The tutorial by Jimmy Boatright was in the Bead
& Button Magazine from February 2017.
It is easy to follow the pattern but the mentioned
amount for the main colour is not correct.
My little bead-place
Welcome to my blog. I have been beading for ten years and there is still a lot to do. I began with crocheting but now I use other techniques too. 32 years ago I joined the "Club of Seamans's-Wives" and we have lived on the Costa Blanca in Spain for 22 years. I have taught beading for 9 years and also work as a translator/interpreter.

Constellation Pendant
By Cathy Andrews, you can find the tutorial in Beadwork-Magazine
December 2017. My ladies here call it a “Fish”, for me it is more a medal.
The pendant is now waiting for its crochet rope.

Rose of Sharon
This brooch was also designed for the world tour.
It is made in Herringbone-technique, which needs a bit of patience but during those days at sea, time was not a problem.

Set "Aroha"
Finally, it is
time to follow up on my last cruise.
I had the opportunity
to accompany the “AIDAcara“ on a part of its world tour. My part brought me from
San Antonio in Chile over the Easter Island, Tahiti, Bora Bora and New Zeeland to
Sydney. If you take a look at the route, you will see, that we passed a lot of time
at sea.
Therefore, I
prepared a lot of projects, some needing a lot of time like the “Double Oglala”.
One of the special
projects is the set “Aroha“. The name is a word of the Maori and means “Love“.
Because we were
travelling shortly before Christmas, I thought, that something sparkling was
the right idea. So, I bezeled Rivolis of different sizes with peanut-beads.
Sadly, my design
was not as liked as I thought. They liked the earrings and the chain of the
necklace but not the pendant.

Petite Couronne Pendant
It doesn’t happen
very often now, but when I opened the last issue of Beadwork-Magazine and saw this
pendant, I knew, I had to bead it.
Once again
it’s a brilliant pattern by Alice Coelho.
