Beaded Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts Beaded Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts Katie Dean https://beadflowers.co.uk Design © 2020 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk Beaded Deck of Playing Cards – Ace of Hearts This is an even count Peyote beading pattern. You will be working with size 11/0 Delica beads. I have given you the bead colour codes I used, down below. But please check each individual playing card for the quantities you need for that particular card. The finished size of each card is 2.75” (7cm) x 4” (10.5cm). I recommend you look for wholesale packs of these beads if you are planning to make multiple cards. You can also calculate the total number required for an entire pack of cards by adding together the quantity on each playing card. The introduction, on the next page, tells you how to assemble the cards and gives you some helpful advice for using this tutorial. This is suitable for anyone who enjoys working in Peyote stitch. If you need to learn even count Peyote, or want a little refresher, I recommend this free YouTube video https://youtu.be/VlY5CNYhOc4 . As long as you know the technique basics, it is very easy to follow the word charts I have provided. So, all you need is a little patience and some time to enjoy this! Design Note: because I chose the quickest, easiest Peyote variation (even count), I have had to take some liberties with the card designs. So, you will notice they are not perfectly symmetrical. I have calculated enough symmetry to make them look ‘right’, but you will notice the unevenness as you bead. I also like to include spirit beads in my work (it is lucky!). So, I may have passed some of that luck on to you in these patterns…If you do spot a spirit bead, it’s your choice whether you include it as I have done, or correct this ‘mistake’ if you seek perfection! Materials 11/0 Delicas in DB201 (White) 11/0 Delicas in DB295 (Red) 11/0 Delicas in DB353 (Matte cream for card backs) 11/0 Delicas in DB063 (Blue – for card backs) Your favourite beading thread Some paper or thin card Feel free to change the delica colours if you wish. You may already have some alternative colours in your stash, so use them instead of buying new. 1 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk Introduction You are going to be making each playing card using even count Peyote. You will need to make your chosen front and also a back for the card (unless you are planning to display the cards in a frame, in which case, you only need to make the front). I suggest you make the card front, then continue on to the card back (just follow both word charts from row 1 to the end). Then, you can fold the long strip over and zip the final row of the card back to the first row of the card front. You can join the sides by moving out of a bead in the front, into the equivalent bead on the back, then out of the next bead on the back, into the next bead on the front, and so on. (Or, feel free to make up your own thread path). The diagram shows my thread paths. You will notice that it is possible to partially see through the cards. So, in order to prevent this, I added a piece of paper, or thin card between the two halves before I finished joining them. This will also help to stiffen your playing card if necessary. Each playing card pattern gives you a pattern chart and the word chart, so you can use whichever you feel most comfortable with. Just be aware, you will bead the card fronts working from top to bottom. The card back is worked from bottom to top. If you follow the word chart, you don’t need to think about this – it is all written exactly as it should be beaded. The word chart includes the bead colours and quantity. These are all size 11/0 Delica beads. Quantities are given in numbers, but there are around 200 beads per gram in 11/0 Delicas. So, if you want a rough idea of quantity in grams, just divide the total by 200, e.g. 1,000 beads / 200 = 5g. You may attempt to make all 52 cards, or you may just pick out one or two favourites. This doesn’t have to be a project to complete all at once. You might gradually create your deck of cards, making one card a month – or a year – or whatever suits you. You can use the contents, on the next pages, to skip straight to the pattern you need. Just click on the card name and you should find yourself taken direct to the page on which it is located. Failing that, at least the page numbers will guide you through to the right place! Long projects like this can be very therapeutic as you can just get lost in the beads. I recommend you print out just the pages you need for the card(s) you want to make. Then you can make notes on the printed page. It’s a good idea to cross out the rows as you complete them, so you don’t lose your place in the pattern. If you stop beading at any time, make sure you mark where you stopped so it will be easy to start again when you return. Even if you are following the word chart, remember to keep an eye on the pattern chart as well to see that you’re not going (too far) wrong! And remember, the odd spirit bead is very lucky. So, especially with the ‘Faces’, it’s easy to add in an odd ‘wrong’ bead, but it doesn’t really matter. As this is worked in even count, you may notice things aren’t always perfectly symmetrical in any case. I have tried to design each card to give the impression of symmetry, no more. 2 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk And, if you’re worried about getting overwhelmed with such a large project, take a look at this blog: