Beads as building blocks
M
any more shapes have emerged since my book
Great Designs for Shaped Beads
was released:
Rizo beads, twin and SuperDuo beads, Rulla and brick
beads, gumdrops, and spikes, to name a few. Although
specialty shapes like these are unusual and inspiring, many shapes that
have been around for a long time deserve attention too. Bead shapes like
round (also known as rocaille), cylinder, triangles, cubes, and bugle beads
have been staples for years, and their distinct shapes play an important
role in designing beaded jewelry.
When we look at each bead for its individual shape advantages, its
properties become like building materials in an architectural structure.
at is what ties all the projects in this book together: how individual
shapes combine into beautifully designed jewelry.
On the pages that follow, you’ll nd a section of projects devoted to
each of these jewelry types: beaded beads, rings, earring, bracelets, and
necklaces. Each project explores a di erent way of uniting two or more
di erent bead shapes into a well-constructed and lovely piece. As you
stitch your favorites, you’ll discover my secrets for engineering focal beads,
components, and other building blocks of design.
