  • Bead stitching blast from the past

    As we gear up to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Bead&Button , we’ve been thinking about how fortunate the magazine was to have emerged at the leading edge of the beading movement. A few years too early, who knows if there would have been enough interest to keep the magazine afloat? A few years...

  • Art, science, math: It’s all in beading

    Last week I wrote about the intersection of art and science that beading inhabits . When this story originally caught my attention, I wrote about mathematician Gwen Fisher’s baseball bat tetrahedron .

  • Beading is a great way to be involved in the arts

    Now that fall is upon us and school has been back in session for a few weeks, I’ve noticed more stories about the role that art plays in education . The authors of a study on arts education stress the importance of preparing students for the 21st century workforce by involving them in the arts. In particular...

  • Bead&Button forums

One reason is for the sense of community the forums promote — beaders all around the world are able to talk with people they may never meet. Another reason I like the forums is for the ideas that are generated there. While some members talk about...

  • Designing beaded jewelry: Playing with beads and stitches

    I’m still playing around with ideas for a herringbone/St. Petersburg chain combination. I’ve moved past the sketching phase, and onto my next step: playing with beads. I’ve gotten into the habit of stitching little swatches of beads to try things out –– a creative technique that I learned from Beth Stone...

  • Designing beaded jewelry: How do you get started?

    I’ve been thinking a lot about jewelry design lately. Working with so many great designs here, I can’t help but be inspired to try making a project my way. Or I’ll get an idea from a technique that one designer uses, and I’ll start thinking about the creative possibilities of that stitch or technique...

  • Making rose petal beads

    Wild rose designed by Nancy Zellers I have a lot of shade in my yard, so all of my flowers are late bloomers. Right about now, my rose bush is starting to look a little sad. Having had such a short time to properly enjoy them (it’s rained a lot here this summer), I landed upon a great way to preserve...

  • Learning new beading techniques

    This week I’ve been learning to crochet with beads. As much as I love beading and knitting, I seem to be crochet impaired. There were so many things I had trouble figuring out. Where do I stick the needle? How do the beads sit in relation to each other? I had willing teachers to help me and plenty of...