https://www.myworldofbeads.com/how-to-finish-a-big-beading-project-without-getting- overwhelmed/ If you want some ideas for what to do with your playing cards, I can share some lovely thoughts from other people who contributed to a couple of group discussions on Facebook. Share the Load If the idea of beading all 52 cards is completely overwhelming, how about getting a few beading buddies involved? Maybe you do this as a bead group project. Or maybe you get together with three friends and each make a single suit of cards. Then you can play card games together using them! Halve the work! These would make great greetings cards for special people. So, if you are just adding a beaded playing card to a greetings card, you could just make the card front, not worry about the back. Similarly, you could frame some finished cards. Again, you wouldn’t need to back them all. You might like to make one back just to show the design, but the fronts can be single sided. You could make your favourite suit, or make a winning hand from your favourite card game. Framed, hanging on the wall, it would be quite a talking point! Pick your favourite Of course, there is absolutely no pressure to make all of these. You can just pick out your favourite and make that. If you like big, statement jewellery, then you can turn a single card into a pendant. Or, how about making a single card into an amulet purse? To do this, just join the front and back along the bottom and two sides, leaving the top open. Then you can attach handles to the top corners if you wish – just a single string of beads will do the job for that. Copyright This pattern is for personal use only. Please do not share the pattern – or parts of the pattern – with beading friends, or online. If you have a friend who wants to make this, please point them to the tutorial so they can purchase their own copy. If you do wish to make this as a beading group project, please contact me so that we can make fair arrangements for doing that. You are very welcome to share photos of your finished playing card(s) online, but please make sure I am clearly credited as the designer. Note: if you are posting on Pinterest, please remember to add your details and my name as designer to the image before posting. That way everyone’s copyright is protected. You are also welcome to sell finished playing cards if you wish. Again, please credit me as the designer, but if you can make sales to buy a few more beads, it’s a great idea! If you have a desire to use this project in some other way and you’re not sure whether it will infringe copyright, just get in touch to check with me. Thank you. And thank you for respecting the copyright laws – it helps to keep ‘Planet Bead’ a happy, sharing place! 3 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk Ace of Hearts Chart #:A DB-201 White Pearl Ceylon Count:3284 Chart #:B DB-295 Lined Red AB Count:118 Row 1&2 (L) (54)A Row 3 (R) (27)A Row 4 (L) (27)A Row 5 (R) (27)A Row 6 (L) (24)A, (1)B, (2)A Row 7 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 8 (L) (27)A Row 9 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 10 (L) (23)A, (1)B, (1)A, (1)B, (1)A Row 11 (R) (27)A Row 12 (L) (23)A, (3)B, (1)A Row 13 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 14 (L) (23)A, (3)B, (1)A Row 15 (R) (27)A Row 16 (L) (23)A, (1)B, (1)A, (1)B, (1)A Row 17 (R) (27)A Row 18 (L) (23)A, (1)B, (1)A, (1)B, (1)A Row 19 (R) (27)A Row 20 (L) (27)A Row 21 (R) (27)A Row 22 (L) (27)A Row 23 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 24 (L) (23)A, (3)B, (1)A Row 25 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 26 (L) (23)A, (3)B, (1)A Row 27 (R) (2)A, (2)B, (23)A Row 28 (L) (24)A, (1)B, (2)A Row 29 (R) (27)A Row 30 (L) (27)A Row 31 (R) (27)A Row 32 (L) (27)A Row 33 (R) (27)A Row 34 (L) (27)A Row 35 (R) (27)A Row 36 (L) (27)A Row 37 (R) (27)A 4 Beaded Deck of Playing Cards © Katie Dean 2020, www.beadflowers.co.uk Row 38 (L) (27)A Row 39 (R) (27)A Row 40 (L) (27)A Row 41 (R) (27)A Row 42 (L) (27)A Row 43 (R) (27)A Row 44 (L) (27)A Row 45 (R) (27)A Row 46 (L) (27)A Row 47 (R) (27)A Row 48 (L) (27)A Row 49 (R) (27)A Row 50 (L) (27)A Row

  • BLACKJACK It’S Easy to Ace the Game of Blackjack, One of the Most Popular Table Games at Hollywood Casino and Around the World
    BLACKJACK It’s easy to ace the game of Blackjack, one of the most popular table games at Hollywood Casino and around the world. Object of the Game Your goal is to draw cards that total 21, or come closer to 21 than the dealer without going over. How To Play • The dealer and each player start with two cards. The dealer’s first card faces up, the second faces down. Face cards each count as 10, Aces count as 1 or 11, all others count at face value. An Ace with any 10, Jack, Queen, or King is a “Blackjack.” • If you have a Blackjack, the dealer pays you one-and-a-half times your bet — unless the dealer also has a Blackjack, in which case it’s a “push” and neither wins. • If you don’t have Blackjack, you can ask the dealer to “hit” you by using a scratching motion with your fingers on the table. • You may draw as many cards as you like (one at a time), but if you go over 21, you “bust” and lose. If you do not want to “hit,” you may “stand” by making a side-to-side waving motion with you hand. • After all players are satisfied with their hands the dealer will turn his or her down card face up and stand or draw as necessary. The dealer stands on 17 or higher. BLACKJACK Payoff Schedule All winning bets are paid even money (1 to 1), except for Blackjack, which pays you one-and-a-half times your bet or 3 to 2.

