Thank you!

Heather Collin,Me and Gerlinde Fromont - at the Craft Show - we signed a lot of books today... and we enjoyed it. I am sure we'll do this again! Thanks to all the ladies and gentlemen who bought the book today, and the positive feedback. Much appreciated by us. Thanks to Michelle, her mom and Lisa, who worked so hard behind the scenes and today at the show too. Thanks to our dear friends that came to support us. And dear Dawn - thank you for the muffin, I needed it. On our way back home, we missed the turn-off to the free way, and had to manage our way through Johannesburg - where soccer fever were very high, but we made it safely back.

Must tell you something interesting that we also saw - a traditional beader that wore her beautiful traditional jewellery, even her clothing were traditional - adorned with beads - all made with the Pondo stitch - and believe it or not - the tubular bracelet that we admired had animal skin inside to keep the round shape in tact.She also bought the book!Well, enough said for today - I am so tired, but so happy.

Here it is!

Here it is, I am so thrilled - my project is on the front page! The Tamaryn Bracelet and the small picture on the left is my Queen Ring. The other two projects is the gorgeous creations of Gerlinde and Heather.

inspiration
for
this
Cover project

Herringbone bracelet embellished with
glass flowers
Extremely popular piece, I still

get feedback from the readers.

Pearls

My first encounter with the BeadBook came when I
won a competition and
one of my prizes were a free two year
subscription of the magazine. The editor
Christa van Rooyen wanted me to do a
bracelet with pearls for them. Needless
to say, this had been one of my most

popular designs I ever did. When I design
and write a pattern, I try to write a
project that can be completed by all
skill levels.
