Summer fresh projects!

Dear Beaders,

Perlen Poesie 33 arrives as usual with fantastic

projects and lots of useful tips …

… for example, on the subject of "beading

materials": What are the differences and what
is suitable for which jewelry project? Beginning
on page 20, you will find the answers to these
questions and more useful information.

The jewelry of our main protagonist Kinga Nichols

(USA) attracts everyone’s attention. For you, the
former art student and trompe l'oeil (optical
illusion) artist – or illusionist – has designed
magnificent bracelets in embroidery using silk
braids, buttons and beads. Don’t worry, they are
stronger than they look! Just as beautiful – but
completely different in appearance – the bracelet
by Oxana Ripela (Slovak Republic), which she had
designed for the IBA 2016 (From Cubism to Art
Deco) in various beading techniques – Take note:
difficulty level 5!

Find out more about beautiful and practical

things on the news pages, accompany us on a trip
to the 400-year-old glassworks city of Lauscha in
Thuringia, Germany and let yourself be inspired
by snapshots of the BEADERS BEST Bead Art Fair
from April of this year in Stuttgart, Germany.

Last but not least: Take part in IBA 2017. Show

that – and how – technology and nature are 3
compatible. Well-known sponsors are standing by

2 017 to surprise 11 winners: JOHN JAMES, PRECIOSA,

MATUBO, MIYUKI, MODASTRASS, STARMAN,
TOHO. Submission deadline is September 1, 2017.

floral pictures with a pronounced feeling for detail and
depth. The artist left behind paintings, small furniture
and textile room accessories decorated with 6.5 milli-

hours. You’ll find a detailed account of Dorothea Therese

Bead Art Fair Crossover, April 2017 in Stuttgart.
The exhibiting and workshop-giving artists were kept very busy by the constant
stream of visitors. Nevertheless, they were often able to interest visitors to spontane-
ously decide to participate in their courses on beading techniques; most bead enthusi-
asts had selectively pre-registered for the master courses. The BEADERS BEST area
was next to the Mineral-Fossil-Jewelry Fair in Stuttgart, Germany where it attracted
the attention of the classic jewelers and those interested in the purchase of handmade,
finished jewelry. (Continued on page 92) k

Kinga Nichols uses fine silk fabrics, various embossed and/or

glossy leathers, and in addition to glass beads also buttons, fresh-
water pearls, opals, gems, cabochons with pictures and whatev-
er else she found that matches. All edges are carefully bordered
with beads. The pieces are durable and made to last. Each shim-
mers in a different gently-graded color space. Time and again she
is inspired by the animal world. At one with themselves and thus
unaffected by human judgement, these creatures calmly look the
observer in the eye.

t’s not easy to describe her style: it is both flamboyant, with a silky
brilliance and very colorful, then every so often takes on a delightful
absurdity, when she presents jewelry not only as a “beautiful design“,
but rather parallel as a “being” so whimsical and likeable …
The artist describes herself as introverted and not so much as an in-
tuitive, but more a thinking type “with ever-rotating gears in the brain”. She
studied art (without earning a degree), likes to read, and continually works
at improving herself – because “a person can also be a well-rounded, ver-
satile personality without a university degree”.
From the time she could hold a pencil in her hand, she has recreated
her world through her drawings. “Since the age of 6, I have been the proud
winner of a number of competitions in chalk painting – but all I had to show
for them were the sand pails that I had won! In elementary school I was a
member of the art club, in high school (secondary school) I was in a special
art class, and had I finished university, I would have been an art teacher.” Oni Pendant

