BEAD WEAVING

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam
Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them, as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Beading Needles and Cats

It turns out cats are attracted to beading needles, and they swallow them.

The needles do not pass through the digestive system. Instead, they work their
way through the walls of the esophagus and get lodged in organs, muscle and
bone.

Here are some X-rays of Cleo who swallowed a beading needle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Interpretations
DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



VINTAGE REVIVAL:  Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's as Bead
Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

VINTAGE REVIVAL:  Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's as Bead
Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING

clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

VINTAGE REVIVAL:  Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's as Bead

these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

VINTAGE REVIVAL:  Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's as Bead
Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald

these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

BEAD WEAVING



STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Interpretations
DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.  Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.

Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?

THE ILLUSTRATIVE BEADER: Beaded Tapestery Competition
Announcement

Deadline: August 31st, 2011
No Entry Fees
Open to US and International Artists

Prizes
First Prize of a $1000.00 shopping spree on the Land of Odds web-site
(www.landofodds.com), and a Runner-Up Prize of a $400.00 shopping spree on the
web-site

Description
Create a Beaded Tapestry by manipulating beads, cloth and fibers into an
imaginative detailed, tactile and visual representation of this year's theme:
Mystery Genre Book Covers

And then write a short Artist Statement (between 1000-2000 words) about the
general story-line of the book which the cover represents, how you made choices
about what things to include on your cover, the materials and techniques you
used in creating your book cover tapestry, and your strategies for adding a
sense of dimensionality to the book cover tapestry.

Here we use the concept of "Tapestry" in its broadest sense as a stitched, sewn
and/or woven wall hanging. Your tapestry may be woven, loomed, stitched,
quilted, cross-stitched, crocheted, knitted, sewn, braided, knotted,
embroidered, macramed, beaded and the like. Your tapestry will combine
fibers/threads/and/or cloth and beads in some way, and must consist of at least
70% beads. Beads may form the background canvas of your piece, and/or may be
used to embellish your canvas, and/or as fringe, and/or as stitchery covering
parts of your piece. Your piece should be mounted or framed in some way, ready
for hanging on a wall. Your tapestry may utilize many different techniques. In
addition, as a "Mystery Genre Book Cover", your Beaded Tapestry should woo and
entice the viewer to want open that cover and read the book!

Entries will be judged by a panel from The Center for Beadwork & Jewelry Arts
based on
1. INSIGHT: The Artist's inner awareness and powers of self-expression through
needle arts and stitchery, fiber arts and beadwork, particularly in terms of how
well this year's Competition theme is incorporated into the piece.
2. TECHNIQUE(S):
a. The range of techniques employed within the piece, and how these are combined
and executed.
b. The degree the Artist is successfully able to incorporate 3-Dimensional
elements and give depth to the finished piece -- layering, embellishment,
embroidery, movement, optical effects, color tricks, shapes, textures, patterns,
and other structures
c. The strategic and parisomonious placement of visual elements throughout the
piece
d. The details -- how creatively, strategically, and to what extent story
details are presented within the Tapestry
3. USE OF BEADS/BEADING AS ARTISTIC MEDIUM: To what extent the Beaded Tapestry
may be viewed as a work of "art", rather than "craft"; has the Artist fully
utilized the power of the "bead" as a medium for art -- an expression of color,
light, shadow, tactile sense and emotion
4. VISUAL APPEAL: The overall visual appeal of the Beaded Tapestry, and how well
it tells a story and seems to grab the Viewer's attention and motivate the
Viewer to want to, in this year's case, read the book.
5. QUALITY OF WRITTEN ARTIST STATEMENT: How well the Artist's write-up enhances
an appreciation of the Beaded Tapestry, how it captures the theme, as well as
the Artist's talents in design, insight and implementation.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, 1:00pm-3:00pm No fees.

You may join the group at anytime.   The purposes of the group are manifold,
including to explore new methods of beading, to experiment with variations on
traditional techniques, and to study culture-specific beading techniques.

Wed, 9/16
Dimensional Beadwork (9/2)
Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Designs  (9/16)

DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Beginning, Wed, 9/16, we'll be beginning a new topic:
Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Interpretations

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.

Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.


Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?
Can we create patterns for bead-weaving interpretations of pieces we like?



There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy

Bead Study meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 1-3pm.   Let
Warren know if you are interested in joining the group.  Anyone can join.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

BEAD STUDY GROUP

Meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, 1:00pm-3:00pm No fees.

You may join the group at anytime.   The purposes of the group are manifold,
including to explore new methods of beading, to experiment with variations on
traditional techniques, and to study culture-specific beading techniques.

