The Bebeaded Story « the z-beads blog February 17, 2010 by zbeads Bebeadeds! In about 2001, I started messing around with beaded beads – seed beads stitched onto round wooden beads (which I call Bebeadeds, because, you know, I have to have a “clever” name for everything I make.) I got the idea from a necklace in one of Sybille Jargstorf’s Bohemian Glass books. spiral brickstitch bebeadeds: 2001 - 2002 Next was peyote stitch. flat circular peyote - 2002 Once I started selling my lampwork, I had much less time on my hands for seed beading. It took me a little while to figure out how and when to decrease, and had to re-learn the difference between Czech and Japanese seed beads. Anyway, I think the whole family thought I was crazy to be spending so much time and effort on seed beads when the lampwork was so much more interesting and lucrative. bebeaded cherry-berry: July 2008 And combined with some of my !

{DIY} How to make your own Eye Pins - Typical House Cat by mskristiina on April 6, 2012 I’ve been on the hunt for a good source for long eye pins. I’ve heard from a couple of you who aren’t able to find them long enough to wear the rings in my tutorial on anything but your tiny pinky finger. Luckily, I attended a beading class last Saturday with my sister at The Beaded Puma* and learned how to make eye pins myself. Honestly, it is so easy. You will need the regular beading tools: Needle-nose pliersRound-nose pliersWire cuttersWirePaper scrapSome sort of writing utensil First, you need to decide the size you want. Then mark a little further up to mark the circumference of the eye you are making, cut it off at the end. Once you have that done, cut a piece of wire as long as your guide. Next, holding it in your left hand, take your needle-nose pliers in your right hand and bend the top towards you where your dot was on your guide. Next, take your round-nose pliers and hold the tip next to the bent portion of the wire to measure it. Voila! xx ks

Dawn Blair's Jewelry and Eclectica Blog Because so many have asked. *For your very first weaving, I suggest you use a very large gauge wire that will be stiff and easy to handle for your two base wires. Here I have used 10 gauge aluminum. I have chosen 24 gauge aqua color enamel coated copper wire so you can easily see the process. * The direction of the wire when weaving on two wires will be, from the outside, over the top, through the middle, under the back, coming back to the outside, then around the outside and over the top, through the inside and ACROSS to the back of the 2nd wire, around the outside, over the top of wire 2, through the middle, around the outside of wire 2 again, through the middle and ACROSS the back of wire 1, and so on.... * You may want to use a piece of blue painters tape to hold the two main wires in place when you first start the weaving. * Starting the weaving near the ends of the wire gives you more control from the very beginning. * I do all my weaving exclusively with my fingers, not tools.

Bianka karkötő ezüstözött drótból (drótékszer készítés) - lépésről-lépésre Íme egy nagyon mutatós és főleg egyszerű drótékszer karkötő, kezdőknek is ajánlom. Szükséges anyagok, eszközök: - 1,0-es lágy drót - 0,4-es lágy drót - 7-8 db bármilyen gyöngy, amin átmegy két szál 1-es drót (ha kicsit lapos a gyöngy, akkor szebben kifekszik a karkötő) - karkötő kapocs - 4 db szerelőkarika - 6-7 db 3-4mm-es ezüst golyó Drótékszer karkötő elkészítése: Az 1-es drótdól 8 cm-es darabokat vágunk. A képen látható módon mind a négy végéből laza csigát hajlítunk. Ebből összesen 7-8 db-ot készítünk (mérettől függően). Három menet után a drótra felfűzünk egy ezüst golyót, majd tovább haladunk a másik szélére. Ott is hajtunk három menetet. A két végére feltesszük a kapcsot. Jó munkát a drótékszer karkötő elkészítéséhez! Készítette: Cleo-design (Schneider Erika) a Drótékszer menü Tanácsadója www.cleo-design.mlap.hu

Wire Macrame Earring Tutorial When I submitted these earrings for the AJE challenge a few months ago a lot of people asked me about the the wire macrame technique so I decided to put together a tutorial which you can adapt to your own design. I had a little difficulty photographing this today as it's a two handed technique and my tripod has gone awol but you can find the basic knotting technique here if you need clarification. Materials Approx. 6" 0.9mm bronze core wire Approx. 12" 0.5mm bronze knotting wire 2 focal beads 2 accent beads/dangles 1 pair of earwires Headpins/wire 2 pairs of pliers Table vice or something to secure your wire Note: Different types and gauges of wire can be used for this and these will give different effects but remember that you may need to adjust the length of the wire according to the gauge used. Step 2 Place your knotting wire beneath the core wire and bring both ends up around the sides. Grip both ends of the wire with your pliers and pull to tighten keeping an even tension. Step 4
