  • One bead quilt square down ...

Thanks to Jill Devon and Liz Thornton, two well-known bead artists in the UK, I was able to embellish my square with a floral design from their new book, The Beader's Floral .

  • Bead embroidery sparks inspiration

    Before I was an Associate Editor here at Bead&Button magazine, I couldn't wait to receive the latest issue in the mail. I would scan each article and become inspired by a technique I hadn't tried yet. Now that I've done a lot of beading I can look at a piece of jewelry and see what stitch...

  • Add new life to old jewelry

    It’s been exciting to watch the VintageStyle Jewelry special issue take shape. Looking at how our contributors create vintage-looking jewelry and find new uses for vintage components got me thinking about a few of the older pieces sitting in my own jewelry box.
