We also have Email and a web site (www.bakerbay.com). A RAINBOW OF COLORS Now some notes about the catalog and colors. We try to keep the names of the colors simple and in a so-called system. Think rainbows. Most color numbers have a 3 digit number. The first digit or hundreds place is style of color (opaque, silverlined, iris, etc.) The middle number or tens place is the actual color (red, green, blue, etc.) And the last number, the ones place, is the shade of that color. Now this is where gazing at rainbows comes in handy, or experience with a color wheel. Red through yellow the lower numbers (1-3) are darker, 4-6 are medium, and 7-9 are lighter. After yellow (which means green - brown) the lower numbers (1-3) are lighter, 4-6 are still medium and 7-9 are darker. If all else fails maybe the color name will help. Hundreds Place Tens Place Ones Place 000 Opaque (solid, can’t see through 000 Black-White 001 Black, 003 Gray, 005 White 100 Transparent (can see light through) 200 Silverlined (transparent with silver lining) In the ones place Red through Yellow 300 Iris (looks like a drop of oil on water) 010 Red 020 Orange 001 is darker 400 Metallic (glass with metal coating) 009 is the lightest 500 Colorlined (color on inside) 030 Yellow 600 Luster (shiny in both opaque and transparent) Green through Brown 700 Satin or Opal (translucent look) 040 Green 800 Pearl (pearl like finish) 001 is lighter 900 Matte (dull, etched look) 050 Turquoise 009 is the darkest 060 Blue 070 Pink Also, hopefully, the name of the color 080 Purple will help 090 Brown A test: 005 = Opaque White, 605 = White Luster, 117 = Red Transparent, 217 = Silverlined Red (Sorry, now you are really confused, huh!) While we are on the subject of confusion, what’s a mm? (not the little candies that melt in your mouth not in your hands) Since most of the beads are made outside the United States the measurements are metric. A millimeter (mm) is the little bug legs on the metric side of the ruler. There are 25 mm per 1 inch which makes a 6mm bead about 1/4”. See the ruler which may not be exact because the printer can change it a little bit, but should help give you an idea of size. The sizes in seed beads are even worse. The larger the number the smaller the bead. It can be compared to the stitch gauge on a sewing machine. At 8 stitches per inch, each stitch is twice as long as the 16 stitches per inch. The 8/0 seed bead is larger than the 13/0. The smaller the seed bead the more detail you can get into small pieces. The most popular sizes are 11/0 and 10/0, with the Japanese 15/0 closing the gap for the very adventurous. Another size problem we have had is with Pony beads versus Crow beads. Since the plastic beads that are about 9mm are called by some companies pony beads some customers have been ordering pony and expecting to get crow size beads. Pony beads are large size seed beads, about 3 to 4mm, but are really 6/0 seed beads. Crow beads are bigger and used for chokers, breastplates, etc. Please check the size description of the beads you want to be sure they are right for your project. When ordering please list the NUMBER, COLOR AND DESCRIPTION of the beads you want. This will speed your order because it saves us the time for guess work. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Bone and Horn . 1-3 Brass, Nickel and Metal. 4 Cones. 4 Clasps & Findings. 5-9 Bugles. .10-12 Cut Beads. 13-17 Delica Beads. 18-20 Seed Beads. 21-29 Pony and Tile Beads. 29-30 Crow Beads. .30-32 White Hearts. .32 Trade Bead Copies. 32 Trade Beads. 32 Round Beads. 33-34 Hot Dogs. .34-35 Hearts and Teardrops . 35-36 Faceted Beads. .37-38 Austrian Crystals (Swarovski) . 39 Rhinestone Banding. 39 Needles, Thread, Sinew, Cord & Wire. 40-42 Tools and Beading Equipment. 43-45 Quills and Pine Nuts. .45 Kits. 45-46 Leather . 46 Books . 47-51 Silver and Gold. .52 Pewter Charms. 53-54 Shell . 55-56 Stone. 57-58 Ordering Information. 59 Order Blank. 60 Map and Store Hours .

    Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms A jewellery glossary of beading terms and jewellery making terminology combining clear images with easy to understand dictionary like definitions. This bead glossary also provides links to more in depth content and bead resources. It can be used as a beading A to Z reference guide to dip into as needed, or as a beading and jewellery glossary for beginners to help broaden beading and jewellery making knowledge. It is particularly effective when used alongside our Beading Guides, Histories, Theories and Tutorials, or in conjunction with our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary and Venetian Glass Making Glossary. A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary.