he road to designing with beads led through a series of de-
tours. At the age of 11, the medium came into her life for the
first time: for a whole summer, she made and gave away bead-
ed crocodiles. This passion quickly vanished again, with beads
re-entering her life when she was 27. At that time she was
earning her living by painting murals. Kinga tells us: “It was a nice job,
but as an introverted person, I found it stressful when the client would
stand behind me for days and ask me if the blue was really right for the
sky and whether it would match the curtains on the window. Yes, my cli-
ents were satisfied at the end, but having to explain to them that the blue
of the sky consisted of several layers, so you couldn’t judge the end result
after only the first one – no, that wasn’t for me. In a shop where I got acryl-
ic paint, I discovered a beading magazine. Spontaneously, I took it with
me, it promised to be a pleasing hobby, something for home – where no
one would ask me annoying questions. I bought a few inexpensive beads

after university she wanted to be an artist
and did a suggested project: a bead-embroidered bracelet. Then I set the
magazine aside and “invented” my first bead-embroidered necklace – it
looked more like a toilet seat … that was a few years before I saw other
publications or met beaders in person. I was captivated by beads, but
worked in a cultural vacuum and invented things that others had already
invented – without me – but that’s how life goes. A few thousand hours
of practice later, I had developed my own style.” Kinga has always stayed
with embroidery – no wonder, as it is still like painting. She also uses oth-
er techniques, but only if they serve her beloved technique, embroidery.
She allows the base to have its own voice: she combines fine silk fabrics
or shiny nappa leather with beads, mother-of-pearl buttons, glass eyes
and found or crafted curiosities into “compositions in Kinga-style”.
ho has supported her and where do her ideas come
from? Her answer: “Since we are all dwarfs, standing
on the shoulders of giants, I have, of course, learned
from already well-known artists, specifically Beki Haley,
Marcia DeCoster [Ed. note: see Perlen Poesie 11] and
Nikia Angel. I also find the works of embroidery artist Sherry Serafini [Ed.
note: see Perlen Poesie 12] highly stimulating. Inspirations that turn into
jewelry come, for example, from the book I‘m reading, or the work of art
I‘m looking at. Sometimes it starts with a certain smell or with things that
my dogs do. My muse and my model is my female boxer, Samantha Re-
gina. Her love of water and swimming, yes, her enthusiasm for fish, has,
for example, sparked my imagination for jewelry with fish themes. I think
and think and finally an idea appears - mostly at night, before I fall asleep.
Samantha has such a charming underbite – it has made an imprint on
my heart and consequently in my art. I like the idea that the things that I
make have always existed somewhere else, and that they find me in their
idea-form because I have an antenna that perceives them, and that I am 19
essentially rebuilding them in reverse.”
Kinga Nichols designs jewelry, sells kits with instructions, teaches from
Alaska to Florida – 2017 for the first time in Europe (BEADERS BEST Bead
Art Fair). Her husband supports her – her two dogs Samantha Regina und
Karl Friedrich haven’t yet taken exception to her travels and are always
happily waiting for her at the airport when she returns. Concerning her
further life plans, she says that the idea that everything is repeated in an
eternal cycle is quite appealing to her and that she would like to remain on
this path – always learning something new. Her creed and her recommen-
dation: “Become who you are!” Andrea Ott

All My Threads
In discussions among bead enthusiasts, the question
frequently arises: “Which kind of thread should I use for
my project?” We then have to ask: “What kind of project
do you have? What technique do you want to use?
What beads are going to be used?”

(1) Jewelry wire (2) Beading silk

F
20 irst, you consider the planned
project (e.g. necklace, 3-D
object or decoration), the
respective technique (e.g.
beadweaving, Soutache,
wire wrapping) and the beads to be
used (from size 15° seed beads to
clunky wooden beads) – and only then
can you pick the right type of thread.
Here are a few examples: If you want
a supple drape to your necklace, or if
the technique itself requires a flexible
thread, an appropriate choice would
be, for example, a polyester or cotton
thread. In the case of 3-D objects, firm-
ness is desired, and when working with
Kumihimo, a somewhat stiffer thread
makes sense, so the use of nylon
thread is recommended. A thread for a
stretchable ring band must be elastic;
a thread for stringing large beads into a
necklace must never stretch and must while jewelry wire made of 7 strands is

