Happy March!

I resolved this month not to make my usual opening comment about how fast the year is flying along already... but it's hard to to think it...

February was a frantically busy month with lots of lovely teaching & travel and it was just great to catch-up with old friends and make many new ones as I went.

March is also going to be busy with lots of teaching and also the launch of the Bead Sparks 2020 retreat and there's a lot going on behind the scenes to get us ready for that and I can't wait to reveal the teaching line-up and the stunning projects.

This month I'm bringing you a brand new pattern which I know many of you have been waiting over a year for as I get emails from you most days and questions whenever I wear any of the pieces.
So it's exciting to finally launch Jua and I look forward to seeing all the different colour variations appear on my travels and on Facebook etc.

I have also recently added lots more dates & projects for classes in the UK so do check them out here.

So, until a months time when I'll be back with another new launch I wish you good health, good weather and, of course, lots of happy beading!

Jua Pattern

Jua is Swahili for 'Sun' and I'm sure all of us in the UK can agree we certainly need more of that at the moment!

The next best thing is injecting some sunshine, sparkle & colour into your beadwork & jewellery and my new Jua pattern can definitely help with that.

The instructions cover pendants, earrings and necklaces using multiple motifs, so you can make it as subtle or OTT as you desire.

This 24-page set of instructions contains all you need to make your own unique variation of this series and they go right from bezelling the Rivoli to altering the embellishment to play with the design.

This is an intermediate project and you need to know Peyote & Brick stitch to bead it

You can buy the pattern here for £10 and don't forget to use the Pattern Discount Code (details below) to get 20% off

Recently Launched

In February I launched my Gates pattern which has full, and very detailed, instructions on making necklaces & bracelets in this unique style.

The necklace in this style is designed to be fully flexible and comfortable when worn, and can be made as small or large (both in physical size and style) as desired.

The bracelet can also be played around with for size & scale and full details of how to do this is included in the 28-pages.

The pattern is available here for £10 and don't forget to use the Pattern Discount Code to get 20% off (see the bottom of the newsletter for more details).

In November I launched my advanced Crystal Diamonds pattern and have loved getting to see all the wonderfully sparkly variations appear on Instagram & Facebook!

December got floral with the release of my Fan Flowers pattern...

... and then geometric with my Geometric Cog Pendant kit
