MORE special events at 1 Stop Bead Shop this weekend!

Hello Bead Friends!

Jeannette Cook showed up with 3x more stuff than we ever dreamed! She brought almost every design she makes.

• Some are kits - no worries about having to pick colors - the master picked them.


• Some are just patterns - no extra bead cost if you're not going to start them right away!


• There are only 23 Mastering the Curl kits left. She DOES NOT sell the patterns or kits on her website or in stores. Usually the ONLY place you can get them is at a large bead show she is participating in. She made an exception for her friends at 1 Stop. Many of you missed her class 18 months ago. Now you can own the kit. If you can do Peyote - you can do this design. If you can't do Peyote - we have a class for that! ;-)
  
  We can take phone orders and ship to our out-of-town customers for any of Jeannette's kits or patterns. Simply call the store!
  
  Jeannette's Trunk Show
  Today & Tomorrow - Fri & Sat ONLY!
  10:00 - 6:00 both days

  Our Preview Show Just Doubled!
  
  Not 1 but 2 of our vendors showed up yesterday and Robin & Lisa just couldn't resist all the great new products they were offering. So our Preview Show got even better.

In addition to:

We also have:

• "Sea Glass" round beads in a variety of colors. These glass beads are matted and have the look and feel of the coveted sea glass.

• A huge NEW selection of large hole beads suitable for Pandora, Troll, Chamilla & our PerlAmore bracelets. They include: plated silver beads with rhinestones, Cut glass translucent beads in a variety of colors, and new plated silver core beads in glass and polymer.

Classes will be limited to 16 students.

Enchanting Chain - Fri, Oct 16- 6:00 - 3 hrs - Level 2/3. We wanted to bring you a class that everyone could do. SOOOO many of you have taken RAW classes at 1 Stop, so you'll have no trouble taking what you know and learning how to insert it inside a piece of chain. Imagine the possibilities! NOTE: You will learn the SINGLE version of this class.

Tiles of Antoni Gaudi - Sat, Oct 17 - 10:00 - 6 hrs - Level 4. Learn the story behind the design while Jeannette takes you through the design elements. Another great chance to take an advanced level class and learn how to combine the Peyote & RAW stitches.

---------------
But WAIT there's more!
(I always wanted to say that - Hannah)

We went to a show last weekend and purchased some beautiful, exciting new beads for you!

We bought limited quantities of each, and I don't expect them to last the weekend.

Get here early for best selection!

1) Introducing Susan Bailey Polymer Clay beads. You have seen some of her beads before when we brought you some to see how you like them. Alive with the vibrant color combinations and designs of an experienced artist, these are some of the most beautiful polymer clay beads I've ever seen. And her prices are UNBELIEVABLE! She could charge 3x as much!

Susan had heard great things about our store from her guild member friends who have attended classes here. She contacted us before the show and asked us if we would like to carry her beads at 1 Stop. We are pleased to add her collection as another staple of 1 Stop Bead Shop.

2) Earthenwood Ceramic Pendants & Charms. Again, you've seen a few of these before, and based on your initial response we brought you a larger selection. Earthenwood's ceramic beads are hand-formed, hand-painted and glazed with a distinctive recognizable artistic flare. This time we are introducing 2 new design lines: 1) Stoneware Box Pendants - Each 1 is a hand-crafted 1 of a kind design combining ceramics, metals, and beads in a "shadow box" design. They are the type of interesting that makes you want to study them and take them all in. These WILL get noticed! 2) Steampunk Stones - I had to ask, "What is steampunk?" and of course Stephanie knew all about it. Steampunk had actually been around since the 80's but is major hot right now. Steampunk is most simplistically described as a style that embraces the feel of the Victorian age as it was meeting the industrial revolution, which a touch of fantasy. Themes like gears, locks, clocks, buckles, fans, propellors, rivets are make steampunk instantly recognizable - once you know what it is :-)

3) S&S Lapidary Cabochons - Time from some new cabs from our favorite stone cutter - Gerry Stinnet. Limited selection.

4) New Semi-precious strands - Robin only selected the most interesting new beads she could find and in limited quantities. They are stunning and unlike anything we've had recently if ever.

Classes Available at 1 Stop Bead Shop

We still have room in some classes next week.

PMC 1 - Sparkling Pendants & Earrings - Mon, Oct 19 - Precious Metal Clay is "moldable silver." Fine silver dust is mixed w/ a bonding agent, that when burned off, leaves you w/ pure silver. That means you can mold it into anything you like, fire it and you've MADE a piece of pure silver jewelry! Very cool!

Leafy Ndebele Twist- Mon, Oct 19- Learn how to purposefully make tubular Ndebele Herringbone twist and add leaves as you go along. Not thrilled w/ the spring colors or don't like flowers? No worries - choose your favorite colors and see Lisa's sample of her near-finished necklace done in this stitch - gorgeous! Pre-req: Tubular Ndebele experience.

Polymer Clay - Sparkling Spots Necklace - Tue, Oct 20 - Take a class from the President of the Central Ohio Polymer Clay Guild. Make a beautiful freeform pendant and learn a new way to get subtle touch of glitter for lightweight necklace that looks like glass.

Spotlight on Our Friends: Karen Maase at 1 Stop Bead Shop

Karen Maase works in our store and teaches for us. She writes:

I took Hannah [Rosner]’s Egyptian Collar class and created the piece on the bottom. I learned a number of techniques and actually have worn it. It remains in my personal collection.

Top– This is my first beaded collar and first foray into bead embroidery. I took the first class taught by Sherri Serafini at 1 stop a couple of years back and this is the result. I love the pearls and colors but at times I think I overdid the stones. Depends on my mood.

As a sidenote, Hannah Rosner will be teaching some new classes at 1 Stop bead Shop in December. Interested? Just check out the visiting artists section of our classes page on our website: http://www.1stopbeadshop.com

The Witches’ Spell
Act IV, Scene 1 from Macbeth (1606) by William Shakespeare
A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.
Enter the three Witches.
1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew’d.
2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin’d.
3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—’tis time! ’tis time!
1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go;
In the poison’d entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot!
ALL. Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon’s blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
