introduced him to beads,
and he took to stringing colorful necklaces
hippie stuff, as he puts it. Lana eventually introduced Doug to beaded loomwork. And that was
it I was hooked, he says. First thing I did was
build a long loom so I could make a guitar strap.
It was 25 beads wide and about 3 feet long, and
I mounted it onto leather. I still have that strap,
though I dont use it anymore. While he worked
on the strap, Doug had visions of working on
something wider. I made another loom, so I could
make a scene, he says, referring to his first beaded
tapestry, a folk-art style rural landscape in bright
colors. Back then, beads were hard to come by.
I got my beads at a Tandy Leather store, and they

had something like eight colors of seed beads.
He used what he could find and for the next
15 years or so, dabbled with beading, making
a handful of pieces.
Expanded horizons
In the late 80s, Doug discovered Garden of Beadin
in California. They had probably 100 colors of seed
beads, and I think I bought them all, he says. As
he added to his palette, he was able to add more
depth and dimension to his work. His pieces got
bigger and bigger over the next decade and he
refined his techniques and style, making ever-larger
looms to accommodate his pieces. I also made
extensions for my looms so I could make different
shapes, like circles and triangles.
Eventually confining his work to rectangles and
squares (shapes that are easy to frame), Doug
has created more than 330 works of beaded art,
each containing anywhere from 20,000 to more
than 300,000 110 seed beads, the only size he
uses. His iconic scene of Fenway Park, View from

the Green Monster, is 30 x 35 in. (76 x 89 cm)
and includes about 212,000 seed beads. His
largest work to date, Mouth of the Merrimack,
is 22 x 74 in. (57.2 cm x 1.9 m) and contains
more than 340,000 beads. Depending on the size
and complexity, each piece takes him up to four
months to complete. Now retired from his work
as bartender and music manager, Doug spends
most of his time working in his bead bunker, as
he refers to his basement beading studio. And
his bead stash has grown considerably it now
includes about 1000 shades of seed beads and
over the course of the years, he has used more
than 15 million of these glittering jewels in his work.
But whos counting?
Handcrafted looms, unique methods

With each project he undertakes, Doug strings
up one of his many handmade looms, and goes
to work. I usually have an idea of what I want to
portray, though I dont always know how Im going
to get there. Sometimes Ill take some snapshots of
a landscape and use them as a guide, but other
times I just bead what I see in my head.
For many years, Doug continued to work his
pieces in strips that were 25 beads wide, joining
them together upon completion. It took me
1520 years to figure out that I didnt have to do
it that way, he laughs, noting that he is completely
self-taught and learned everything he knows
through trial and error. Though he no longer makes

separate strips and sews them together, he still works

his pieces 25 beads at a time because it means
picking up just a needles worth of beads at once,
eliminating the need to count beads. Approaching
his canvases somewhat like a painter would, he
works each tapestry in sections, rather than working
row-by-row all the way across the piece.
Many of Dougs works are held in private collections, including eight that are owned by Fidelity
Investments. His works are predominantly landscapes
and cityscapes, though he has delved into abstracts
and thematic pieces as well, such as Cocktail, anyone?, which depicts party-goers all speaking on cell
phones instead of talking to each other. His most

recent piece, a collage inspired by famous blues
musicians, is simply called Blues.
With pieces ranging from folksy to realistic, Dougs
style is hard to pin down. But regardless of the subject matter, he approaches every design with the
fervor of a new devotee. Day after day, he captures
tiny slices of life in each beaded canvas, creating
one scene after another. w

BEAD EMBROIDERY
PLAYFUL PINWH
Pendant
1 Cut a 2-in (5 cm) square of beading
foundation and two 2-in (5 cm) squares
of Ultrasuede. Apply a thin coat of E6000
around the perimeter of the beading
foundation, and center a piece of
Ultrasuede on top. Allow the glue to dry,
and set the other piece of Ultrasuede
aside for later.
2 Tie an overhand knot at the end of
1 yd. (.9 m) of conditioned thread. Center
the enamel cabochon on the piece of
glued Ultrasuede and foundation, and hold it
in place. Sew up through the back of the foundation and Ultrasuede, exiting the center of an oval-shaped
hole on the outer edge of the cab. Pick up a 3 mm crystal
and a 150 seed bead (photo a), and sew back through
the crystal, Ultrasuede, and foundation. Pull the thread
tight, and repeat this stitch seven times to add a crystal
in each remaining hole. End the thread.
3 Tie an overhand knot at the end of 1 yd. (.9 m)

