Find the hidden picture of a bead strand
(exactly like the one at right) and email us at
[email protected] by November 8 with
the page number the strand is on (put “Bead Strand”
in the subject line). We’ll pick a name at random the following
week to win a copy of Beader’s Guide: Peyote Stitch. Good luck!
Congratulations to Connie Tobin-Heil of Pittsburgh, PA, who found
the bead strand on p. 58 of the June 2019 issue!

[email protected]I
t seems like only yesterday that many of us were longing for
hot summer days. And now, in what feels like the blink of
an eye, autumn is upon us. (Time certainly does fly when
you’re beading!) The fall season gets me thinking about two
things — color and change.As the air becomes crisper and the days shorten, my excitement grows to take
in autumn’s impending abundance of vivid hues. From sepia to amber, scarlet to crim-
son, maroon to auburn, and so many more — take a cue from nature’s presentation of
changing shades when choosing colors to bead with.
I can’t think of a better way to honor vibrant falling
leaves than by stitching up Zsuzsanna Erdei’s “Flying
dragon scale bracelet” (p. 45), which features leaf-like
Kite beads artfully arranged along a pearlescent
walkway.
Autumn is a transitional time. It has been said that
the only constant in life is change. I plan to embrace
the shifting season by donning my handmade knits,
indulging in comforting food and drinks (pie and
cocoa, anyone?), and settling in with a few great
beading endeavors to keep me entertained through-
out the longer nights. There is a cornucopia of spec-
tacular projects in this issue to help you do the same!
To dress up the sleeves of your cozy turtlenecks,
try out the “Classic crystal bracelet” by Puca (p. 51) and the “Crescent bows bracelet”
(p. 24) by Adriana Banyárová. Or, pay homage to the changing sky with Iulia Postica’s
“Half moon earrings” (p. 48).
Do you have goals for the remainder of 2019? Perhaps you want to get started
on stitching up some sparkling jewels for the upcoming holidays? In that case, check
out Melissa Grakowsky Shippee’s “Dramatically delicate drop pendant” (p. 28) and
Svetlana Chernitsky’s “Kumi dangles necklace” (p. 21).
No matter how you welcome the season, take a moment to reflect on your bounty
of beading accomplishments this year. What project(s) are you most proud of? Which
one was the most fun and why? Celebrate your successes (you deserve it) and your
mistakes (consider them learning opportunities), and no matter what, bead on!from the editors
