While posting, I realized it had been quite a while since I blogged, so I thought I’d catch you up on what I’ve been doing lately.

Entwined is a Celtic inspired bracelet that uses Layered RAW, which is one of the techniques I explore in my book Beadweaving Beyond the Basics: http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/entwined-bracelet-tutorial-layered-raw-and-faux-craw

Fold Me Up expands on another book project, Fee Fi Faux Fun, which uses a faux RAW technique in a diagonal variation: http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/fold-me-up-bracelet-tutorial-diagonal-faux-right-angle-weave

Another Layered RAW piece that I made for Valentine’s Day is Mon Coeur: http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/mon-coeur-heart-pendant-tutorial-layered-right-angle-weave-lraw

Once in a Blue Moon (this one is available for free): http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/once-in-a-blue-moon-free-tutorial

The first piece in my Shape Shifter collection, Diamond Lattice uses a design technique I love to use (the second variation, Vintage Lace, will be released in April as part of a video series produced by Interweave Press): http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/shape-shifter-diamond-lattice-variation-bracelet-tutorial

Slyther is a sturdy rope using SuperDuos and seed beads: http://beadingbutterfly.com/patterns-tutorials/slyther-beaded-rope-pattern-tutorialComing soon from Interweave (see all of my Interweave products here: http://bit.ly/1Xy2oya) in my 4 part video series are:

Dreamcatcher

Flutterby

Sliver

and Vintage LaceOne project will be included with each video, which are companions to my book. Each video corresponds to a chapter of the book, except for Shape Shifter, which is a look inside my design technique and how I wrote the book in the first place. There will be a DVD with all 4 videos included, plus kits for Shape Shifter (Vintage Lace).

Finally, one more thing I’m doing soon is an encore presentation of my webinar from last year, Drawing Bead Diagrams in Microsoft Word. That will be on the afternoon of April 19 and you can sign up here: https://www.craftonlineuniversity.com/courses/diy-bead-diagrams-how-to-draw-bead-charts-with-microsoft-word-web-seminar-04-19-2016

Plus, from now until Dec 31, 2015, every $10 spent (excluding shipping or tax) earns you a free tutorial (priced at $10 or less) for you or a friend. Do not place the free tutorial in your cart. After your order, or in the notes, let me know which tutorial(s) you want and what email address to send them to.

The upcoming Nov/Dec 2015 issue of Beadwork Magazine will contain a sample project, Palisades, from my book Beadweaving Beyond the Basics (available as an eBook here or as a physical copy preorder here). This project is the first one in the book and uses the right angle weave variation I call Double Diamond Right Angle Weave (DDRAW).

The magazine also has a limited number of kits for Palisades available, in the original colorway. The silverlined salmon seed beads as well as the gold seed beads are Miyuki Duracoat beads and the crystals are genuine Swarovski bicones in Jet AB2X.

The kit is available here and when you purchase, you will get the digital pattern immediately, even before the magazine is released!

Beadweaving Beyond the Basics has been released in eBook format already! If you can’t wait for the print version (remember, any books purchased from my shop will be signed before shipping), you can get the digital version here. You’ll be able to start beading right away!

If you want to see previews of projects from the book, you can find a few at the bottom of this post and even more on the Facebook page here.

By the way, if you want a print copy but finding a cheaper option is important, you can also buy it from Amazon here.

I’ll leave you with a few pictures of projects from the book. Click on any photo to enlarge.

If you would like me to teach this project at your bead society or bead retreat, please contact me.
