Margherita Fusco's Ray of Light Earrings...

Margherita's earrings and instructions were in Bead & Button April 2017. Finally finished, and my colors are Christmassy. These are fun and easy to make.

Michelle Leonardo...

Burst of Brilliance Necklace (below) is designed by Michelle Leonardo and was published in the December 2017 issue of BeadAndButton magazine, and the cover feature.  She creates exquisite fine jewelry made out of seed beads, just look...

And this is her Burst of Brilliance Necklace beaded by me...

Dream Catcher Tutorial by Regina Atkins...

This was published in Bead&Button magazine Dec 2014. I LOVED MAKING IT!!! The rope is an amazingly creative idea that I will use on other pieces of mine. This is my finished piece...

I really enjoyed making this. Thank you Regina!!!

Cynthia Poh's Net Some Glamour Necklace or Bracelet...

Cynthia's piece is from the August 2011 Bead&Button Magazine. I started this without enough pearls, and therefore, made a choker size necklace.  It's a beautiful piece, I'm just not happy with how mine turned out...

Funky Skunk by Virginia Blakelock...

I love this design by Virginia Blakelock. It's smooth and continuous. I had to make one. I don't like my bead selection, but I do love Virginia's from Bead&Button Magazine. Virginia is one of the owners of Beadcats http://www.beadcats.com.

Timeless Elegance...

One way to describe the type of beadwork Cynthia Rutledge creates.

Below is my version of her Honeycomb Bangle that was published in the Bead&Button magazine (Apr 2011). Yes this is how long it has taken me to get around do making one. I thought I would come across the special 6x9 faceted rondelle beads for it, but never did, so I had to stop procrastinating and set out to search and find them on the internet. First I tried some I already had but they were too big and had to rip it up. This is a project where your seed beads need to be uniform as much as possible to make it perfect. I would like to do another one with the perfect beads. She also has the tutorial for this one at her site http://www.cynthiarutledge.net/kits/b-honeycomb-bangle/index.htm

I must show a few of her fairly recent pieces that I love...

This is her Jacobean Floral Bracelet, and I hope to take this class some day.

and this is her La Dolce Vita Bracelet.

And this amazing Victorian necklace is called her Art to Wear Necklace. You will find more about her bead work from her site http://www.cynthiarutledge.net/.

Scrumptious Scallops...

This is Carolyn Cave's 'Scrumptious Scallops' Necklace. It was in Bead & Button magazine (June 2014).

I beaded it with blue and black and silver, but don't like the result. Carolyn used off-white to brown beads (see below), which is just beautiful.

I can't find a website for her but you can find her Lady Beadle Designs on Facebook...

Linda L. Jones Right-Angle Weave Cuff...

I've been wanting to do this for a while. It was in Bead & Button Magazine years ago, I don't know when, sorry. I loved it. It was easy to make because her instructions were very good.  Here is the one I made from her instructions...
