Beadwork feature - beaded spidersTwo weeks ago I promised to make an article on beaded spiders. I like little critters. If you suffer from arachnophobia, you shouldn't look at the rest of this feature. Oh, and I don't quite understand spiders as Christmas ornaments, so I'd be very grateful if someone could explain that practice to me. Is there some sort of legend behind it, some belief or what?

Beadwork feature - shaped flowersFlowers in this feature, unlike the ones in Flowery beadweavings feature, were not made just by "painting" flower in beaded fabric using different coloured beads and, unlike French beaded flowers, don't need wire in order to get or keep shape. These were made using different sizes of beads, different stitches, different tension, by increasing, decreasing and shaping the beaded fabric. There are many different ways to make a shaped flower - from very
simple (think single daisy in daisy chain) to very complex. I'll provide several tutorials and lots of eye candy.
Instructions
Netted flower
Peyote flower
Brick stitched flower

Beadweaving feature - beaded beadsBeaded beads can be done in any of many bead weaving stitches. The beadwork can be done over an existing bead or the beaded bead can be entirely self supporting, hollow or filled, simple or embellished, cylindrical, spherical, cubical, flat, round... whatever shape and size you want. They can be used to make the whole jewelry piece or just as an accent. Check out what our fellow deviants made and how they used their beaded beads in jewelry.

Beadwork feature - Saint Patrick's DayOn my way to the end of the rainbow in search of leprechauns' pot of gold I've seen some lovely things. I
walked on a thick carpet of shamrocks, but there was no time to pick one to bring it here. Intricate knots and triquetras carved in stone took my breath away. I was offered a claddagh ring as a token of friendship and a four-leaf clover for good luck on my journey. And where did I start? I tried to bead my own shamrock.
Edit: After informing almost everyone featured here that I included their pieces I realized that in every message I wrote "tutorial"

It's not even 6 AM here so I hope you'll forgive me this tiny mistake. On to the feature.

Beadweaving feature - Geometry and scienceMath doesn't sound like much fun to me. Neither does physics nor biology. But when you combine beadwork with them, you get a different view of these sciences. I wanted to show you sorta sciency side of beadwork and different geometric shapes and patterns that are rather often seen in it, and we don't usually perceive them as such. But when you think about it, it usually all boils down to basic shapes like squares, circles and triangles. But there's more - you can make pyramids, cubes, spheres, cylinders... You can make replicas of DNA and other molecules using beads and thread. Now that does sound like fun. Make sure to check out Gwen Fisher's blog - she made a tute on beaded DNA helix.

My first hair band. Commissioned piece. It took me many, many hours of work. I don't think I want to make another beaded coral ever.

It's lovely! I like all the little details you have in it!

Thanks. It did take me a lot of tame to make it but the overall effect was amazing. I tried it on me to see how it fits and it looked stunning against my dark hair.
