It's been a long time coming, and needed an entire website redesign to accommodate all the variations etc, but the instructions for my Beaded Frames, as well as 5 different kits, are now available.

This advanced project is one of my favourites as I love the way they highlight and frame whatever feature bead you place in them. I have made my kits with Swarovski pearls or Czech rondelles and there are 3 different colour schemes to choose from all of which use my favourite matte gold seed bead.

I have been working away on many projects behind the scenes and have lots more kits coming soon (including 5 different ones to accompany Geometric Beadwork Volume 2 which will be launched in my newsletter next month).

As I have finally realised I need to slow down somewhat I have decided to spend more time at home next year and not travel overseas to teach at all. This, I hope, will give me more time to be creative and explore some different beading ideas and projects. It will also hopefully mean I can get some of the kits, patterns and projects running around in my mind out into reality.
