Contemporary Geometric Beadwork

If you haven't ordered your copy of 
then you are missing out.  






Pyramid Bracelet from the book with a twist; I added these daring and dangerous SPIKES. 

These spikes can be found at Rings and Things









This book will open your eyes and 



encourage you to approach beadwork in such a refreshing and creative way.







You will want to play with every new concept!







You will learn new thread paths that will revolutionize your designs and their structure!







From the spiral design of the book to the amazing photographs and literary contents...



this book is my favorite beading "text book" ever!







AND there will be a Volume II, which you can pre-order and have online access to the projects as they are developed! How the heck that really happens is beyond me but it is FREAKIN' AWESOME!







Keep beading alive and encourage your community to get involved!



Teach at your local library or even the high school.



Do your part to encourage people to create and, if at all possible, with beads!







Blessings!

The over the top Beaded Cogs Steampunk Style necklace I created for the Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest made it to the finals. You can go and rate the top ten from 1-5 here . Here are the fabulous photos my wonderful photographer (Thanks again BRAD!!!) took and while it was at his house his wonderful wife and president of the Dallas Bead Society got to prance around and wear it for the day. I told her she had to wear it for a whole day before she sent it home to me!  He takes awesome photos!!!  It wasn't the first time my beady friends have snagged it to wear for the day. One of them still claims it is a birthday gift that I haven't given to them yet.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thank You

I want to thank everyone for your kind comments on "Effy' whether here or by email. I also want to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to pursue the many facets of beading as an art and a business. Who would have thought one thing could be so fulfilling in so many different facets. The result of having such encouraging friends is the developement of my very first pattern and kit. Beaded Cogs SteamPunk Style  And there are four colorways. I have a limited number of kits right now but after I teach my first class I will be able to put together more. If you want more information you can leave a comment with your email and I will get back to you.