Wed, 9/9
The group will be judging and selecting semi-finalists for the
All Dolled Up: Beaded Art Doll Competition

Wed, 9/16
Dimensional Beadwork (9/2)
Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Designs  (9/16)

DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Beginning, Wed, 9/16, we'll be beginning a new topic:
Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Designs

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.

Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.


Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?



There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy

Bead Study meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 1-3pm.   Let
Warren know if you are interested in joining the group.  Anyone can join.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, 1:00pm-3:00pm No fees.

You may join the group at anytime.   The purposes of the group are manifold,
including to explore new methods of beading, to experiment with variations on
traditional techniques, and to study culture-specific beading techniques.


Wed, 9/2 and 9/16
Dimensional Beadwork (9/2)
Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Designs  (9/16)

DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Beginning, Wed, 9/16, we'll be beginning a new topic:
Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Designs

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.

Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.


Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?



There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy

Bead Study meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 1-3pm.   Let
Warren know if you are interested in joining the group.  Anyone can join.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

Meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, 1:00pm-3:00pm No fees.

You may join the group at anytime.   The purposes of the group are manifold,
including to explore new methods of beading, to experiment with variations on
traditional techniques, and to study culture-specific beading techniques.


Wed, 9/2 and 9/16
Dimensional Beadwork (9/2)
Costume Jewelry As Bead Weaving Designs  (9/16)

DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy



Beginning, Wed, 9/16, we'll be beginning a new topic:
Rethinking Costume Jewelry from the 1920's thru 1950's
as Bead Weaving Designs

One prominent jewelry artist back then was Miriam Haskell.    Diane Fitzgerald
has a workshop based on Haskell's designs.  You might check out Diane's website
for ideas.

Another artist of the time goes by Juliana Jewelry.


Can we create rules/terms/concepts/strategies for translating design elements in
these vintage, costume pieces, into bead weaving terms?



There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/beadstudy

Bead Study meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month from 1-3pm.   Let
Warren know if you are interested in joining the group.  Anyone can join.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

DISCUSSION NOTES POSTED ON THESE WEBSITE LOCATIONS:
http://blog.landofodds.com   Go to CLASS NOTES, then BEAD STUDY LINK

TOPIC: Dimensional Shapes in Beadwork
We are using Diane Fitzgerald's new book on dimensional shapes as a study guide.
The book is entitled "Shaped Beadwork: Dimensional Jewelry with Peyote Stitch".
We have copies for sale in the shop.

We will probably stick with this topic for the next 12 months.

We will organize the studies into 5 units:
(1) Making basic polygons
(2) Making donut polygons
(3) 3-Dimensional Shapes
(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

TOPIC: Dimensional Shapes in Beadwork
We are using Diane Fitzgerald's new book on dimensional shapes as a study guide.
The book is entitled "Shaped Beadwork: Dimensional Jewelry with Peyote Stitch".

We will probably stick with this topic for the next 12 months.

We will organize the studies into 5 units:
(1) Making basic polygons
(2) Making donut polygons
(3) 3-Dimensional Shapes
(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

TOPIC: Dimensional Shapes in Beadwork
We are using Diane Fitzgerald's new book on dimensional shapes as a study guide.
The book is entitled "Shaped Beadwork: Dimensional Jewelry with Peyote Stitch".
We have copies for sale in the shop.

We will probably stick with this topic for the next 12 months.

We will organize the studies into 5 units:
(1) Making basic polygons
(2) Making donut polygons
(3) 3-Dimensional Shapes
(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for

STITCH OF THE MONTH
Learn a new bracelet stitch each month!
Instructor: Kathleen Lynam

Meets one Sat morning each month, usually the first Saturday.

The Stitch of the Month curriculum is designed to teach 12 major
bead-weaving stitches/techniques in a comparative context. This is
perhaps one of the best ways to learn bead weaving. You get a
clearer understanding of what each stitch is, how to manage and
control it, and what your project and design options are, when you
learn them comparatively, rather than in isolation from each other.

Each class is devoted to explaining a little of the history of the
stitch and the how-to basics of doing the stitch. Students then
practice with variations on the stitch, such as
increasing/decreasing, flat vs. tubular vs. circular, and the like.

Students create a bracelet each month.

Students may join the class at any point in the 12-month cycle. Each class is
really in-and-of-itself.   You may do all of the classes, or only some of them,
as you desire.  If you miss a class, it will be repeated in the next cycle.

(4) "Shape" as a design element
"Dimensionality" as a design element
(5) Other Geometrics from other artists, like Julia Pretl, Jean Powers, Judith
Walker, Laura McCabe


There is no teaching charge for this class; however, there may be a small charge
for materials.

You may also register for the BeadStudy group under Yahoo where summaries of the
discussions will be sent to group members, and you may continue the discussions
on line.   Summaries of all discussions and all handouts are archived here for
you, as well.
