Today was supposed to be St. Petersburg chain however I managed to totally botch the video and didn't have time for a reshoot. So you're getting something hot off the presses....an excerpt from my latest design and snippet from the video class that goes along with it. A little step into basic geometrics with my Puffy Triangle

I finished up this copper Viking wire woven necklace today. A friend asked me if I had a tutorial for the peyote stitched slide beads that I make to go with the wire weaving, and I didn't. But I took pictures as I was working today, so hopefully this will help. I found it was hard to take good pictures of such tiny beads! First, I gathered my materials. I used 2 colors of Miyuke glass Delica beads. These are cylindrical in shape, and very regular. I put them in a watercolor dish while I was working. Scissors, a beading needle, and some Nymo thread rounded out the materials. I put an even number of beads on my needle. I wanted just enough to go snugly around the wire chain of the necklace. In this case, that was 12 beads. I ran my thread back through the beads again... ...and continued on through one more bead around. When I pulled the resulting loop tight, it made a nice circle around the wire weaving. I left a 4-6 inch tail of thread, to weave in at the end of the project. Oh, I probably had a yard of thread that I was working with, so I didn't have to start a new thread part way through the project. The trade off in working with a long length of thread was that I had to deal with the working thread tangling. Running the thread over a chunk of bees wax helped. Ok. I put one bead on my needle. I skipped one bead in the circle, and ran my needle through the next bead. With a little convincing, the bead that I just added hopped on top of a bead in the previous row. I continued around the circle of beads in this way. Skip a bead, go through a bead. Skip a bead, go through a bead. When I got back around to the beginning of the row, I had to 'step up'. I went through the last bead in the row below me, and then also through the first bead of the row I just finished. This is probably the hardest row in the whole project to complete. The next row around cinches everything into place. Again, skip a bead, and go through a bead. When you get back to the beginning... ...your work should look something like this. Now, I wanted to start the spiral pattern. Every other bead that I added in this next row was white instead of bronze. In the next row, again every other bead was white. After a few rows, I had a nice spiral developing. I continued on with this spiral pattern until I had the slide bead just about as long as I wanted it, and switched back to all one color of beads. A couple of rows of solid color finished off the project. I wove the remaining tail of thread back down and around into the beadwork, making tiny half hitches around the working threads. I tugged the knots into the beads to hide them. Then I went back and did the same to the tail end of thread that I had left at the other end. And there I had it! A beaded bead. I have used this same technique to make an entire necklace of beadwork, without the wire core. It makes a colorful, light weight, and flexible necklace.

by Kelli Pope I'd like to introduce you to a very good friend of mine and her incredible work. The funny thing is we've known each other since high school, but the real friendship started about 8 or so years ago. We ran into each other at an art show in Louisville, Ky. She walked into my jewelry booth, and told me she had her own jewelry booth there. Who da thunk it?? It's hard to believe now, that we didn't bond in high school! We missed out on a lot of good years. Her work is fantastic, and unique just like she is. I think you'll love it as much as I do!! LMAJ: Please tell our readers about yourself. LF: Hello! My name's Leslie Fawcett and I'm a jewelry artist ;) At least that's what I aspire to be some day when I grow up! I'm married to a great guy and my best friend, David Fawcett and we have 2 kids, both girls (8 & 10), both red heads (fiery!). We also have 2 crazy, yet oddly sweet feral cats that still owe me $1000 for my leather couch! I've worked in television production, 26 years and counting and it's been a lot of fun. I'm an avid volleyball player (I usually play in about 3-4 leagues a week). In addition to all of the above, I'm a big fan of super heroes, mutants, sci-fi and action heroes! GEEK! LMAJ: I know your jewelry is all about beaded beads using a peyote stitch. Why do you like that technique? LF: I like the peyote stitch because of how everything fits together. On the tubular beads, the lines are very precise and you get a nice striping in the colors, while with the discs and balls, there is more of a blending of the colors. LMAJ: Do you use any other techniques in your pieces? LF: I've recently been teaching myself some chain maille patterns. I'm using these as accent pieces. They complement the beaded beads really nicely. Eventually I'd like to make my own findings and components. I have some stuff to work with, I just need to find the time to play. LMAJ: What was the first piece you ever made, and how wonderful was it ? LF: When I first learned how to make the beads, I bought a bunch of colors and started making a bunch of striped beads. By the time I had combined them in all possible color combinations, I had well over a 1,000 beads. A couple of nights before my wedding, I had some nervous energy and I took about 220 of the beads and made a really long necklace. It will go around the neck 4 times and I think it's pretty cool. It's actually the piece that's on my business card and probably always will be. LMAJ: How did you get started making jewelry, and what was the inspiration?. LF: I've always played around with crafts from knitting and embroidery when I was a kid to some basic bead stringing in my 20's, but I never really did anything with it until I tried making my first beaded bead. I saw a "how to" article in the back of an issue of Lapidary Journal written by Valerie Hector, teaching you the basics of making a beaded bead. (If you've never seen her work, it is amazing!) I think I actually had a little bit of a sleepless night after I created my first bead because it was just so cool how it fit together. I kept thinking about what to do with it. I made the piece above and people started asking me where I got it and it just took off from there. I think mostly I'm inspired by color, whether it's the color of a scarf I have or someone's shirt, a scene in a movie or even landscapes. I just love all the colors of the beads and there's so many different color combinations to play around with. LMAJ: With a full time job and the kiddos, how do you find time to create? LF: I'm a bit of a night owl. I love to stay up late watching TV and making beads and putting my pieces together. My inspiration usually comes around 1am. Sadly I can't do it as much as I used to. As I'm able to get into bigger shows, I have to really budget my time. However there's nothing like the "threat" of the coming show and the fear of not having enough to really crank it up a notch:) LMAJ: Where and when is your next show? LF: Art in Speed Park in Sellersburg, IN on August 23 & 24. LMAJ: Do you only sell at art shows? If not, where can our readers find your pieces for sale? LF: I mostly sell at art fairs, but I do have some of my work in the Art & Invention Gallery in Nashville, TN and I just got some of my pieces into The Shop at Walnut Grove in Louisville, KY As always, thank you Readers, for supporting handmade with handmade!!!!!!!