beading silk is also a good choice for
heavy beads.
Another possibility for stringing
beads is the use of braided cord (also
called interknitted thread and/or braid-
ed fishing line), which doesn’t stretch,
as does monofilament fishing line. For
stringing projects, the diameter 0.15
or 0.17 is used. The clasp can be sim-
ply and quickly attached using a crimp
bead, just like with jewelry wire.
Beadweaving (with or without
a loom)
Weaving using beads can either be
done using a loom or by hand (using
certain techniques or freestyle). For
weaving with the loom, any non-elastic/
non-stretchy thread can be used. The
only prerequisite is that the diameter is
suitable for the beads being used. For
beading (e.g. in peyote, herringbone or
brick stitch), it is most commonly rec-
ommended to use braided cord/fishing
line (3), such as, for example, FireLine
by Berkley) with a diameter of 0.12 mm
(= 6 lbs.) or a nylon thread (4). Braided
cord is very thin, so that the small-
est of beads can be worked, yet is very
tear-resistant. Since the braided cord
is somewhat stiff, the finished piece of
jewelry is sturdy, so it can be used for
three-dimensional objects, such as, for
example, beaded boxes made in peyote.
Nylon thread (4): If a flexible piece
of jewelry is to be worked or a certain
stretchability of the thread is required,
then nylon thread is an alternative to
the braided cord/fishing line. The se-
lection of (multifilament, twisted) nylon
threads for beadweaving is very large:
the most well-known include One-G by

Threads
(5) Transparent nylon thread
(7) Leather cords
TOHO, KO-Beading Thread by Miyuki 21
and Nozue Sonoko Beading Thread.
Each of these threads has specif-
ic characteristics that make it the ide-
al thread for certain projects; but basi-
cally all of these threads can be used for
the various weaving techniques.
Transparent nylon thread (5) is often
dismissed as being a “crafting thread”
– wrongly. It is slightly stretchy, almost
invisible due to its transparency and is
strong. Thus, 0.25 mm in diameter is
ideal for making 3-D beaded animals.
Tip: This thread is strong enough that
you can use it without needles.
One last member of the group "Nylon
Threads" is elastic thread (6), which
can best be worked using BigEye nee-
dles. It is indispensable for making elas-
tic bracelets or ring bands. Important to
remember: the thinner the thread, the k

Wire Wrapping
This is a very creative technique and
all kinds, colors and shapes of wire and
beads can be used. In general, the thin-
ner the wire, the easier it can be formed,
however the more unstable is the fin-
ished form. A balance between wire
gauge and bead size should be con-
sidered. Thin wire is very flexible, but
it also easily kinks and can even break.
The advantages of thin and thick wire
can be utilized by combining wires of
different gauges in a piece of jewelry.
Now you have references as to which
material can be used with which proj-
ect, with which technique and for which
beads. Let yourself be inspired, but
not limited, and follow Albert Einstein:
“What is conceivable is also feasible.”
Tips
Thread length: Unless specifically
recommended otherwise, a good arm
span of thread is used. Longer threads
are unwieldy and tend to knot.
Stretching: Nylon or cotton threads
often retain their shape when they are
unrolled from the spool – which means
they are twisted – and are thus difficult
to work with. Just let the thread pass
through your closed hand. Pull slow-
ly and place constant pressure on the
thread with your thumb and index finger.
The pull and warmth of your hand has a
smoothing effect on the thread.
Waxing: The majority of beading
threads, such as One-G by TOHO, KO
Thread by Miyuki or FireLine by Berkley
are pre-waxed. The wax surface pre-
vents fraying of the thread and makes it
stiffer. If necessary, the thread can be
re-waxed at any time. For this purpose,
both natural wax (beeswax) and artifi-
cial wax are commercially available.

