Beadwork, August/September 2010

Color is the focus of the August/September 2010 issue of Beadwork. Whether you prefer stitching with bright and bold colors or experimenting with more subtle hues, there is a project for you. Many of the eighteen projects are inspired by the colors of nature—from a right-angle-weave lariat influenced by the aurora borealis to a triangle-weave bracelet that mimics ripe star fruit. Explore bead crochet with Barbara Richard’s Colorplay Bangle or whip up a pair of peyote-stitched leaf earrings in a sophisticated color palette. Make a handful of Editor Melinda Barta’s fun and easy netted bails in her department, Custom Cool. Plus, get advice from color expert Margie Deeb as she shares tips and answers readers’ questions.