  • Asexual Romance in an Allosexual World: How Ace-Spectrum Characters (And Authors) Create Space for Romantic Love
    Asexual Romance in an Allosexual World: How Ace-Spectrum Characters (and Authors) Create Space for Romantic Love By Ellen Carter Published online: August 2020 http://www.jprstudies.org Abstract: Recent years have seen a surge in contemporary romance novels with ace- spectrum main characters who, despite not experiencing sexual attraction, still yearn for romantic and emotional connection and their happily ever after (HEA). They must navigate as outsiders an allosexual (non-asexual) world where sexual attraction is deemed normal, and where ace-individuals are pitied, assumed to be unwell, or suspected of having survived sexual abuse. This corpus study of sixty-five novels explores four approaches adopted by ace characters when negotiating romantic space in an allosexual world: an open relationship with an allosexual; a closed relationship with an allosexual; a polyamorous relationship with two (or more) allosexuals; or pairing up with another ace-spectrum character. Except for ace-ace relationships, these novels therefore tread unfamiliar territory in romance fiction because the sexual desires of the main characters are not aligned. In allosexual romance novels, a libido mismatch signifies an underlying physical or emotional problem to be overcome by one or more characters. However, in asexual romance fiction, non-aligned libidos are the norm and the characters must work together to understand each other’s sexual and romantic desires, and to co-create a new space in which all can thrive. In analyzing how ace romance fiction achieves HEA and how this can inform the lenses through which allosexual romance fiction is read, I look at several factors, including the co- occurrence of other queer orientations and identities; the authors’ orientation, especially those who identify as #ownvoices; how characters with different sexual desires handle consent; and discourses of romance versus intimacy.

  • Tactical and Strategic Game Play in Doppelkopf 1
    TACTICAL AND STRATEGIC GAME PLAY IN DOPPELKOPF DANIEL TEMPLETON 1. Abstract The German card game of Doppelkopf is a complex game that in- volves both individual and team play and requires use of strategic and tactical reasoning, making it a challenging target for a com- puter solver. Building on previous work done with other related games, this paper is a survey of the viability of building a capable and efficient game solver for the game of Doppelkopf. 2. Introduction Throughout human history, games have served an important role, allowing real life prob- lems to be abstracted into a simplified environment where they can be explored and un- derstood. Today, games continue to serve that role and are useful in a variety of fields of research and study, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. By researching ways to enable computers to solve the abstracted, stylized problems represented by games, researchers are creating solutions that can be applied directly to real world problems. 2.1. Doppelkopf. Doppelkopf is a game in the same family as Schafkopf and Skat played mostly in northern areas of Germany. The rules are officially defined by the Deutscher Doppelkopf Verband [1], but optional rules and local variants abound. The game is played with a pinochle deck, which includes two each of the nines, tens, jacks, queens, kings, and aces of all four suits, for a total of 48 cards. As in many games, like Skat, Schafkopf, Spades, Bridge, etc., the general goal is to win points by taking tricks, with each trick going to the highest card, trump or non-trump, played.

  • Christmas Quiz Answers
    Hand 1 Given that you can be sure of the spade finesse, there are 2 possible approaches to this hand. Approach 1 would be to assume the Ace of diamonds is onside and the play follows a simplistic course – win the heart, draw a couple of rounds of trumps finishing in dummy. Take the spade finesse and then play a diamond towards your King. Approach 2 is to assume that the diamond Ace is offside,in which case you need to generate 3 spade tricks, but the spades are almost certainly breaking 7-0. Duck the opening lead and ruff the likely heart continuation. Cash the Ace of trumps and play a trump to the 9. Now a spade finesse holds. Discard the Ace of Spades on the Ace of Hearts and continue with a ruffing finesse against East. The King of Clubs remains as a re-entry to dummy. You might think that both lines have an equal chance of success (50% on the position of the diamond Ace), but approach 2 has the added advantage that West will often continue with a heart at trick 2, even when the Ace of diamonds is with East (and hence a diamond switch and spade return would beat you). Well done if you spotted both lines. Hand 2 North’s response at the 2 level was game forcing under the N/S methods. West led the King of hearts and both opponents followed small when you won and laid down the Ace of trumps. The winning line is to set up the clubs for a diamond discard.
