From the
Editor...
WELCOME to Issue 9 of Digital Beading Magazine...
as you can see, I’ve traded my beaded kitty ears for a wire tiara - one
of the gothic-themed pieces included in Lisa Jimenez’s project special
(starts on Page 112). To make my tiara - go straight to Page 122.
One of my absolute favourite projects in this
issue is our cover girl and Preciosa Ornela
ambassador Kerrie Slade’s Rose Window
Rivolis earrings - these are just divine! In silver and gold colourways, you can’t go wrong
- these earrings are simply stunning.

Another standout project in this issue is
Caron Reid’s Poppy Loomed Cuff - this
beautiful loomed design features a gorgeous
lampwork glass poppy and beaded stem - so
eye-catching!
UK beaded jewellery designer Lynn Davy’s
“Wave Cuff” is another beautiful tutorial in
this issue - worked in five different shades of
blue, this wave-inspired cuff certainly makes
a splash.
We have a few project specials in this issue on Page 112 you’ll find Lisa Jimenez’s Gothic
Jewellery Special - featuring 10 fabulously dark designs - and on Page 72
Lisa has created a four-project spePretty
cial embracing the Edwardian era.
Deb Mahoney of Aussie Maille is
back with the second instalment in
her six-part tutorial special - in this
issue she teaches Byzantine, European
4-in-1 and Double Spiral weaves.
