WELCOME!

B&B Extra August 2016

Symbols of love

Please support
our fine sponsor!

big trend in beading lately has been making jewelry with meaning. Spend
just one minute on Etsy or Pinterest and youll find endless bracelets, pendants, and more with warm and encouraging sentiments like Believe in

yourself or Mothers and daughters share an everlasting bond. Stamping words

on metal is the obvious way to work a message into your jewelry, but if you prefer
subtlety, try the projects in this issue of B&B Extra, which symbolize four types of love
and allow you to quietly weave meaning into your jewelry in a not-so-literal way.
Anna Elizabeth Draegers Kisses & hugs bracelet (p. 4) perfectly symbolizes familial
love and friendship. Marla Salezzes Love knots and rivolis earrings (p. 7) symbolize the unity of romantic love. Richard Eivins Beaded crosses (p. 10) reflects spiritual love of the Christian variety. But what of Justyna Szlezaks Wasp nest pendant
(p. 14)? Think of it as symbolic of a messy, tempestuous, and stinging love, frequently made more intense by the close proximity of home living. Whether you
make these for yourself or someone you love, express yourself with beads!

3 With one needle exiting between a
crescent and a 2 mm (with the needle
facing toward the 2 mm), pick up a 150
seed bead, and sew through the next
2 mm. Pick up a 150, and sew through
the following two Bs (figure 4, ab).
Repeat these stitches three times to
complete the round (bc), retrace the
thread path, and end this thread. This
is now the top of the X component.

in step 3, but dont end the thread
(aabb). Sew through the next 150
and 2 mm (bbcc). This will be the
bottom of the component.
5 To make a 734 in. (19.7 cm) bracelet,
make a total of six X components.

Assembly

1 Position an O and X component next

to each other with the X component
on the right. Using the thread from the
X component, pick up a 2 mm, and sew
through the corresponding 2 mm on
the bottom of the O component. Pick
up a 2 mm, and sew through the 2 mm
your thread exited at the start of this
step (figure 5). Retrace the thread path
several times, and end the thread.
2 Position a new O component to the
right of the X component. Using the
thread from the O component, pick up
a 2 mm, and sew through the corresponding 2 mm on the bottom of the
adjacent X component, opposite the
previous connection. Pick up a 2 mm,
and sew through the 2 mm your thread
exited at the start of this step. Retrace
the thread path several times, and end
the thread.

3 Alternate steps 1 and 2 until all

the components are joined in a
straight line.

Clasp

1 Using the remaining thread from

the first O component, pick up three
2 mms, sew through the 2 mm your
thread exited at the start of this step,
going in the same direction to form
a ring, and continue through the first
2 mm added (figure 6, ab).
2 Pick up a 150, and sew through the
next 2 mm in the ring. Repeat this stitch
once (bc), retrace the thread path
several times, and end the thread.
3 Open a jump ring, and attach one
half of the clasp to the ring.
4 With the remaining thread from the
last O component, work as in steps 13
to add the other half of the clasp. w

Crystal shard component

1 On 18-in. (46 cm) of thread, pick

up an even number of 110s, and wrap
them around the crystal shard. They
should just fit around the circumference.
Tie the beads into a ring with a square
knot, leaving an 8-in. (20 cm) tail.
2 Work two rounds of tubular peyote
using 110s.
3 Slip the band around the top-drilled
crystal shard, and anchor it by sewing
through the hole of the crystal and
the opposite 110 in the peyote band.
Exit an 110 along the top edge of
the band.
4 With a thread remaining from the rivoli
bezel, sew through the bezel to exit an
110 in the second round from the face
of the rivoli, opposite the join to the love
knot. Work a peyote strip using one 110
cylinder per row until there are three
110s along each edge (figure 1, cd).
Align the strip to the center of the
crystal shard band, and zip up the
two pieces. End this thread.
5 Using the thread from the crystal
shard band, sew through the beadwork
to exit opposite the strip made in the
previous step, and work a peyote strip
to match the other band. Zip the strip
to the peyote bezel (attaching it to
the second round of 110s from the back

of the rivoli), and end this and any

other remaining threads.