Klimt‘s Kiss, submitted by Annette
Pohlner (Germany). She writes:
“Gustav Klimt‘s ‚Kiss‘, painted by a
Russian artist as a miniature on a
black lip oyster shell, inspired me
to design my necklace. The “male”
side is predominantly worked with
geometric beads and patterns,
while the “female” side carries
the floral and ornamental pattern
of the woman’s garment. About a
year ago, slowed down by an an-
kle fracture, I began working with
peyote and similar techniques.
Three months ago I designed my
first project in [bead] embroi-
dery. “Klimt‘s Kiss” is already my Caro Bachmann (Germany) has designed this versatile jewelry.

I would like to show it. “We can only zine. I wanted to show you a bit: it is my latest necklace and can

without attached jewelry elements. The latter can be used as
pendants on other necklaces or leather cords. As she shared
with us, this meditative hobby helps her to relieve stress. –

Lauscha – 400 Years of

The small town in the Thuringian Forest owes its
70
existence to the glassmakers who still work here today.

S
ince 2009 Perlen Poesie has been show-
ing how beaded jewelry is made. On our
travels through the beading world, we
visit artists and historical sites. Today,
we are reporting on a place in Germany
where glass has been produced almost
continuously for over 400 years – some-
thing definitely out of the ordinary!
For the production of glass, you need
silica (sand), which is the actual glass-forming substance,
as well as alkali (soda, potash) which is used as flux (to low-
er the temperature at which the silica melts), and lime (the
mineral), used as a curing agent. This mixture is melted to a
viscous mass at a temperature of about 1,500 degrees Cel-
sius. The heat for this was traditionally produced in the so-
called glass furnace by a wood fire, in which stood a glass

pot, made of clay, in which the mixture melted. The pot-

ash was obtained by burning wood. Therefore glassworks 71
(aka glass houses) were usually built directly inside forests.
When the wood of the surrounding area had been harvested,
the glass-making families moved on and began again else-
where. Their cabins of lightweight construction left hardly
any traces. It was different in Thuringian Lauscha. Here the
glassmakers Hans Greiner and Christian Müller received
a glassworks concession from the landowner, the Coburg
duke Johann Casimir in 1597, who also assured them of suf-
ficient wood. Over the decades and centuries, the families
expanded and the descendants founded new glassworks in
the area. Here glass was both produced and processed into
products for everyday use. The range of products includ-
ed, among others, balsam vials (for the medicinal herbs in-
dustry in the region of the Thuringian Forest), inkwells/ink
bottles, weights for clocks, shoemaker’s balls (water-filled,
colorless glass flasks used to collect diffused light from the
sun, oil or gas lamps, then focus that light onto workplaces),
powder horns (for the storage of gunpowder), crown glass
(aka bull‘s-eye panes, these were the first windowpanes –
small and round) and all types of drinking vessels (glasses).