of
thread. Sew up through the back of the foundation
and Ultrasuede, exiting near the outer edge of the
cab. Work in beaded backstitch around the cab
(photo b): Pick up two 110 seed beads for each
stitch, line them up next to the cab, and sew back
down through the Ultrasuede and foundation.
Sew up between the two beads and through
the second bead just added. End with an even
number of beads, and sew through the first 110
added in the round, the Ultrasuede, and the
foundation. End the thread.
4 Carefully trim the foundation and Ultrasuede close to the 110s,
being careful not to cut any threads. Apply a thin coat of E6000 to
the back of the foundation, and center the other piece of Ultrasuede
on it. Allow the glue to dry, and carefully trim the Ultrasuede around
the perimeter of the beadwork using the edge of the foundation
as a guide.

Embellishment and bail

1 Tie an overhand knot at the end
of 1 yd. (.9 m) of conditioned thread,

and sew up between the foundation
layers with the needle exiting an 80
edge bead. Pick up a 150 seed bead,
sew down through the adjacent 80,
and sew back up through the next 80.
Pick up a crystal and a 150, and sew
back through the crystal and the 80
your thread exited at the start of this
step. Continue up through the next
80 (photo d). Repeat these two
stitches eleven times to add a
total of 12 crystals, and then add
another 150 in the same manner.
2 To determine the number of loops
needed to make the bail, count the
number of unembellished 80s. This
number might vary, depending on
how many 80s were used in the edging.
An odd number of 80s will need three
loops for the bail, and an even number
of 80s will need two loops for the bail.
Pick up 14 110s, sew back through
the 80 your thread exited at the start
of this step (photo e), and continue
up through the adjacent 80. Repeat
this stitch to make a total of two or
three loops, and end the thread.
3 String the bail on a strand of silk
ribbon. w

cabs foundation and Ultrasuede, hiding the knot between
the two layers and exiting the back of the Ultrasuede about
1 mm from the edge.
6 Work a brick stitch edging: Pick up two 80 seed beads,
sew up through the foundation layers one beads width
away from where the thread is exiting, and continue back
through the second bead just added. For each subsequent
stitch, pick up one 80, sew up through the three layers
one beads width away from where the thread
is exiting, and continue up through the new
bead just added. Repeat this stitch around
the perimeter (photo c). After adding
the final bead, sew down through the
first bead in the edging, through the
foundation layers, and back through
the first bead again. End the working
thread in the edging beads.

end of 2 yd. (1.8 m) of thread.
With one needle, pick up
a 3 mm fire-polished bead,
a barrel bead, a fire-polished
bead, and a barrel. Cross
the other needle through the
last barrel added, and center
the beads on the thread.

With both needles, retrace
the thread path, exiting at
figure 1, points a and aa.
2 With each needle, pick
up a fire-polished bead.
With one needle, pick up
a barrel, and cross the other
needle through it (ab and

aabb). With each needle,
retrace the thread path
(not shown in the figure
for clarity). Repeat this step
twice (bc and bbcc).
3 With each needle, pick
up a fire-polished bead, and
sew through the first barrel

added to form a ring (cd
and ccdd). With each
needle, retrace the thread
path (not shown in the figure
for clarity), and continue
through the next fire-polished

Because 150s
may vary slightly in size,
you may need to adjust
the number of 150s so they
fit snugly between the 110s
on each end.
Repeat these stitches to
add 150s on the other side
of the same 110s (bc and

This pendant can be made

with either SS40 or SS45
round rhinestone chatons.
(The purple/bronze pendant
features SS40, and the blue/
silver pendant uses SS45.)
Tips are provided below
for adjusting bead counts
based on your chaton size.
The illustrations are shown
using SS40 chatons.
Outer chatons
1 On 30 in. (76 cm) of
thread, pick up 12 150 seed
beads. Tie the beads into
a ring with a square knot,
leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail.
Sew through the first 150
in the ring.
2 Pick up five 150s. Skip a 150
in the ring, and sew through
the following 150 to form a
loop (figure 1, ab). Repeat
this stitch five times to complete the round, making a
total of six loops (bc). Sew
through the first three 150s
in the first loop to exit the
center 150 (cd).

