Jewellery Trends
BY DANIELLE RYAN
With jewellery
trends forever
evolving, it
only makes
sense that
we highlight
emerging
looks for
beaders and
jewellery
makers alike to
anticipate this
season. From
sculpturally
shaped
accessories
to plate
necklaces that
create impact,
let us see what
is in store for
winter 2016!

BAUBLE BRACELETS
PLATE NECKLACES
It is easy to make a statement with the
powerful plate necklace. Proving to be
especially popular this season are golden
breastplate necklaces, which often resemble
either a specific shape or abstract motif.
Quite often, less is more and basic metals
such as brass or metallic hues create
a perfectly rustic look. There is also an
increasing trend to embellish such necklaces
with fabric and feathers, with some plate
necklaces even experimenting with floral.
Strong, tough and feminine are all rolled
into one look with this bold accessory!
TECHNIQUES
THAT CHALLENGE
Beaders looking for
a challenge might
want to consider
experimenting with
these techniques:
Wire knitting
Knitting with wire can
be a lot of fun but
differs from how you
would normally knit
yarn. Knitting with
wire requires plenty of
practice before you
achieve a uniform
look. The ideal gauge
size for knitting wire is
between 24 and 30.
Any bigger and it will
simply be too delicate
to work with. Whilst
stitching, you can also
add beads by pushing
a bead to the end of
your working wire and
holding it between two
stitches. Remember, you
can pull and stretch
your work every few
rows to block it to the
shape you want.

Felted beads
Felt beads are easy
and very inexpensive
to make. You only
need a few grams
of merino wool and
soapy water. Felt is
basically made by
mashing a bunch of
wool fibres together
until they become
one mass. Combined
with glass, metal
or ceramic beads,
they make beautiful
jewellery and they
can be made into
decorations, zip
pulls, hair pins,
charms for purses
the list is endless!

CUFF BRACELETS
There is nothing quite like a cuff bracelet
to add dimension to your outfit. Although
many bracelet trends seem to have a past
life, this is one accessory that is making
a comeback. And there is no doubt why;
cuffs are simple to wear yet create a strong
impact, especially if embellished with the
right motifs. High fashion accessories are
seeing cuffs adorned with a combination of
fabric and metal to form beautiful pieces.
Beading on a loom
For those who have
tried beading with
only a needle and
thread, you will know
it is a long process.
Once you decide
to introduce pattern
into the design, you
have a complicated
and time consuming
technique. This is
where the bead
loom comes in
handy. This type of
loom has been used
in both traditional
and modern day
beading to make the
process both faster
and easier. Even if
you are a beginner,
beading on a loom
is a technique you
can quickly learn
and one that will
greatly benefit more
complicated projects
you decide to tackle.

Small white bead tube cap
LENGTH shortest strand

DESIGN NOTES
this design relies on the mixing of the seed
beads to equal measures to achieve the
grading of the colours. See diagram and
mixing notes. When working measure the
strands on a ruler to get accurate lengths.
Colour Mixing beads use a clear cap from
bead tube or similar sized item, add 1 cap
of each colour (1 cap equals 3.5cm approx
of bead work) in equal proportions work for
3.5cm or as directed and place remainder
aside for second section of opposite side.
STEP ONE
Middle strand
starting at side of
centre front
Using a length of 4m
or more of Fireline,
leaving 2m as a
tail, place in a small
plastic bag and work
on remaining 2m
length. Pick up 9 x

Pick up 1 x
backbone, 4 x
accent, total of 5 x
C1 beads, working
in a circular motion
pass through 4
existing backbone
beads from step one
plus 1 added. Beads
should be tensioned
firmly with no gaps.
Diagram 2.
DESIGN NOTE
it is important to only work one direction
so always push the bead to the left or
the right around the back bone beads
depending on the direction you wish to
work, this becomes more important as more
accent loops are added so that each loop
progressively sits around the backbone in
an upward spiral.

PRODUCT REVIEW
Resin Beads
The types of beads available for jewellery making vary significantly in terms of
shape, material and size. A popular type of bead which falls under the acrylic
category is resin beads. These beads are similar to plastic beads, with the
exception of using fabric and other materials to give resin beads a better look
and finish. Best of all, resin beads are inexpensive yet still create brilliantly
coloured and lightweight jewellery.
Here are some beautiful resin beads on the market right now!

PRODUCT REVIEW
COOL FROST RESIN ROUND BEADS 14MM
IN LAVENDER
All Cool Frost Resin Beads are skilfully molded in Germany
from select polyester resin that results in consistent size,
shape and colour. The deep rich colours exhibit a subtle
glow making them a fun and versatile design element that
goes well with other beads. The frosted matte finish is very
smooth to the touch RRP $9.20 for 8 beads .