GlasPerlentage: A lampwork glass bead artist introduces spe-
cial techniques (Martina Schlemminger, pictured).
Right: Glass eyes from Lauscha – designed by ocularists (mak-
ers of glass eyes) in Lauscha from the glass of Farbglashütte
(glassworks for colored glass).
They had a greenish hue, due to the high iron content of the
sand, and were also interspersed with tiny bubbles, caused
by remnants of unmelted sand. This type of glass is also
known as forest glass. Today, this appearance is once again
72 considered charming and is imitated using modern meth-
ods, then further processed into bottles, glasses and vases.
L
auscha is known for several extraordinary in-
ventions; for example, it is considered to be the
home of glass Christmas tree ornaments and
Christmas decorations. In the middle of the 18th
century, the glassworks in the village were no
longer able to provide enough work for the growing popu-
lation, and they were looking for new „glass-based“ oppor-
tunities for employment. A descendant of the Greiner fam-
ily imported the method of creating lamp-blown glassware
from the Rhineland to Lauscha. Now even glass could be
softened and shaped in one’s own home in front of an oil or
paraffin burner – and glass jewelry was born: around 1762,
hollow blown beads, then also glass figures and animals. In
1847 a Lauscha glassblower invented colored glass spheres
as ornaments for the Christmas tree. The construction of a
gasworks in Lauscha in 1867 allowed actual mass produc-
tion of this new type of tree decoration, as large and thin-
walled balls could be blown with a very hot gas flame. They
‡ Perlen Poesie ‡ 33 ‡ 2017 ‡
were mirrored from the inside (initially with a poisonous
lead solution, later with silver nitrate) and then dipped by
the family members in colorants, and sometimes partially in
mica particles as well. Demand grew rapidly. Around 1900,
Frank Winfield Woolworth placed an order of about 200,000
balls and other Christmas tree decorations for his depart-
ment store chain in the USA. After an eventful history of two
world wars and the Communist era in the eastern part of
Germany, Christmas tree decorations are now being pro-
duced again in traditional craftsmanship using some more
than 100 years old processes, forms and tools.
Artificial glass eyes became a further source of the do-
mestic economy. Indeed, such things were already available
from France. However, in 1835, Ludwig Müller-Uri created
an artificial human eye out of glass in a quality never seen be-
fore. The somewhat later developed Lauscha cryolite glass
proved to be particularly malleable and therefore well-tol-
erated. The professional branches of ocularist (maker of eye
or ocular prosthetics) as well as animal and doll eye-makers
developed – to this day a highlight of the Lauscha glass art.
During the production of animal eyes out of glass, in 1848
another descendant of Greiner invented marble scissors, a
device for the production of glass marbles.

Glass rose balls from the Farbglashütte Lauscha for garden decoration.
oday‘s „Farbglashütte Lauscha“ (glassworks
for colored glass) has existed for more than 150
years. The adjoining museum for glass art pres-
ents the Thuringian glass from the late Middle
Ages to the present day. Every year in March, the 73
sales fair for artistically shaped glass beads with workshops
for the grinding, engraving and sandblasting of glass beads,
silvering of hollow glass beads, and special techniques for
the production of hollow and solid glass beads. In addition
to this, pulling glass is demonstrated in the glassworks, the
freshly-made glass rods can then be purchased „live“. Tours
concerning the history are available; also the „Lauschaer
Glasprinzessin“ (the Glass Princess of Lauscha) presides

over it all.
We can definitely recommend a visit to the Farbglashütte
Lauscha and the Lauscha GlasPerlentage: it will increase
your appreciation of the history as well as impress you with
how hard the work of the glass production still is. On top of
that, you can train your eye and, in the future, you will be able
to distinguish high-quality, hand-made artist beads from
mass made products of poor quality.

4th sb15-a. Work 2 more CRAW units. In the next CRAW unit, include the sb15-a at the tip of the
large leaf. Work the 2nd half of this element in reversed order.
Middle beam: Attach 5 CRAW units to the main beam starting from the ring (red). Add 6 more
CRAW cubes without connecting them to the main beam. Work 1 CRAW cube, attaching 1 ri6
bezel to the outer side (red) as shown before. Work 6 more CRAW cubes. In the next CRAW
cube, attach the existing ri bezel of the main beam also, using the 7th sb15-a. Add 3 more

edge of the ri6 bezel in the 3rd CRAW cube (red) and attach them to the 8 th CRAW cube (counted
from the upper edge) to the main beam.
Outer beam: Starting from the ring, attach a 2nd CRAW unit (with doubled number of sb13 on
the outer edge) to the middle beam. Add 2 more CRAW cubes, also attaching them to the mid-
dle beam (red). Attach 2 more free CRAW cubes. Attach 1 more CRAW unit, at the same time

Protecting your thread

When you are stitching a project, it is a good idea to move
your needle up a little bit every few stitches. This will avoid
creating a weak spot in your thread, which could lead to your
thread breaking.
Regina Payne, USA

A trick for decreasing in round peyote stitc

h
1. Pass through the two seed beads, one of whic
h is to be skipped.
2. Pick up 1 new seed bead.
3. Thread again through both seed beads from
step 1.
Thus, the new seed bead from step 2 is place
d centr ally over the two existing beads
in the previous round. In this way the beads
are sitting closer together and there is
no large visible hole at the point of decreasing
. This is, for example, very useful for
beading around eggs or large beads.

such as dupion (aka dupioni) silk are embroidered

with mother-of-pearl buttons and beads.

