Creative Beads and Jewellery

As always, our Design Team has been pulling out all the stops to bring you a sumptuous array of techniques, styles and designs to keep you inspired! And with Christmas (albeit distantly) on the horizon, why not have a go at creating your own unique jewellery pieces to give as gifts this year?
Dawn Cotton Fuge kickstarts this issue with an eye-catching and contemporary jewellery collection on page 12, which is perfect for all occasions and suitable for all levels of jewellery maker from beginner through to advanced.
If you favour bold, statement jewellery pieces, don’t miss Vivienne Whitty’s silver-inspired feature on page 16. Created almost entirely from pieces of silver tubing and a selection of silver beads, these fabulously funky pieces are surprisingly simple to make.
Judith Hannington and Aurora Lombardo are cooking their own beads this month. Judith gives us the lowdown on microwave kilns on page 20, with a selection of fused beads incorporating radiant dichroic glass, while Aurora enlists the help of a tabletop kiln in her foil-inlaid designs on page 42.
The colours of the season are showcased in all their glory this issue with an eclectic array of jewellery pieces suitable for a whole host of tastes and budgets. Amanda Pickstock and Jane Purdy unveil their Jangalore Secrets collection on page 24, fusing gold-tinted roses with opulent shades of burgundy and pink. Elsewhere, Gill Teasdale incorporates sun-kissed, autumnal hues into her creations on the cover and on page 32.
With the current trend for bright, oversized watches sweeping the fashion world, we thought we’d create our own. From elegant timepieces to all-out bling, turn to page 52 for everything you need to know to get you started.
From flower beads and metal charms to chains and suede, eclectic style with an edge is the order of the day for Emily Kersh’s Class of 2010 collection on page 76, while Indian paint beads are put through their paces on page 82.
