Each issue over the next year will bring you more of these projects. And we’re thrilled about Carl Clasmeyer’s stunning…

Q I have been braiding for a while and I want to take my jewelry to the next level, but I’m not sure where to start. Any suggestions? A Learning how to plan your design from start to finish before you start braiding will help you elevate the quality of your work. Here are some of my tips for making unique, inspired jewelry. DESIGN PLANNING For inspiration and to get a sense of what is happening in the world of art jewelry, I often visit (in person and online) stores and galleries that sell high-end artist-made jewelry. I also study the works of my personal jewelry heroes: Alexander Calder, Mary Lee Hu, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Once you start on this journey you will realize that the clasp is…

25 YEARS artist Carl Clasmeyer has credited Bead&Button magazine for bringing attention to his intricate and cleverly designed clasps. Since silver is his primary material, he was a natural choice to design the Bead&Button 25th Anniversary Bead-Clasp. This limited-edition work of art showcases Clasmeyer’s attention to detail, function, and versatility. Swirling vines create a pretty pattern, while also providing practical loops for catching your thread. You can make it a focal, use it like a charm, or twist it gently to work as a clasp. And did we mention the subtle 25th Anniversary logo? It’s just what you’d expect from an artist whose clasps, beads, and pendants mimic a dizzying and delightful number of objects, from frogs and turtles to doghouses and handbags. Many have whimsical surprises designed into their…

With the 25th anniversary of Bead&Button magazine upon us, we might pause for a moment to think about how we got where we are today, and new beaders might find our humble origins intriguing. There’s little doubt about it: Beading has changed over the years! The current surge in beading began in the late 1980s, and it continues to be strong. More than any other era of beadwork, this cycle is noted for the wealth of publications (both magazines and books); the rise of shows, classes and teachers, bead societies, and multi-hole beads; and, most recently, bead stores, both local and online. FROM HIPPIES TO PRESERVATIONISTS From the strings of “love beads” worn by hippies, we’ve evolved in ways few might have predicted and reached heights of complexity in construction…

Eliza’s Violets This bead embroidery necklace was inspired by two elements: the Pantone Color of the Year (Ultraviolet) and My Fair Lady’s Eliza Doolittle and her famous basket of violets. A Tiffany stone cabochon by Clint Gardner has been paired with Water Lilies Shibori silk, which adds dimension and texture to the necklace. The C-lon neck chain is seven-strand kumihimo with 110 seed beads on one thread. Chris Lewis-King Binghamton, New York lewiskingchris@aol.com Infinity This necklace is one of my favorites. It has scrolls of tubular herringbone stitch accented with different sizes of bicones and rondelles, finished off with a matching beaded toggle.
