With the more than 30 original projects featured in Beaded Jewelry with Found Objects, and the inspiration to create more, readers are able to match designer jewelry--reflective of their impeccable taste--with each outfit they own! Professional designer and self-proclaimed 'Beadaholic, ' Carole Rodgers enthusiastically shares a striking new approach to the age-old hobby of beading--transforming easily obtainable household objects into distinctive, one-of-a-kind wearable jewelry designs. Using items that can be found in hardware stores, fishing tackle stores, flea markets, glass items, game pieces, cabochons, and other natural objects, readers of all skill levels will be beading gifts as individual as themselves. Projects, such as the Amethyst Crystal Necklace--made with a pie-shaped slice of amethyst crystal on a chain of amethyst and lavender seed beads, are photographed and accompanied by clear instructions. Basic skills, such as stitches, making neck straps and fringes, and beading around the objects used in the projects, are also explained with detailed, step-by-step instructions.

Seed Bead Jewelry: 7 Projects

Off-loom bead weaving - Off-loom bead weaving is a family of beadwork techniques in which beads (typically seed beads) are woven together into a fabric. Bead weaving on a loom is different enough that it is specifically excluded.

Captive bead - A captive bead ring (CBR) (also ball closure ring or less frequently captive ball ring) is a common example of body piercing jewelry.

Bead weaving on a loom - Seed beads can be woven into fabric on a loom. The beads are locked in between the warp threads by the woof (weft) threads.

Barbell (piercing) - Barbell style piercing jewelry is composed of a straight bar and with a bead on each end, one or both beads unscrew for removal and/or changing of the beads. Often one of the beads is fixed, either via epoxy or welding, so that only one bead is used to install or remove the jewelry.

Abrin can kill with a circulating amount of less than 3 mcg (micrograms). The third of the bean with the hilum (attachment scar) is black, while the rest is bright red, suggesting a ladybug. One molecule of abrin will inactivate up to 1,500 ribosomes per second. It consists of two protein chains: A and B. The B chain is abrin's "ticket" into the cell. Once inside the cell, the A chain goes to work. It is an enzyme which denatures rRNA by removing a specific amino acid from its place (the 26S position on the rRNA chain), making protein synthesis impossible. The seed is highly poisonous but is unlikely to harm if swallowed raw and unbroken, as the seeds for beadwork. Symptoms are identical to those of ricin, except that the fatal dose of ricin is approximately 75 times seed bead jewelry.
