Looking for inspiration? Perlen Poesie

If you are looking for an additional source of inspiration, you have to pay attention at the 2-year-old European bead magazine: Perlen Poesie. You are always supposed to read beading world news, you can learn beading techniques and of course take excellent instructions from international artists.


On December 10, 2010, the new issue of Perlen Poesie will be out! In that issue:

• Anna E. Draeger: A portrait of the popular artist and Swarovski Ambassador;

• Perlen Poesie visited seven bead artists from France;

• The workshops of the First Bead Art Fair on 20-21 August, 2011, in Hamburg, Germany;

• 16 wonderful projects from well-known bead designers: Anna Draeger, Zoya Gutina, Claudia Steens, Melissa Grakowsky, Peter Sewell, Sabine Lippert, Carol Dean Sharpe, Claudia Cattaneo, Birgit Bergemann and some more (yes, I'm in it, too!);

• And more, and more, and more!


The magazine is published in Germany by Beaders Best Verlag company, but everybody can subscribe it. If you live in the USA, you can directly or via Internet buy single issues of the magazine at the Beads by Blanche bead shop.

Beadwork, June/July 2009 Volume 12, Number 4

Description

The June/July 2009 issue of Beadwork is all about pattern. From a flower motif repeated to create the look of lace to an embroidered cuff with circles repeated to look like ripples of water, you’ll be sure to find a project that fits your style.

The Designers of the Year deliver once again—see four great projects from beading pros Jean Campbell, Marcia DeCoster, Jamie Hogsett, and Lisa Kan. Plus, you’ll love to try contributing editor Scarlett Lanson’s fun twist on spiral herringbone stitch.

Journey through Beadwork VI: The Beaded Book, a gallery of intricately stitched masterpieces inspired by literary works and crafted by our nineteen contest winners and top finishers. For more pattern-inspired projects that explore 13 beading techniques (right-angle weave, peyote stitch, herringbone stitch, and more), be sure to kick summer off with the latest issue of Beadwork.
