“Creating is not only

a passion, I feel an

overwhelming urge

to create.”

— Debora Hodoyer

Inspiration can strike anytime, anywhere. For the two jewelry designers featured in this month’s B&B Extra, creative influence is all around them. The two women are both international designers: Debora Hodoyer hails from Italy and Puca from France.

Hodoyer tells us: “Creating is not only a passion, I feel an over-whelming urge to create. I listen to my inner self, and then I start beading, being relaxed and focused at the same time.” Hodoyer shares two projects with us, including her “Modern baroque bracelet,” p. 3, and “Floral ringlets bracelet,” p. 7. Puca has “always been a creative person,” she tells us, “but finds [her] greatest joy in beading.” Puca has a family-owned business, which produces an exclusive line of shaped beads, including the Arcos beads and the captivating cabs featured in her “Fairy-tale earrings” project, p. 10.

I hope these international artists spark your creativity as you enjoy beading!

How to pick up the baroque cabochon beads: With the textured side facing up, pick up the bead through the left hole. How to pick up the Amos beads: Pick up the bead through the tip hole. BASE1) On a comfortable length of thread, pick up a repeating pattern of a baroque cabochon bead, two O-beads, an Amos bead, an 80 seed bead, an Amos, and two O-beads twice. Leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail, sew through the beads again (not shown in the figure for clarity) to form a ring, and tie a square knot. Continue through the next cab (figure 1, a–b), and sew through the open hole of the same cab (b–c).2) Pick up an 80, a cab, and an 80, and sew through the same hole of the cab your thread is exiting (figure 2, a–b). Continue through the next 80 and cab (b–c), and sew through the open hole of the same cab (c–d). 3) Pick up two O-beads, an Amos, an 80, an Amos, two O-beads, a cab, two O-beads, an Amos, an 80, an Amos, and two O-beads, and sew through the same hole of the cab your thread is exiting to form a cab unit (figure 3,

a–b). Continue through the next eight beads to exit a cab (b–c), and sew through the open hole of the same cab (c–d). 4) Repeat steps 2–3 six times to make a total of eight cab units for a 7-in. (18 cm) bracelet including 3⁄4 in. (1.9 cm) for the clasp, and ending and adding thread as needed. Each cab unit measures ¾ in. (1.9 cm). Add or remove units to adjust the length as needed.

Backlit baroque cabs give this bracelet texture, and make it glow in the summer’s sunshine.materials

CLASP1) With your thread exiting the center 80 of the end flower component, pick up an 110, six 150s, and an 110, and sew through the 80 your thread exited at the start of this step to form a loop (figure 6, a–b). Retrace the thread path (not shown in the figure for clarity), and end the thread. 2) Attach 8 in. (20 cm) of thread to the other end of the beadwork with your thread exiting the end 80, and repeat step 1 for the other end of the bracelet. 3) Attach half of the clasp to a jump ring and an end loop on the bracelet.

Make a pair of enchanting earrings with bezeled cabs and Arcos beads.

How to pick up the Arcos beads: Sew through the end holes, entering from the inside edge (IE) or the outside edge (OE) as directed. BEZEL1) On 5 ft. (1.5 m) of thread, pick up 44 110 cylinder beads. Leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail, sew through the beads again to form a ring, and con-tinue through the next couple of beads. These beads will form the first two rounds as the next round is added.

note Use moderate (not tight) tension as you get the bezel started.

2) Using cylinders, work a round of tubular peyote stitch, stepping up at the end of the round

(figure 1, a–b).3) Work two rounds of tubular peyote using 150 seed beads (b–c), and sew through the beadwork to exit a cylinder in round 1. Flip the beadwork over, and place an 18 mm cabochon face up in the beadwork. 4) Work four rounds of tubular peyote using 150s with tight tension, stepping up at the end of each round (figure 2, a–b).

note Hold the cabochon in place when adding the four rounds of 150s. It may not stay in place until the third or fourth round.

Sew through the beadwork to exit a cylinder in round 2 (center round of cylinders) (figure 3,

a–b). End the tail.

EMBELLISHMENT1) Pick up an Arcos bead (OE), a 150, a 3 mm bicone crystal, and a 150, and sew through the open hole of the same Arcos (IE) (b–c). Repeat this stitch once more, skip the next cylinder in the same round your thread exited at the start of this step, and continue through the following cylinder in the same round, with your needle pointing toward the first Arcos added (c–d). Sew back through the adjacent Arcos, 150, bicone, 150, other hole of the same Arcos, and the next Arcos (d–e).2) Pick up an Arcos (IE) and seven 150s, and sew through the open hole of the same Arcos (OE) (figure 4, a–b). Repeat this stitch once more, and sew through the adjacent two Arcos (b–c).3) Pick up a 150 and a rose montée, making sure the top is facing up. Cross the opening diag-onally, and sew through the end hole of the next Arcos (figure 5, a–b). Pick up a 150, an Arcos (OE), two 150s, a tear drop, and two 150s, and sew through the other hole of the same Arcos (IE) (b–c).

Pick up a 150, and sew through the adjacent two Arcos, 150, bicone, 150, and the other hole of the same Arcos (IE) (d–e). Continue through the cylinder the Arcos is attached to, going in the same direc-tion so there is a thread exiting each side of the cylinder, and the next two cylinders to exit the following cylinder in the center round (e–f).4) Pick up a 150, and sew through the next cylinder in the same round (f–g). Repeat this stitch seven times (g–h).5) Pick up an Arcos (IE), three 150s, an 80 seed bead, and three 150s, and sew through the open hole of the same Arcos. Skip the next cylinder in the center round, and continue through the following cylinder in the same round (h–i). 6) Repeat step 4 (i–j), and end the thread.7) Open a 4 mm jump ring, and attach it to the loop of an ear wire and the 80 at the top of the earring.8) Make a second earring.