STEP ONE
Select four colours of clay and cut a quarter
bar of each (1/16 of a block). Condition
each piece by rolling and folding until the
clay stops cracking, roll out thinly. Photo 1.
TOOLS
Non-stick roller such as
Sculpey Acrylic Roller

Stack up in a random way, so the stack is
mostly 3 layers thick. The pieces can be cut
up to achieve this. Photo 2

STEP FOUR
Roll and stretch the jelly roll to extend it
until the cross-section is of a suitable size to
decorate pendants. Photo 4. Cut into 3cm
Photo 5.
Foil Focus
STEP EIGHT
Cover the black section with foil and rub with
the roller to make sure it is well attached.
Place the jelly roll slices to cover the join,
pushing them on firmly, even if that distorts
the pendant a little. Gently roll the pendant
thinner, rolling both up, down, and from side
to side so that the foil cracks apart. Photo 8
STEP SIX
Pile the remaining pieces of jelly roll together
so a variety of colours are showing, cutting
lengthwise to reveal the inner colours if
necessary. Twist the pile so the stripes start to
spiral around. Keep twisting, alternating with
rolling to keep the block neat, until the spirals
seem to circle around like rings. Compress the
block into a rectangular shape.Photo 6

STEP NINE
Photo 6.
STEP SEVEN
Cut the block in half lengthwise. Each half is
used to make one pendant. For one pendant
use the stripy side, and for the other use the
inside pattern. Compress each of the halves
together with an equal amount of black clay,
so as to form a rough pendant shape, but
smaller and thick. Photo 7

STEP TEN
Smooth the pendants, rubbing with roller
to remove fingerprints. Place on baking
paper on a tray, or on a ceramic tile. Cover
with a double layer of baking paper to
help moderate temperature fluctuations.
Follow the manufacturers instructions for
baking temperature and time, ensuring the
temperature is not exceeded by using an oven
thermometer.
STEP ELEVEN
Varnish the foiled area of the pendant using
a polymer clay varnish. (Other varnishes may
react with the clay). Varnishing of the unfoiled
area is optional.
STEP TWELVE
Finish by threading in preferred style. If
threading with tubing covered with Tigertail,
include a small bead between the pendant
and the tube as this will help it to hang more
neatly. Clasps can be attached to the Tigertail
using a charlotte and crimp. See the Basic
Instructions for more details.

STEP ONE
Choose interesting sections on skinner blend
and cut out your leaves. Photo 13.
STEP TWO
Using sculpting tool indent the leaf to form its
veins, a simple centre vein with a few coming
off it, smooth or remove any scrapings this
might leave on the top of the leaf and give
your leaf a little tug at the end to slightly
re-shape. Photos 14 and 15.
STEP THREE
With sculpting tool scratch up the back of the
face, this helps it stick to the leaf.
STEP FOUR
Place face into position on the leaf.
STEP FIVE
Using some of the scrap from the skinner
blend roll several small balls of different colour
clays, roll some small snake shapes.
STEP SEVEN
STEP SIX
Place the balls against the edge of the face, use
the ball tool to indent the balls, this helps stick
to the face and leaf and also creates detail in
the design. Curl up some of the simple snakes
of clay and add to the design, at this point its
purely decorative, addin interest to the design.

in this book and have been developed by trial and error
over many years of beading and teaching. Sometimes it is
the smallest things that can make your beading time more
enjoyable like being able to thread a beading needle first
go, or rolling neat loops, or being confident that your knots
will not come undone. Even if you are an experienced beader
I hope that this information is helpful to you.
Price verses Quality: Remember, the same is true
in beading as in all aspects of product purchasing.
TOOLS
The most important thing make sure your tools are
comfortable to hold. I like my tool handles to come past
the end of my thumb muscle. I once turned 700 eye pins
in one day and used a shorter handled pair of tools. The
bruise in the palm of my hand was a spectacular blue and
black for a week.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
THREADS
Silimides: C-lon, S-lon, and Nymo have a one way
warp. What does that mean? Just like materials, if it is
threaded the wrong way to the warp it will be difficult to
use; it will constantly spiral into a knotted mess. If you
are not sure if your thread has a warp or not, thread it
as if it does and you cant go wrong.
To make sure you thread correctly: Pull 10cm of thread
off the bobbin and thread your needle on this 10cm; now
pull off the rest of the thread of the bobbin and cut the
thread. This is a good practice to get into. If you have
to answer the telephone, you will know which end is the
correct working end as your needle will already be on.
Fireline: Use this thread if you are working with crystals
or bugles. I definitely recommend it for strength and
durability.
Glues: Please do not use superglues, they crack and
will break threads and knots when they crack. The best
glues are ones that are safe to wear on the skin, such

OTHER TOOLS
Beading needles: Come in a variety of sizes and lengths.
As a general rule, if you are working with size 11 to size 6
beads, a size 12 will pass easily through a couple of times
with thread. If you are working with size 15 beads, a size
13 is more comfortable but will bend much quicker; keep
a few on hand and think about changing sizes while you
work if you find a size 13 slower to work with.
Fine pointed scissors: A fine pointed pair of scissors
such as patchworkers or embroiderers use are really great
they usually have a cover and the small pointed ends
allow you to get tight up to the bead work to trim thread.
Awl, for pearl knots and others: This small device allows
you slip your knot into place before tightening. I have found
the best awl is an extra large paper clip pull one end of the
paper clip wire straight, the remaining bent section is a good
finger-holding size and the wire diameter is perfect.

2. Twist the cord slightly as you push it all the way into
the coil end. Since cord width varies, so does the ease
of this step.
These are a fairly new invention and are great to
use with Tigertail and crimp finishing. They are U
shaped with a channel that the Tigertail threads
through and are added into the clasp loop to stop
wear on the Tigertail. To use, thread a crimp, thread
Tigertail through the left side channel, hook through
the clasp loop, thread Tigertail through clasp loop,
take Tigertail back down the right side channel and
through crimp. Lastly, fold or flatten crimp.
