Mother Nature is probably the best source of inspiration for many beaders, and these four fun projects are a testament to some of the varied ways of interpreting her cues. Start off with Thomasin Alyxanders Fun and feathery bracelet, p. 4, for a delightful accessory youll want to wear often. This design takes advantage of the new two-hole dagger and brick beads for its dynamic look. Stefanie Deddo-Evans also uses two-hole beads to create her SuperDuo starburst bracelet & ring, p. 6. If beads with two holes arent your thing, try Bobbie Yoakums adorable Funny cats bracelet, p. 10, worked in peyote stitch with classic cylinder beads. Finally, go for a delicate floral look in my Petal pusher necklace, p. 14. This design features Rizo beads but could easily be made with other types of drop beads or tiny daggers. Happy beading!

join them in the center of the compo-nent. Retrace the thread path, and sew through the beadwork to exit an edge B (point d). Your beadwork will resemble a ships wheel with six A spokes in the center, six edge Bs, and six B spokes projecting out from the edge Bs. [6] Pick up a B, and sew through the available hole of the same B (de). Push this B down to the edge B. Pick up another B, sew through the available hole of the same B (ef), and snug up the beadwork. [7] Sew through the other hole of the same edge B your thread exited at the start of step 6, the next A spoke, and the nearest hole of the next edge B (fg). [8] Work as in steps 6 and 7 to com-plete the round, and then sew through the beadwork to exit the second B in a pair of Bs added in step 6 (figure 4, point a). [9] Pick up three 150 seed beads, and sew through the available hole of the next B spoke (ab). Pick up three 150s, and sew through the next pair of Bs added in step 6 (bc). Repeat these two stitches to complete the round, and step up through the first three 150s picked up in this step, the next B spoke, and the following three 150s (cd).[10] Pick up five 150s, and sew through the next three 150s picked up in the previous step, the following B spoke, and the next three 150s (de). Repeat this stitch to complete the round. End the tail (Online Beading Basics) but not the working thread.[11] Make a total of five starburst components.

Assembly[1] With the working thread from one of the components, sew through the 150s along the outer edge to exit the center three 150s in a five-bead loop (figure 5, point a). Pick up three 150s, and sew through the corresponding center three 150s in another component (ab). Pick up three 150s, and sew through the corresponding three 150s in the first component (bc). Retrace the thread path twice, and end this working thread.[2] With the working thread from the second component, sew through the beadwork to exit the three center 150s opposite the connection made in the previous step. Work as in step 1 to connect the third component, and then repeat to connect the remaining components.

Clasp[1] Add 12 in. (30 cm) of thread (Online Basics) to an end component, and exit the center three 150s opposite the connection. Pick up nine 150s and a 6 mm split ring, and sew through the center three 150s again. Retrace the thread path several times to secure

the connection, and end the thread.[2] Attach half of the clasp to the split ring. [3] Repeat steps 1 and 2 at the other end of the bracelet.

Continue through the first six 150s picked up in this step.[3] Picking up nine 150s per stitch, work in modified right-angle weave (Online Basics) to make a strip that is long enough to fit around your finger. Stop just before the last (joining) right-angle weave stitch.[4] To join: Pick up three 150s, and sew through the corresponding center three 150s on the other side of the component. Pick up three 150s, and sew through the 150s your thread exited at the start of this step. Retrace the thread path through all the beads in the right-angle weave band, and end the thread. w

For each medallion, you will stitch the rectangular body from top to bottom and then work the bottom taper. To finish, you will use the tail to add the top taper. Work the following steps for each medallion in the pattern:[1] On 1 yd. (1.4 m) of thread, pick up two color A 110 cylinder beads. Sew through both beads again, leaving a 12-in. (30 cm) tail, and position them side by side. Exit the first A. These two beads are marked with an * in each medallion.[2] Reading from left to right, pick up the beads marked with an . These beads will shift to form rows 1 and 2 of the pattern as row 3 is worked.[3] Work row 3 of the pattern in odd-count peyote stitch (Online Beading Basics). You will not need to add the last bead of the row; it is one of the * beads from step 1. Simply sew through this bead (photo a), and turn as follows:

Sew under the thread bridge of the nearest two edge beads (for this row, they are the beads marked with an *), and sew back through the last bead of the row (photo b).[4] Continue stitching the pattern in odd-count peyote stitch, working the turn described above at the end of each odd-numbered row. When you complete the body of the pattern, work the bottom taper by decreasing the length of the rows as indicated in the pattern. When you complete the taper, do not end the working thread.[5] With the 12-in. (30 cm) tail, sew under the thread bridge of the nearest two edge beads (the beads marked with an *), and work the top taper. When you complete the taper, end the tail (Online Basics).

Assembly[1] Arrange the medallions on your work surface in the desired order. With the working thread from one medallion, sew through the beadwork to exit the second edge A from the bottom of the body of the medallion.[2] Pick up a cylinder in any color, a 4 mm round fire-polished bead, and a cylinder, and sew through the corre-sponding edge A on the body of the next medallion. Sew through the third edge A from the bottom, continue back through all the beads just added, and sew through the third edge A from the bottom of the first medallion. Retrace the thread path of the connection.[3] Sew through the beadwork of either medallion to exit the second edge A from the top of the body of the medal-lion. Repeat step 2 to make a second connection, and end the thread (photo c).[4] Continue connecting the medallions in the desired order.

Clasp[1] Add 12 in. (30 cm) of thread to an end medallion, and exit the third edge A from the bottom of the body of the medallion.[2] Pick up three cylinders in any color, a 4 mm, three cylinders, half of the clasp, and three cylinders. Sew back through the 4 mm, pick up three cylinders, and sew through the third edge A from the top of the body of the medallion. Sew through the fourth edge A from the top, retrace the thread path through the clasp connection, and sew through the fourth edge A from the bottom. Retrace the thread path of the connection one more time, and end the thread (photo d).[3] Repeat steps 1 and 2 at the other end of the bracelet. w

sew through the next 12 150s (figure 2).[4] Pick up a 150, skip the next Rizo, and sew through the following Rizo (figure 3, ab). Pick up a 150, skip the next Rizo, and sew through the follow-ing five 150s (bc). Pull the thread snug, push the new 150s toward the center Rizo, and end the tail (Online Beading Basics) but not the working thread.[5] Repeat steps 14 twice to embellish a total of three 6 mms.[6] Align two embellished 6 mms so the second and third 150s around one 6 mm line up with the fourth and fifth 150s around the next 6 mm. With the work-ing thread exiting the fifth 150 around one 6 mm, sew through the third and second 150s around the other 6 mm and the fourth, fifth, and sixth 150s around the 6 mm your thread exited at the start of this step (figure 4, ab). [7] Pick up a 150, and sew through the fourth 150 around the other 6 mm, the 150 your thread exited at the start of this step, and the next three 150s (bc).[8] Align the third embellished 6 mm

so it mirrors the first, and attach it as shown (cd). End the thread.[9] With the thread remaining on one of the side 6 mms, sew through the beadwork to exit the sixth 150 from the outer Rizo. Pick up two 150s, sew through the fifth and sixth 150s again, and continue through the two new 150s (ef). Working in modified ladder stitch (Online Basics), add five more pairs of 150s (fg). Connect the end pair of 150s to the fifth and sixth 150s around the 6 mm to form a loop. End the thread.[10] Repeat step 9 on the other side of the component.[11] Repeat steps 110 to make a total of five components.
