  • A Bead Knitted Amulet
    A Basic Knitted Beaded Amulet Bag © Hannah Rosner, 2006 Please note that this kit is for basic bead knitting, but it does not teach basic yarn knitting. It assumes you are comfortable with basic knitting, casting on and casting off BEFORE you try this technique. If you don’t already know how to knit, I suggest grabbing some larger knitting needles (wooden or plastic are easier than metal) and some bigger yarn. Then check out this free Youtube Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uw-nUvGrBY Really, you want to be totally comfortable with yarn knitting before you try these teeny tiny metal needles and seed beads. Thank you for downloading this tutorial! Before you get to work, please take the time to read the tutorial thoroughly. This document is protected by copyright, and is intended for the sole use of the person who has purchased it. Please do not copy this tutorial, or distribute it in any manner. (This does not include printing for your own personal use.) The design for this piece is based off of ancient techniques. Most importantly, please have fun! Feel free to contact me with any and all questions regarding the information below, and for sources for any of the materials mentioned. I'll do my best to help you track down whatever you'll need! Materials: Seed Beads – Size 10/0 or 8/0 Knitting Needles – Size 0 or smaller Crochet Cotton – Size 8 Optional: Purse Frame Optional: Accent Beads for fringe You reading glasses The hardest part of this is using the tiny thread and the needles.

  • 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.

  • Two-Day Intensive Classes
    TWO-DAY INTENSIVE CLASSES DESIGN BASICS MASTER CLASS (2-DAY INTENSIVE) TAUGHT BY SHIRLEY PADEN Date & Time Price Materials Fee May 13-14• 9am-4:30pm $300 N/A Skill Level: Intermediate Prerequisites: A basic knowledge of knitting Description: In this class, you’ll learn to custom-make your own sweater patterns. You'll work through organizing the components involved in constructing four different types of garments and two different types of necklines. Two garments are designed with round necklines and two with V necklines. The first is a pullover designed using the Classic Body silhouette that is based on the bust measurements. It is worked straight to the armholes; then the armholes and neckline are shaped. The second garment is also a pullover. It is designed using the Double Tapered Body silhouette. This sweater type is shaped along the natural curves of the body to the armholes; then the armholes and neckline are shaped. The third and fourth designs are cardigans. This is a bonus feature of the Retreat format of the Design Master Class. Cardigan Design is usually taught exclusively in the Cardigans Class. The first Cardigan design is planned using the Classic Body silhouette with a round neck. The second cardigan is planned with a Reverse Taper Body silhouette. This garment shape is trapezoidal. It is wider at the bottom than at the top. It is tapered along the sides from the bottom measurement to the bust measurement; then the armholes and neckline are shaped. All four designs will be planned with set-in sleeves. You'll work through planning a tapered sleeve with a set-in cap and also be walked through accurately measuring a swatch, taking body measurements, writing a pattern, and calculating yarn amounts.