FIGURE 6
3 Pick up three 150s. Sew

through the 150 your thread
exited at the start of this step,
sewing in the same direction,
to form a picot (figure 2, ab).
Sew through the following
150s as shown to exit the
center 150 in the next loop
(bc). Repeat these stitches
five times to add a picot to
each loop, and sew through
the beadwork to exit the center 150 in the first picot (cd).
4 If you are using SS40 chatons, pick up two 150s, and
sew through the center 150
in the next picot (figure 3,
ab). (If you are using SS45
chatons, pick up three 150s
between the picots.) Repeat
this stitch five times to complete the round (bc), pulling
gently on the thread to begin
forming a cup shape, but do
not tighten. Sew through the
first two 150s added in this
step (cd).
note
Make sure you are

always sewing through the
FIGURE 7
center 150 of each picot,

as the picots may be
tipped to one side.
5 Place a chaton face up

in your beadwork, so that
the point of the chaton exits
the starting ring of 12 150s.
Pull the thread tight to cinch
the last round to the face
of the chaton (figure 4).
note
If you are using

SS45 chatons and have
thread showing between
the 150s in the last round,
return to step 4, and try
adding four 150s between
the picots instead of three,
or alternate three and four
150s between picots.
Retrace the thread path of
the last round, tying a few
half-hitch knots as you go.
Turn your work over, and sew
through the beadwork to
exit the center 150 in one
of the loops made in step 2
(figure 5, point a).
6 Pick up a 150, a 2 mm
round bead, and a 150, and
sew through the center 150 in
the next loop (ab). Repeat
this stitch five times to complete the round, and sew
through the first 150 and 2 mm
added in this step (bc).
7 If using SS40 chatons, pick
up a 150, a 2 mm, and a 150,
2 mm (figure 6, ab). Repeat
this stitch five times to complete the round (bc), and
retrace the thread path. Your
bezeled chaton should now
resemble a hexagon with six
sides and a 2 mm at each
corner. End the working
thread and tail.
If using SS45 chatons,
work as above for a few
stitches. If you have a lot of
thread showing, try picking
up two 150s, a 2 mm, and
two 150s for each stitch.
8 Make a total of six outer
chatons.
Center chaton
Work as in steps 16 of Outer
chatons, and end the working thread and tail. The center chaton will be slightly
smaller than the others.
Connections
1 Add a comfortable length
of thread to an outer chaton,
exiting a corner 2 mm in a
clockwise direction. Place
another outer chaton next
to this one, aligning the
corner 2 mms.
2 Work a join with three rightangle weave (RAW) stitches:
Pick up an 110 seed bead,
and sew up through the corresponding corner 2 mm of
the new outer chaton. Pick
up a 2 mm, and sew down
through the corner 2 mm
of the first outer chaton.

Continue through the first
110 added (figure 7, ab).
Sew through the 2 mm
between the corner 2 mms
of the new outer chaton,
pick up an 110, and sew
through the corresponding
2 mm of the first outer chaton. Continue through the
110 added in the previous
stitch, the 2 mm of the new
outer chaton, and the 110
just added (bc).
Sew through the next corner 2 mm of the first outer
chaton, pick up a 2 mm,
and sew through the corresponding corner 2 mm of
the new outer chaton. Continue through the 110 added
in the previous stitch, the
corner 2 mm of the first outer
a
c
chaton, and the 2 mm just

added (cd). Sew clockwise
through the beadwork to exit
the next corner 2 mm of the
new outer chaton (de).
3 Work as in step 2 to join all
six outer chatons into a ring,
as needed. Be sure to join
the last chaton to the first.
Exit a connecting 2 mm
that is, one of the 2 mms
added in the connecting
RAW stitches on the inside
of the ring.
4 Place the center chaton
inside the ring so that its
2 mms fall between the connecting 2 mms. Pick up a
150, sew through the next
2 mm of the center chaton,
pick up a 150, and sew
through the following connecting 2 mm (figure 8,
ab). Repeat these stitches
five times around the center
chaton (bc), and retrace
the thread path of the entire
connection. Sew through the
beadwork to exit a connecting 2 mm on the outside of
the ring as shown (figure 9,
point a).