  • The Spirit of Beads Sharing Our Stories
    October 25, 2020 - August 28 2021 The Spirit of Beads Ukrainian Museum of Canada Ontario Branch Sharing our Stories Exhibition Resource Guide Presented by Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Native Canadian Centre of Toronto Ontario Branch We gratefully acknowledge the support of our sponsors About the exhibit The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories is co-presented by the Ukrainian Museum of Canada, Ontario Branch and the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto. This is the Museum's first collaboration with another organisation outside of the Ukrainian community, and we are delighted to have this opportunity. The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories celebrates the beauty of Indigenous and Ukrainian beaded artifacts, including clothing, jewelry, bags, and more. This exhibition includes historic and contemporary beadwork and explores how this art form has come to represent the complex identities of Ukrainians and Indigenous cultures in Canada. It begins with the history of the bead trade in North America and Ukraine, tracing the origin of beads from natural materials such as stones, shells, and bones, to commercially-manufactured beads. The exhibit features modern pieces of beadwork from contemporary artists alongside historical objects from the Museum's collection and the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, to demonstrate how modern beadwork re- invents and expresses past and present understandings of cultural identity. We have also been very fortunate to include pieces from private collections and individuals, making this exhibit very special. We are delighted to make this resource guide available to complement the content of The Spirit of Beads: Sharing our Stories. We hope that this will be a valuable addition for both individuals and institutions to begin their research and learning.

  • How to Do Brick Stitch
    How To Make a Wrapped Loop on a Head Pin Here are some simple instructions on making a wrapped loop on a head pin. This technique can be handy for making basic earrings, adding drops from a necklace or bracelet, and many other cool beadwork applications. Difficulty: Easy Time Required: 20 minutes Here's How: 1. Place beads or other objects on the head pin, making sure they go all the way down the shaft, and that the head of the pin is flush with the bead. 2. Using a pair of chainnose pliers, bend the wire right next to the bead away from you at a right angle. 3. Grasp the bent wire with your round nose pliers just beyond the bend. Pull the end of the wire back around the tip of the pliers. Go all the way around and make a loop around the tip of the pliers, until the wire points in the other direction. 4. Now that you have the loop formed, you may slip the chain, ear wire or other finding into the loop, so that you will be closing the wrapped loop with the item attached. 5. Grasp the top of the loop with your round nose pliers to hold it steady while you use your chainnose pliers to grasp the remaining free wire and wrap it twice around the wire below the loop. 6. Cut the remaining wire flush with the work, and press it against the wire gently, using the tip of your chainnose pliers. 7. Use a small file to clean any rough edges from the cut.

BEAD NETTING AND PLAITING TECHNIQUES IN THE PERANAKAN WORLD Valerie Hector It has long been recognized that the Peranakan Chinese peoples oceans in mainland and island Southeast Asia to trade or, in of Southeast Asia were expert bead embroiderers. As it happens, the early Ming dynasty (1368-1644), exact imperial tribute they were also expert bead netters and plaiters. After establishing from local rulers during maritime missions lasting many a conceptual framework for discussing bead netting and plaiting months (Reid 1996:17 ff.). These contacts infused “Chinese techniques in general, this article discusses 14 pieces of Peranakan blood, wealth and technology” into the region, eventually Chinese (or Minangkabau) beadwork and various techniques. The enabling Chinese to “assume key positions in Southeast techniques likely derived not just from Europe, as early researchers Asian trade and statecraft” (Reid 1996:25-27).

    Bev Koski Katie Longboat Jean Marhsall Olivia Whetung Guest curated by Lisa Myers Resource Guide Textile Museum of Canada October 10, 2018-May 26, 2019 Beads, they’re sewn so tight, guest curated by Lisa Myers, is an exhibition of work by four contemporary artists who innovate in the field of beading and quillwork. In beadwork, threads create structure and hold beads together, creating a seemingly invisible scaffold. As metaphor and as material, they unite form, design and meaning. Beads, they’re sewn so tight takes up the depths of social and political relations embedded in the visual language of pattern and surface design including living traditions with an emphasis on family and community networks. Beads, they’re sewn so tight features over 40 beaded works by Bev Koski, Katie Longboat, Jean Marshall and Olivia Whetung, many of which are shown here for the first time. From weaving to loom-work and embroidery, their artwork threads together formal aspects of artmaking such as colour and composition with critical issues such as language retention, stereotypes, and social and environmental injustices for Indigenous people. "I see these artists as not merely using beadwork in their art practices but building on the technique and knowledge of beading and quillwork," said Myers. "They have each honed different beading techniques, working meticulously to convey meaning through work that’s conceptually driven." Bev Koski’s new beaded series consists of swatches of modernist abstract patterns found in day-to-day life, from product packaging to family photographs. Pattern is also a focus of Katie Longboat’s study of her Cree grandmother’s bead designs, which inform her experimentation with Cree floral design and Haudenosaunee raised beadwork.