Kinga Nichols, embroidery foundation contributes to the radiance. As she is more concerned
USA with the How-tos of the technique, there is no exact materials list. Each
button has a different size, so different amounts of beads are needed for
bezeling and decorating. Kinga Nichols: “My goal was to design a technique-
based project that could be applied to many other jewelry projects. If you look
at the 5 bracelets and the pendant that came after this basic idea, you have an
idea of what is possible. Follow it closely, or develop this idea further!”

Determine the shape of the bracelet, using
the photo for orientation. The length should
be about 1 cm (1/2˝) more that the circumfer-
ence of the wrist. The width should be adjust-
ed to the buttons to be worked. Cut out the
embroidery foundation.
Use the glue stick to adhere it to the silk and
cut it out all around, adding some selvedge,
as silk tends to fray heavily. Artist’s tip: The
glue stick holds the fabric in place, but it’s
also possible, after it dries, to easily pass
through the glued surface; furthermore, it
doesn’t go through the thin silk fabric. So
please DO NOT use E6000 here!

Roll the silk over the edge of the embroidery

with invisible stitches on the front! It’s not
necessary to additionally glue it. Artist’s tip:
Silk is difficult to clean. Therefore, be sure
to take a break if you stick your finger and

Knowledge of pearl embroidery is a prerequisite. k

Materials
The sizes are variable
1. Embroidery foundation according to your personal preference
(Beading foundation/ Beadsmith, Lacey’s Stiff Stuff, Nicole’s backing).
2. Thin fabric larger than the bracelet (used: Dupion silk in silver with
a gold shimmer, this silk often has beautiful coloring effects, making
it perfect for jewelry projects).
3. Buttons (used: mother-of-pearl buttons in different sizes, the
largest one with a diameter of 40 mm (2“) is the center of the piece.
For a small wrist you should choose a smaller one. You also need
1 mother-of-pearl button with a 20 mm diameter and a total of
8 smaller ones).
4. Seed beads 11° (sb11) for the bezels and seed beads 15° (sb15) for
tapering the bezels (used: seed beads 11° light gray lined transparent,
seed beads 15° gold, these are also used for decorating the edge).
5. Mini Dagger or Rizos (here: Mini Dagger hematite), Miyuki Drops
(here: 3.4 mm silver-lined crystal), Swarovski Crystal Pearls or Czech
faux pearls in different sizes (light grey), Swarovski Bicones 3 mm
(chrysolite AB 2x), Miyuki Baroque Pearls 6° (ivory baroque), a few
Swarovski Lochrosen for surface decoration of the buttons.
6. Clasp of your choice (recommended: Elegant Elements or
Claspgarten clasps).
7. Fabric for the back (used: leather with a metallic finish. Ultrasuede
or another non-fraying fabric is also suitable, but gets soiled more
quickly). Thread (used: Nanofil 8 lb light green – a material from the
same manufacturer as FireLine, but more stable, thinner and with
less tendency to twist; it’s best to use it doubled when working with
sharp-edged materials such as bicones).

Stitch 1 round of backstitch around the but-

to have an even number in total, and to not
stitch the beads too close together.

Using a doubled thread, go forward to one of
the middle peyote rounds. Pick up 1 Crystal
Pearl 3mm and pass through the following
sb11 of this round. Repeat all around.

Work 1 round in peyote in the middle over the

and 1 bicone 3 mm.