BASICS
THREAD AND KNOTS
Attaching a stop bead
Conditioning thread
Use a stop bead

to secure beads
temporarily when you
begin stitching: Pick up
the stop bead, leaving the desired length
tail. Sew through the stop bead again in
the same direction, making sure you dont
split the thread inside the bead. If desired,
sew through the bead one more time for
added security.
Use wax (beeswax or microcrystalline wax)

or a thread conditioner (like Thread Heaven
or Thread Magic), to condition nylon beading thread and Fireline. Wax smooths nylon
fibers and adds tackiness that will stiffen
your beadwork slightly. Conditioners add
a static charge that causes the thread
to repel itself, so dont use it with doubled
thread. All conditioners help thread resist
wear. To condition, stretch nylon thread to
remove the curl (you dont need to stretch
Fireline). Place the thread or Fireline on
top of the conditioner, hold it in place with
your thumb or finger, and pull the thread
through the conditioner.
Ending and adding thread

To end a thread, sew back through the last
few rows or rounds of beadwork, following
the thread path of the stitch and tying two
or three half-hitch knots (see Half-hitch
knot) between beads as you go. Sew
through a few beads after the last knot,
and trim the thread.
To add a thread, sew into the beadwork
several rows or rounds prior to the point
where the last bead was added, leaving
a short tail. Follow the thread path of
the stitch, tying a few half-hitch knots
between beads as you go, and exit where
the last stitch ended. Trim the short tail.
STITCHES
HERRINGBONE STITCH

1 Work the first row in ladder stitch (see
Ladder stitch: Making a ladder) to the
desired length using an even number
of beads, and exit the top of the last

row (ab) and up through the following
bead in the previous row. Repeat (bc)

sew down through the next bead in the

previous row and up through the following
bead (bc). Continue adding pairs of
beads across the row.
To turn without having thread show on
the edge, pick up an accent or smaller
bead before you sew back through the
last bead of the pair you just added, or
work the Concealed turn below.

2 Add subsequent
beads by picking up one bead, sewing
through the previous bead, and then
sewing through the new bead (bc).
Continue for the desired length ladder.
This technique produces
uneven tension, which
you can correct by zigzagging back through
the beads in the opposite direction.
Forming a ring
With your thread exiting the last bead
in the ladder, sew through the first
bead of the ladder, and then sew
through the last bead again.
PEYOTE STITCH
Concealed turn
To hide the thread on the edge without
adding a turn bead, sew up through the
second-to-last bead in the previous row,
and continue through the last bead
added (ab). Continue in herringbone
across the row (bc). This turn changes the
angle of the edge beads, making the edge
stacks look a bit different than the others.

Two-drop
Work two-drop peyote stitch the same
way as basic flat peyote, but treat pairs
of beads as if they were single beads.
1 To work in even-count two-drop peyote,
pick up an even number of beads that is
divisible by four. For odd-count two-drop
peyote, pick up an even number of beads
that is divisible by two and an odd number.
2 To begin row 3, pick up two beads, skip
the last two beads added in step 1, and
sew back through the next two beads.
Repeat this stitch across the row.
3 For subsequent rows, pick up and sew
through two beads per stitch. Work each
turn the same as in regular flat peyote,
using the odd-count turn if you are working
an odd-count pattern.

Odd-count peyote is the same as evencount peyote, except for the turn on oddnumbered rows, where the last bead of
the row cant be attached in the usual
way because there is no up-bead to
sew through.
1 Begin as for flat even-count peyote,
but pick up an odd number of beads.
Work row 3 as in even-count, stopping
before adding the last bead.
2 Work a figure-8 turn at the end of
row 3: Sew

You can work the figure-8 turn at the
end of each odd-numbered row, but this
will cause this edge to be stiffer than the
other. Instead, in subsequent oddnumbered rows, pick up the last bead
of the row, sew under the thread bridge
between the last
two edge beads,
and sew back
through the last
bead added to
begin the next row.

