  • Nature's Bead Embroidery Presented by Eleanor Pigman
    July 2015 Nature's Bead Embroidery Presented by Eleanor Pigman Tuesday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m. Social half-hour at 7 pm with coffee/tea Courtyard Marriott, 5555 Shellmound, Emeryville, 94605. The parking lot is a gated surface lot around the hotel. Bring your parking ticket into the hotel; get it validated after the meeting and BSNC will pay the parking fee. Members free with membership card, non-members $5 Eleanor Pigman's opening page shows a life-like jewel toned tropical fish. If this is any indication of her presentation on July 21st, we are in for an unusual treat. She will share her artistic journey beginning with the early influences she experienced growing up in New York City to finally discovering bead embroidery. Eleanor fell into the world of bead embroidery after she created a bead embroidered portrait of Barack Obama for a moveon.org contest and was one of the 50 finalist. Her piece was published, and was given a Congressional Award for “keeping hope alive through art”. This has propelled her to move forward with her work. Another piece is part of a permanent exhibition with NOAA the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in St. Petersburg, FL. She will discuss her personal relationship with beads - how creating order using beads is a therapeutic experience which all beaders have realized ~ she had just kicked it up a notch which her presentation will expansively show all who attend the meeting. Eleanor is trying to create the impossible. As a self taught artist, she is always pushing the boundaries in her artistic process.

  • Glossary of Jewellery Making and Beading Terms
    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. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone. ACCENT BEAD Similar in purpose to a Focal Bead, this is a bead that forms the focus for a piece of jewellery, but on this occasion rather then through its size, it is usually through contrast.

  • 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.
