Beadwork June/July 2009
	Delicious Donut Lariat by Katie Hacker June/July 2009 The leafy tendrils on the etched-shell donut were the inspiration for this long, lean design. Learn to create a simple peyote bail with matte hematite size 11 seed beads and how to turn a donut into a focal clasp. The finished necklace is 25" (adjustable). This is a companion project to Katie's Beading Secrets in the June/July 2009 issue of Beadwork.
	Bonus Patterns for Limelight Leopard by MaryLou Holvenstot June/July 2009
Beadwork April/May 2009
	Perfect Pinwheels by Katie Hacker April/May 2009 Katie Hacker went daisy crazy with this artsy, asymmetrical design. Beyond providing transitions between the wire-wrapped focal section and the ladder-stitched straps, the pinwheels also punctuate the necklace with color and provide dramatic places for the eye to rest while taking in the entire design. This is a companion project to Katie's Beading Secrets in the April/May 2009 issue of Beadwork.
Beadwork December 2008/January 2009
	Custom Cool: Strap for Pretty Sneaky Clasp by Melinda Barta December 2008/January 2009 If you loved Melinda’s custom Pretty Sneaky Snap Clasp that doubled as a pendant, finish off the design with an embellished right-angle-weave bracelet strap. For the clasp, see her Custom Cool department in the December 2008/January 2009 issue of Beadwork.
	Egyptian Cuff by Shelly Nybakke December 2008/January 2009 This metal-bead cuff has just the right amount of crystal sparkle, worthy of an Egyptian princess. Worked in segments, the multilayer right-angle-weave rectangles are first woven, then connected with loops of beads.
Beadwork October/November 2008
	Holiday Crochet Necklace by Barbara Richard October/November 2008 Sitting on a lanai in Florida one May, leisurely crocheting a seed-bead tube, Barbara realized that pairing sets of red seed beads with green cylinder beads could result in a holly-branch effect. It worked just as she had hoped! This project will available at Beading Daily for a limited time.