Tubular
3 Continue working
Tubular peyote stitch follows the same

stitching pattern as flat peyote, but instead
of sewing back and forth, work in rounds.

tie them into a ring with a square knot (see
Square knot), leaving the desired length
tail. If desired, slide the ring onto a dowel.

as in step 2, adding
three beads per stitch
(alternate the direction of the thread
path for each one), until
the first row is the desired length.
Circular
Circular peyote is also worked in continuous
rounds like tubular peyote, but the rounds
stay flat and radiate outward from the
center as a result of increases or using
larger beads. If the rounds do not increase,
the edges will curve upward.
Zipping up
or joining
To join two pieces of
flat peyote invisibly,
match up the two
pieces so the end
rows fit together. Zip
up the pieces by
zigzagging through
the up-beads on
both ends.
RIGHT-ANGLE WEAVE
Flat strip
1 Pick up four beads, and
tie them into a ring with a
square knot (see Square

bead of the first stitch. Pick up a bead,
and sew through the end bead of the
last stitch.
Tubular
1 Work a flat strip of right-angle weave that
is one stitch shorter than needed for the
desired circumference of the tube. Form
the strip into a ring, exiting an edge bead
in the connecting stitch.

STRINGING AND WIREWORK

Crimping
Use crimp beads to secure flexible beading wire. Slide the crimp bead into place,
and squeeze it firmly with chainnose
pliers to flatten it. Or, for
a more finished look,
use crimping pliers:
1 Position the crimp
bead in the hole that
is closest to the handle
of the crimping pliers.
2 Holding the wires
apart, squeeze the
pliers to compress the
crimp bead, making
sure one wire is on
each side of the dent.
3 Place the crimp
bead in the front hole
of the pliers, and position it so the dent is
facing the tips of the
pliers. Squeeze the pliers
to fold the crimp in half.
4 Tug on the wires to
ensure that the crimp bead is secure.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Lets get
Funky
The owner of a bead store, glass studio,
and popular bead camps, Amanda Cosgrove
Paffrath is an enterprising, talented artist that
approaches everything with an infectious sense of fun.
by Connie Whittaker
Q: Your bead store, Funky Hannahs, has been
open for more than 18 years. What made you
want to get into the bead business?
I opened Funky Hannahs mostly because I
couldnt find a local source for beads and supplies, and figured I couldnt be the only person
who liked to bead. This was confirmed when I was
asked by a friend to teach a beading class for kids.
Eighteen kids signed up to make daisy chains with me.
I didnt even have 18 beading needles! Thats when I knew
I had to explore opening a retail store.
Q: How did you come up with the name Funky Hannahs?
I named the store after my mom, Hannah, and four generations of other creative Hannahs in the family. I have their
pictures hanging in the store, the oldest of which dates back
to the 1850s! Our logo comes from a piece of china my
grandmother painted in 1926.
Q: You are also co-owner of the Hot Shop Glass

Studio and Gallery. How did you get started
with that?
I began working with hot glass when I was
in high school and continued through college.
Funky Hannahs had been open for 8 years
when I heard about a local glass artist, Doug
Chaussee, who wanted to open a glass studio.
Together, we opened our state-of-the-art glass blowing
studio in a restored 1880s building.
Q: You created a glass bowl that was awarded to Andrea
Guarino-Slemmons when she won the Excellence in Jewelry
Artistry award at the 2015 Bead&Button Show. What was
your inspiration behind the piece?
Well I have to say, the pressure was on. Andrea is a phenomenal
glass artist, so to create a glass piece for her, I knew it had
to be special. This woman knows glass! I hadnt met Andrea
before so I just created something that I loved and that
showed the beauty and fluidity of glass.
Q: In addition to running your two businesses, I understand
you also host three bead camp retreats a year?
Our camps are held at a historic former college dating back
to 1867 called The DeKoven Center, and is on the shore of
beautiful Lake Michigan in Racine, Wisconsin. People come
back every year to help carry on our camp traditions. We have
an event secretary who records all the funny things that people
say and stuff that happens so we can remember and then
laugh all over again! We have classes, a massage therapist,
a movie night, a late-night pajama run to Funky Hannahs,
and a Sunday morning make-and-take. Most people
eventually go to bed, but sometimes not until the wee
hours of the morning. And we have a Bead Camp Pledge
of Allegiance, but you have to come to find out what it is!
Q: Any new adventures in your future?
Every day is a new adventure. I try and enjoy each moment
and am grateful for the ride! w
