Happy March!

2021 is still rolling along so quickly and today is the first day of March I've had a chance to sit down and write to you with news of my new pattern and some brand new links which I hope you find interesting.

As well as teaching and writing & editing patterns (plus of course beading) I've been very busy recently planning & ordering for future kits which has been made tricky by the news from Swarovski last year but I think I'm finally getting on top of it and all the pieces I've beaded behind the scenes (and kept secret so far) should still be able to appear over the next 1-2 years so keep an eye out for those...
Sadly the Swarovski news does mean that some of my previously launched kits will be out-of-stock very soon and I currently have no plans to try to re-stock them. 
So, if you are interested, at the time of writing this I have just 2 crystals sets left for Ochrana (which launches today as a pattern), 2 Limona Kits and just 10 kits left for Hugs & Kisses (which comes in 6 different colour combinations now).

My schedule for the rest of 2021 is still very busy and I have lots of new virtual classes recently launched (or launching soon) so do read on for more news on those.

So, until my next newsletter, when I'll be bringing you another launch (and more class dates)... I wish you good health, and, of course, lots of happy beading!












 

Ochrana
Launching today is my Ochrana pattern to create a stunning & unique piece of jewellery which combines some of my unique geometric beadwork techniques with plenty of sparkle for a versatile and adaptable piece.

 
The 46-page instructions cover all the information you need to make the pendant and beaded chain & fastening with option extra adornment.
 

You can purchase the pattern here (and don't forget to use the 'Pattern Discount Code' which you'll find below to get 20% off when you buy this)

Launched Recently

In February I launched my new Crosio pattern which uses Brick Stitch combined with seed beads, Cylinder beads (e.g. Delicas or Aikos) and 2mm round pearls (Swarovski or Czech) to make geometric motifs inspired by crochet.
You can purchase the pattern here (and don't forget to use the 'Pattern Discount Code' which you'll find below to get 20% off when you buy this)

In January I launched my Ligilo pattern which covers how to bead decorative crystal bezels and combine them with an ornate beaded chain for a striking & versatile series of jewellery.

You can purchase the pattern here (and don't forget to use the 'Pattern Discount Code' which you'll find below to get 20% off when you buy this)
Launched in December my Limona pattern shows how to create these intermediate CRAW components which can be used to make a wide variety of jewellery.

These components mix Swarovski Lemon Fancy Stones with 2mm Pearls (or similar) and seed beads to create beautiful bezels that frame and highlight the focal crystals.

You can purchase the pattern here (and don't forget to use the 'Pattern Discount Code' which you'll find below to get 20% off when you buy this)
Also launched in December, and to celebrate Rivoli Beadwork being 2 years old, I wanted to say 'Thank You' to everyone who purchased it and give you some more projects (including this stunning large ornament!) to accompany it so launched my More Crystal Cages pattern.
For this you need the book, as the instructions refer to multiple techniques in it, and if you use the discount code 'rivolibeadwork' in my shopping cart this pattern will be free for you
In November I launched BeJewels which is one of my most-addictive projects ever!
The instructions are available as either a written pattern with a full 42-pages of instructions, diagrams & photos or a set of videos (which also have all the written instructions plus over 90 minutes of instructions spread over 20+ videos).
Whichever option you choose (and you can preview a video here to see some of the BeJewels in action) then be sure to use the 'pattern discount code' or 'video discount code' to get 20% off

In October I launched Crashing Waves which is inspired by crashing waves & sea foam, whilst the rope is beaded in sand colours and its shape is inspired by the sand dunes I walk on in Cornwall.

This project uses Peyote Stitch for the Star and Cubic Right-Angle Weave (CRAW - full stitch instructions are included) for the optional rope and beaded clasp.

You can buy this 30-page pattern here and don't forget to use the 'Pattern Discount Code' to get 20% off (see the bottom of this newsletter for details)
The 'beading-along-together' part has now begun but of course the Winter 2020 Secret Beadalong (like all of my Beadalongs) can be beaded at any time. So if you fancy having some beading fun, whenever you want to bead it, then you can now sign-up for it here for written instructions or here for 50+ videos and written instructions.
Don't forget to use the 'pattern discount code' or 'video discount code' (details on both at the bottom of this newsletter) to get money off whichever one you choose

Virtual Classes
Already lots of my classes for 2021 are fully-booked (or have limited spaces) but I've just added some new dates (and brand-new classes) and, just like in 2020, some are one-day, and some are multiple-session.
Each class has different time zone options so you can choose a class to suit you - just scroll down on each class to see the time it runs in various time-zones and also a time-zone convertor so you can check if it works for you.
Please note that some of my classes are different prices through different venues and also some of these will be the last time I will routinely schedule them in as classes.

You can see all my classes here by date or here by venue (scroll to 'virtual' and below to see the different options and venues I'm teaching them through).

But if you're interested in anything in particular there here are some specific classes:
Estrella:
Stallur:

Mostra:
More dates for this will be added next month
Crystal Ribbons:
Ceilte:
Lemon Blossoms:
More dates for this class will be added next month
Stars Master Class:
