Here are the simple steps to create a large (about 3-4 inches square) beaded spider. The beads used are for the spider shown. The size of beads can be adjusted to fit the size of spider you want to create. These are fun to create! Step One: Find a large bead for the spider body and a slightly smaller one for the head. Here I'm using a 16mm round bead for the body and a 10mm round bead for the head. I also added a 3mm Swarvoski crystal and a crystal rondelle spacer to the back of the body to just add a little more sparkle. You could also add bead caps and a rondelle in the center of the spider if you desired. Place the beads on a flat head pin and twist the end down like a little coil with a pair of jeweler pliers or needle-nose pliers (use the very tip). Step Two: Cut 4 long pieces of wire, about 7 inches long each. Use wire that can easily bend and twist. I use from 24-28 gauge and different colors depending on the spider color. Fold the four wires in the middle, creating eight legs. Step Three: Place the wires between the head and body beads and twist them in the under side. Thinner wire can be twisted once, but thicker wire will only be able to be "pointed" in the opposite direction...without any actual twists. That is the case with this spider, here is what the wire looks like at the underside of the spider. Step Four: Plan your beads for the legs. Always start with seed beads because the legs will begin by hugging the body and need to have small beads to start. Add larger beads or combination of beads to mimic "joints" in the legs, there will be two of these areas. Then end with seed beads and bugle beads for long slender portions of the legs. For this spider I've used this sequence of beads for front/back legs: 5 seed beads pink, 4mm flat round pink, 6 mm round ivory pearl, 4mm flat round pink, seed bead, bugle bead, seed bead, 5mm rice bead, seed bead, bugle bead, seed bead, bugle bead, seed bead, bugle bead, seed bead, seed bead. The center legs have one less bugle bead and seed bead than the front and back legs..this is optional as all eight legs could be the same. Step Five: Place the beads on the wire. Cut the end of the wire until you have about 1" of extra wire left. Twist the end like a spiral until it touches the last seed bead placed. Repeat this to complete all eight legs. Step Six. The spider is finished. You can play around with the placement of legs until you have a realistic pose. I start by pulling all eight legs straight up and putting the spider body flat on the table with the top facing up. Then I bring the middle legs down bending at the "joints" and having the legs at a straight angle out from the body. The front and back legs are done in a similiar manner but are pointed towards the front and back instead of the side. (Note: This spider would hang from it's "head" because that is the coil end of the head pin...if you wanted it to hang down from it's "tail" the head pin would start at the head and be coiled at the tail instead.) Here is how the spider looks underneath when finished. So, go find some beads...and wire...and one flat head pin (or use a piece of wire and coil both and head/tail ends)...and create a beaded spider. Have some fun!

A kit I bought from Japan.
Delicate necklace inspired by snowflakes. It was made by hand using the tatting lace method. Necklace shine in every move because of beads and sparkling metallic thread. Burgundy shade of color is perfect for little black dress or to emphasize the color of gown. Necklace is tied with ribbon. Necklace length is 32 centimeters. The tatting lace is an extremely precise and labor-intensive technique. It consists of thousands knots tied manually using a shuttle. For many years I have been specializing in this technique. I choose the highest quality threads and beads so that my jewelry was not only beautiful and properly composed, but also durable and pleasant to wear. I pack my jewelry in a decorative box.

Here is a FREE demo on how to create these adorable beaded starfish! There was a pretty simplistic pattern for a beaded starfish in a bead magazine a couple years ago that Chou and I fell in love with, so we decided to re-do it and jazz things up a little. (By the way, this is a great way to use up extra seed beads that you just have small amounts of left over from bigger projects!) Materials needed: Approx. 2 yards of 8lb Fireline. (35) size 6 seed beads (30) size 8 seed beads (1) flexible beading needle (Big Eyes work!) String (5) 6's onto your threaded needle. Bring them down towards the end of your Fireline. Tie the seed beads into a circle using a square knot (right over left, left over right) or two. Make sure that it is secure by pulling on the beads. If your knot slips, tie another one on top of it! Add an 8 to your needle. Take the needle through the 6 that is next to your knot. Pull the Fireline so that the 8 snugs down in between two 6's. Continue to add 8's in this manner until you've put them in between all of the 6's. When you are adding the last 8 in the circle, take your needle through the next 6 in the row, AND go up through the very first 8 that you added. Add two 6's to your needle and pass through the next 8 in the row. (This step should remind you of peyote stitch, but we are actually setting up for some herringbone.) Pull the Fireline tight so that your newly added 6's lay against your work like this. If they aren't laying like the picture, you might need to nudge them into place with your finger. Continue to add two 6's in between each 8 all the way around the circle. When you are passing through the last 8, also pass through the first 6 that you added in this last step. Add two 6's and take the needle down through the next 6 in the row. Also pass down through the 8. Pass up through the next 6 in the row. Add two 6's and continue down through the next 6 and 8, then back up the 6. Continue this until you have completed the circle. Once you've completed the circle go up through the first 6 that you added in the last row. Add two 6's and go down through the next 6 like you did in the last step. Continue down through the next 6, the 8, then back up the two 6's. Continue this until you have completed the circle. Once you have completed the circle and your Fireline is coming out of the 8 at the bottom, take your needle up through the three 6's. Add two 8's. Take the needle down through the three 6's and the 8. Continue this until you have completed the circle. When you've completed the last step ending with your Fireline exiting the 8 in the middle of the starfish, take the needle up through the next three 6's and the 8 added in the last step. Add one 8 and take your needle down through the next 8 in the row and down through the next three 6's and then the 8. Double check your work against the picture. The 8's that you are adding in this step should make the point of the starfish arm. Continue like this until you have completed all five of the arms. Make sure that your Fireline is exiting the 8 in the middle of the starfish. Add one 8 and take the needle through the next 8 in the middle of the starfish. Pull the Fireline tight so that your newly added 8 sits in the middle of the two 8's. It will actually be resting in the middle of three 6's that were added at the beginning of the project. Add another 8 and go through the next 8 in the row. Continue this all the way around the circle until you have five 8's added on top of the starfish. When you have taken the needle through the last 8 on the starfish, go up through the next 6 in the row. Add one 8 then take the needle through the next 6 in the row. Then go down the 8 in the middle of the starfish. Take the needle up through the next 6 in the row. Add one 8 then go down towards the middle of the starfish through the next 6 and 8 in the row. Continue this step until you have added all five of the 8's around the circle. Reinforce if you feel the need and then knot the tail end onto the starfish next to one of the 8's in the middle. The last step is... make more! They make great charms, pendants, or better yet, RINGS! Cocktail rings are HUGE this summer and the more HUGE, the better! Make a tubular peyote ring and stitch one of your cute starfish onto the band. How adorable!
