Six Million Stitches Project An international group passing on to the next generation their love of many forms of needlework,weaving and beadwork.In memory of the holocaust victims and Rita Lenkin Hawkins, the project's originator. http://6millionstitches.clicksitebuilder.com
Extractions: Home Mission Statement: This project is about a worldwide group of people,women and men, Jewish and non-Jewish, using the Internet to come together and share our love of needlework to" commemorate and honor those people who were part of the atrocities (survivors as well as victims) of the Holocaust as well as those people who risked their lives to save other lives in that period of history." We were brought together by the warmth, vision and enthusiasm of "Rita Needle", the late Rita Lenkin Hawkins, who sadly did not live to see the project completed. She inspired all to initiate and pursue this project, even though it was initially presented as "impossible". It is our intention to complete this project as our tribute to this remarkable woman. Dedication: These projects are dedicated to the memory of the six million jewish victims of the Holocaust, the survivors,those who saved lives at the risk of their own and this project's originator, Rita Lenkin Hawkins, the one and only "Rita Needle". (L'Chaim,to life!) When Rita died, many of us experienced a new kind of grief. Even though many of us never met, spoke with or saw Rita, we felt a terrible emptiness upon learning of her untimely death. All of us wanted to complete this project even more, for now we were remembering the six million and the one and only "Rita Needle".
RozWorks | Beadwork beadwork by Roz Stendahl. (Perhaps it is no coincidence that her adult beadworkgrew out of her need to slow down and recuperate after a car accident. http://www.rozworks.com/bead.html
Extractions: For Roz, beading offers a form of active meditation. Her designs come after considering the item's use, the projected user, or the energy she is trying to convey. Her amulet bags all have a start in her desire to create tangible metaphors for healing energy. (Perhaps it is no coincidence that her adult beadwork grew out of her need to slow down and recuperate after a car accident.) Her choices in beads, stitching technique, and colors support the theme she selects. She begins with a thumbnail sketch and notes about bead and color choices, but once the weaving has begun she allows the piece to lead her in new directions.

How To Create A Beaded Bezel Cabochon A beginnerto-intermediate seed bead project written by Ann Brodrick. http://beadwork.joust.net/BeadedBezelCabochon.html
Extractions: Sharp scissors This variation on the tubular peyote technique creates a beaded bezel that will not only hold a cabochon securely but also will add beauty to whatever type of cab you choose: stone, glass or porcelain. The piece can then be embellished with fringe or accent beads and turned into a pin or necklace. Or as an alternative, you can apply the cabochon directly to a leather pouch or jacket, choosing colors that will highlight your central piece. To make this piece, knowledge of the tubular peyote technique is necessary. STEP 1.

Next My Gallery This bag was made following a pattern in the book "Dancing Light" by Suzanne Cooper Although not a very good picture, I made this stocking from a very old cross stitch magazine that I had. It was originally a pattern for a Christmas ornament. I'm sorry I do not have the book any more so I can credit the designer. I have saved many patterns over the years, that I removed from magazines to save space. If anyone recognizes it and knows who designed it, please let me know. This choker was inspired by a crystal choker that I found ina book called "Sadie Starr Presents Beading with Seed Beads, Gem Stones & Cabochons. This is the very first book on beading that I ever bought. This book is a must have for a bead library. Before I purchased this book, everything I made was free hand. I figured out how to do some of the stitches from finished beadwork that I found or purchased. It wasn't until 1993 that the town I lived in, in Montana had a bead shop. I got most of my beads through mail order until that time.
Encyclopedia Of North American Indians - - Beads And Beadwork By the twentieth century beadwork using glass beads had become one of the William C. Orchard, Beads and beadwork of the American Indians (New York http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/naind/html/na_003400_beadsandbead.ht
Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Maps ... World Civilizations Encyclopedia of North American Indians The oldest bead made by American Indians is of bone. It was recovered from a Folsom site near Midland, Texas, and is 10,900 years old. The second-oldest bead is made of oil shale, is 10,100 years old, and was found at a site in Colorado. Both are very small. The bone bead measures 1.6 mm; the shale bead is even smaller. The bone bead is as finely made as the best hishe beads (disk-shaped shell beads with a single hole in the middle) created by contemporary Indian bead makers using modern equipment. Because both of these examples are so small and well made, it is reasonable to assume that bead manufacture was already an ancient art one hundred centuries ago. Beads have been recovered archaeologically from every area of North America, and they were made from a wide variety of natural materials. By the fifteenth century these included shells, stones, precious and semiprecious gemstones, horn, teeth, ivory, fired clay, gold, silver, copper, pearls, seeds, wood, fruit pits, tree sap, vegetal fibers, and porcupine quills. Because Europeans had traded manufactured glass beads with great success in Africa and the Far East, it is not surprising that beads were among the items Columbus carried to the Americas on his first voyages. Caribbean native peoples traded locally made items for the glass beads, representative samples of which have subsequently been found in archaeological sites. Glass beads became staple items in the stock of trade materials carried everywhere in the Americas, in part because of their light weight, but also because they were popular and profitable.