Peyote ring

1 On 12-in. (30 cm) of thread, pick up

two 110 cylinders. Work in flat peyote
stitch, picking up one bead per row,
until you have 15 110s along each
edge (figure 2).
2 Wrap the strip around the other side
of the love knot, and join the ends
(photo c). End the threads.
3 Open a 9 mm jump ring, and attach
the earring finding to the peyote ring. w

Earrings

1 On 1 yd. (.9 m) of thread, pick up

a 4 mm fire-polished bead. Leaving
a 6-in. (15 cm) tail, sew through the
4 mm again, creating a thread bridge
along one side of the bead (figure 1,
ab). Repeat this stitch, tying a square
knot with the working thread and tail
before sewing through the 4 mm, to add
a second thread bridge (bc). Pull the
knot into the 4 mm, and end the tail.
2 Working in brick stitch, pick up two
color A 110 seed beads, sew under
the thread bridge, and continue
back through the last A picked up
(figure 2, ab).
3 Pick up an A, sew under the thread
bridge, and continue back through
the A just picked up (bc). Repeat this
stitch five times for a total of eight As
encircling the 4 mm (cd).
4 Sew through the first A picked up in
the ring, under the thread bridge, and
continue through the second A added
(de). These two beads will be row 1
for the top section of the cross.
5 Work in brick stitch for row 2 of the top
section as follows: Pick up an A and a
color B 110 seed bead, sew under the
thread bridge between the two beads
in row 1, and sew back up through the
B just added (figure 3, ab). Pick up an
A, sew under the thread bridge in row 1,
and sew back up through the A just

Row 5: Decrease start stitch: Pick up
an A and a B, sew under the second-tolast thread bridge in the previous row,
and sew back up through the B just
added. Sew through both beads to
align them (not shown in the figure for
clarity), and exit the B. Work one regular
stitch using a B and one stitch using
an A (bc).
8 Sew through the next two Bs in the
last row (figure 5, ab). Pick up five As,
and sew back through the first A just
picked up and under the adjacent
thread bridge, centering the loop
between the two Bs. Sew back through
the five As again to reinforce the loop
(bc). Sew through the beadwork to exit
the next A in the ring to be in position to
start the left section of the cross (cd).
This A and the adjacent A in the ring
will be row 1 of the left section.
9 Repeat steps 57 to add the left
section (de).
10 To make a point at the tip of this
section, sew under the thread bridge
between the two center Bs in the last
row (ef). Pick up an A, and sew under
the same thread bridge (fg) and back
through the A. Sew under the same
thread bridge, and then continue
through the beadwork to exit the next
A in the ring to be in position to start the
bottom section of the cross (gh). This A
and the adjacent A in the ring will be
row 1 of the bottom section.
11 Work the bottom section as follows:
Row 2: Work as in step 5 (hi).
Row 3: Work a decrease stitch with
two As (ij).
Rows 48: Repeat steps 57 (jk) and
then repeat step 10 (kl), exiting the
next A in the ring to be in position to
add the right section of the cross.
12 Repeat steps 57 and 10 to add the
right section, and end the thread.
13 Open the loop on the earring findings, and attach it to the top loop of As.
14 Make a second earring.

Pendant

changes:
In step 1, pick up a 6 mm fire-polished
bead instead of a 4 mm.

In step 3, add 10 As in the ring instead

of eight.
When adding the sides of the pendant, you will be attaching them to
three side beads in the ring instead
of two (figure 6).
Work the remainder of the pendant
following the pattern in figure 6, but
do not create a loop of As at the top
add a point as in step 10 instead.
Do not end the thread instead, sew
through the beadwork to exit the top
point A of the cross, and set the working
thread aside.

