Digital Beading Magazine Issue 8 - February 2014 | Page 2

From the
Editor...
WELCOME to Issue 8 of Digital Beading Magazine... we hope you
find lots of creative inspiration in this issue.
We’re embracing the approaching cooler months in this issue with lots
of lovely Autumn-themed projects.
And be sure to check out our Project Specials - everything from
Art Nouveau to retro Rockabilly!

Kelly Nealon, Editor

Our beautiful “cover girl” Safari Cuff by
Caron Reid represents all that’s good about
animal print - it’s chic and understated, while
still making an incredibly fashionable statement.
Another project we know you will adore in
this issue of Digital Beading Magazine is
Maryanne Villalba’s Shibori silk ribbon pendant - complete with a gorgeous Lisa Kan
glass flower centrepiece - on Page 112.
Shibori ribbon is just absolutely breathtaking (if you missed our interview with Shibori
dyeing master Glennis Dolce in Issue 7, make
sure you get the back issue by clicking here)
and is well worth adding to your beading
shopping list if you haven’t yet experienced
working with this delicious ribbon range.

to view Lisa’s beautiful Shibori range.
If your eye has been drawn to the

little guy has already done his job!
We fell in love with Karine Astoul’s
“Little French Owl Necklace”
project - a pretty Laura Mears owl
face cabochon framed beautifully in
metallic and denim blue seed bead tones.
