After the exciting news a couple of days ago, about an additional Big Bead Show, I actually have some more news I can finally reveal- in 2010 there will be even more of Bead to love!
We are increasing the amount of times we're published from 6 times a year to 8- this means we get to have an extra 2 issues in which to bring you the best of the Uks beaders, bead makers and projects.
The first extra issue will appear in April and will have the theme of "Colour"
In addition to lots of articles on using colour, with tips from all of your favourite designers, there will be some specially commissioned projects which show you the best way to use colour in all aspects of your work.
I'm especially pleased about this as I have been busy working on my own personal Colour Challenge and hope I can let you know more about what I have learnt.
My project for this issue will be one that's a huge favourite of mine and one that I'm working on at the moment. It's a herringbone rope with an ingenious (if I do say so myself!) hidden clasp so that any part of it can be worn at the front.
It's a great project for playing around with colour and as I'm working with reds at the moment I plan to bead three different variations all in red- check back soon to see how I get on- and also to find out more about our second extra issue!
