The November 2019 Design Challenge: PATTERNS |
|
|
Our minds love patterns — we’re hardwired to recognize them! In our works of art, patterns communicate a sense of balance, harmony, contrast, rhythm, or movement. As artists, we intertwine mediums, blend colors for ombré effects, and embrace repetition. This month we honor patterns! Send us your basketweave metalwork, your geometric beading, and your chevron designs. Do you incorporate one of these classic repeat styles: brick, diamond, ogee, toss, stripe, dot, or plaid? If your jewelry has an obvious pattern repeat, we want to see it! Find dates and details online. Passion for patterns → |

Do you need more good vibes in your life? If so, malachite might be for you. This gorgeous green gem has been credited with a number of metaphysical properties. Some believe it detects impending danger and brings harmony, calming emotions, and regenerative energy. This captivating mineral stacks well with rows of ladder-stitched seed beads to form a lovely necklace or bracelet. |

With colorful glory, maximalism is taking the interior decorating, graphic design, and fashion industries by storm. The beading community is ahead of the curve, with many of us having embraced this style for years without even knowing it. We offer six ways to know if you are a beading maximalist. |
