New patterns uploaded

I finally uploaded some new patterns!

Caroline's Cuff, $4.00, also available at Bead-Patterns.com.
This pattern is a variation of the Christmas present I made for my Mum-in-law so I named it after her. Although I used 3mm and 4mm fire-polished beads, you can use any type of 3mm or 4mm beads you wish (fire-polished, crystal, gemstone, pearl) as long as the bead size is 3mm and 4mm where called for.




Bistro Bracelet, $4.00, also available at Bead-Pattterns.com. It matches the Bistro Earrings & Pendant.

Sabine Lippert's Les Fleurs Necklace

I have to say, I just can't wait for Sabine Lippert's new book, Sabine Lippert's Beaded Fantasies: 30 Romantic Jewelry Projects (Beadweaving Master Class Series). Unfortunately, it won't be out til next May but publisher Larkcrafts.com has a free sneak preview and downloadable PDF of her Les Fleurs Necklace:


Just click within the text where is says "Click here to download a PDF of the project Les Fleurs Necklace from Sabine Lippert’s Beaded Fantasies" in the fourth paragraph. Not only do you get a PDF of the pattern but a full Table of Contents for the book and it is surely to be a wonderful treasure. What a beautful collection! You can find more of Sabine's patterns at her website, Trytobead.com.