Using super glue and/or E6000, glue a small
cabochon onto a slightly larger button. Glue
both in the middle of the button. Artist’s tip:
She used a combination of the two different
adhesives, as one dries very quickly, so that
she can work faster in this way and doesn’t
have to wait until the E6000 has dried. This is
important for stability.

Work several rounds of sb11 in peyote using
backstitch, until the beads protrude beyond
the edge of the button. Don’t forget to step up
in each round.

Skipping one peyote round, go up to the sec-
ond and alternately insert 1 Mijuki Drop and
1 sb15. Also sew the button to the embroidery
foundation to secure it.

Glue the prepared button in the middle of the
large button with E6000. Be sure to addition-

derlying button and the embroidery founda-
tion to secure it.

Scatter the rest of the buttons on the re-
maining embroidery foundation according to
your personal taste, glue them in place with
E6000 and sew through the buttonholes to
secure them.

Work 2 more rounds with sb15 in peyote to
taper the bezel.

Choose a smaller button to be attached to
the main element. Prepare this one exactly
as you did the large button with the differ-
ence that the button is not yet to be glued on
and the round in backstitch with sb11 will
begin on the bottommost circle of embroi-
dery foundation fabric. Work about 3 rounds
with sb11 in peyote, finishing with 1 round
with Mini Daggers. Continue working in pey-
ote with sb11. To taper the final round, work
1 round with sb15 in peyote.
17

Glue a smaller button on the 20 mm button
and secure it with a Crystal Pearl 3 mm with
doubled thread. Surround the button in back-
stitch with sb11 and work one round in
peyote with sb11. Work 1 round in peyote with
drops and to finish, work 2 more rounds with
sb15. Surround both of the other buttons with
1 round in backstitch with sb11, then work
1 round in peyote with sb11 and 1 round in
peyote with sb15. In the middle of the first but-
ton, pick up 1 Baroque Pearl 6° and 1 sb11 as
turning bead; pass through the Baroque Pearl
and the button through to the back. In the
middle of the second bead, pick up 1 Lochrose
and 1 sb15 as turning bead. Pass through the
Lochrose and the button to the back.

On the other side of the bracelet above the
largest button, glue on 1 decorative button.
Also sew 1 Crystal Pearl 5 mm in the mid-
dle. Work a bezel out of 1 round in backstitch
with sb11, 2 rounds in peyote with sb11 and
1 round in peyote with sb15.

Bezel both remaining buttons on the opposite
side in the same way. Fasten 1 button in the
middle with 1 Crystal Pearl 3 mm. Embroider
the second button with 1 Lochrose and
1sb15 as turning bead, sewing through the
Lochrose and the button to the back. Then
embroider the visible silk background on
loosely arranged Baroque Pearls in stop-
stitch, using 1 sb11 as turning bead. Do not,
however, completely cover the background
so that the beautiful silk remains visible. It is
best to begin with tightly embroidered beads
on both sides of the main element and gradu-
ally reduce the number as you work towards
the ends of the bracelet.

Transfer the outer shape of the bracelet to
the material for the back and cut it out. Sew
the clasp onto the narrow sides of the brace-
let. Spread E6000 over the large area on the
back of the embroidered part, but do not ap-
ply it directly to the edges of the element so
that the edge for the subsequent edge dec-
oration is easy to pierce. Press both parts
together. Let dry. If necessary, trim back the
edges of the backing material.
21
Decorate the edge using brick stitch, sewing
through both layers. For the variation used
here with bicones, use doubled thread. Knot
a new long piece of thread, secure it in the
work piece and sew through both layers di-
rectly next to the edge by the clasp. Pick up
1 sb15, 1 bicone 3 mm and 1 sb15. Leaving
97
a little distance, sew through both layers
and back through the sb15. Pick up 1 bicone
3mm and 1 sb15, leaving a little distance,
sew through both layers and back through
the sb15. Work through to the end of both of
the long edges of the bracelet in this manner
to finish.