Daisy chain necklace

1 On a comfortable length of thread,

pick up four As, leaving an 8-in. (20 cm)
tail. Sew through all the beads again,

and position them in pairs to sit

with the holes parallel to each other
(figure 7, ab).
2 Pick up eight As, and sew through
the A adjacent to the A your thread
exited at the start of this step to form
a ring (bc).
3 Pick up a B, a C, and a B, skip four
As in the ring, and sew through the
next A, going in the same direction
(cd). This completed daisy chain
unit has three As on each side and
two As at each end.
4 Pick up two As, and sew through
the two adjacent end As and the two
As picked up in this step (de). The two
new As are the starting end As of the
next daisy chain unit.
5 Repeat steps 24 (ef) until you reach

the desired length, ending with an

odd number of units. You will switch
between working clockwise and
counter-clockwise with each unit.
End and add thread as needed.
6 Pick up two As, the loop of a clasp,
and two As, and sew through the last
two As your thread exited at the start
of the step. Retrace the thread path,
and end the working thread. Repeat
this step using the tail.
7 To join the pendant to the necklace,
find the center unit on the neck chain.
With the working thread from the pendant, sew through the middle A on
one side of the unit. Sew back through
the tip A of the pendant, retrace the
thread path several times, and end
the threads. w

this 4 mm. Repeat this stitch seven times.
For the last stitch in the round, pick up
three 110s, skip the next 4 mm, and sew
down through the adjacent 110 in the
first picot added in this round and the
center 110 in the picot below, and then
sew back through the same adjacent
110 (figure 5, ab). Sew through the
next two 110s in this round to exit the
center 110 in the first picot (bc).
Round 3: Pick up a 3 mm fire-polished
bead, and sew through the center 110
in the next picot (figure 6). Repeat this
stitch nine times to complete the round,
and then retrace the thread path to
cinch up the beads. Sew through the
first 3 mm added in this round.
Round 4: Pick up four 110s, sew through
the 3 mm your thread exited at the start
of this step, going in the same direction,
and continue through the next 110 and
3 mm (figure 7, ab).
Pick up three 110s, sew through the
adjacent 110 in the previous stitch,
the 3 mm your thread exited at the

start of this step, and the next 110

and 3 mm (bc). Repeat this stitch
seven times.
To complete the round, sew through
the adjacent 110 in the first stitch of this
round (figure 8, ab). Pick up two 110s,
and sew through the last 110 in the
previous stitch (bc). Sew through the
3 mm your thread exited at the start of
this step and the next three 110s above
the next 3 mm (cd).
Round 5: Pick up three 110s, sew
through the last two 110s your thread
exited at the start of this step and the
next two 110s in the previous round
(figure 9, ab).
Pick up two 110s, sew through the
first 110 picked up in the previous stitch
(bc), the two 110s your thread exited at
the start of this step (cd), and the next
two 110s in the previous round (de).
Repeat this stitch seven times.
To complete the round, sew through
the adjacent 110 added in the first
stitch of this round (figure 10, ab). Pick
up an 110, sew through the adjacent
110 in the previous stitch (bc) and the
two 110s your thread exited at the start

of this step (cd), and continue through

the next two 110s in the first stitch of this
round (de).
7 Sew through the middle 110 of each
stitch in the last round to form the center ring, retrace the thread path, and
end the working thread.
8 Using the other needle, repeat steps
67 to form the other half of the bead,
but dont end this thread.
9 Sew through the beadwork as
needed to exit an 110 between two
tile beads (figure 11, point a). Pick up
five 150s, and sew through the 110 on
the opposite edge of the tile bead
(ab). Continue back through the
five 150s just added and the 110 your
thread exited at the start of this step,
going in the same direction (bc).
Sew through the next four 110s along
this edge (cd). Repeat these stitches
nine times to complete the round, and
end the thread.
10 On a head pin, string an 110, a bead
cap, the beaded bead, a bead cap,
and an 110. Make a wrapped loop
above the bead cap, and attach a
jump ring to the loop. w
