Perlen Poesie 10
Dear Readers,
We are celebrating a “mini” anniversary: You are holding the
10th issue of “Perlen Poesie“ (Beading Poetry) in your hands!
We have come up with a few ideas for this event: You are
getting more projects than usual! For example, the designs
of three artists: Peter Sewell (England), Laurence Darbas
(France) and Claudia Cattaneo (Italy) for the Preciosa Bead
Project. Then, for the first time, something in soutache technique
– a bracelet by the Russian artist Evgenia Nabatova. And
bead crochet in a graphic design: “Ziggidizigzag“. Or a mix of
wire and stringing techniques: “Bouquet of Shiny Flowers“.
If you prefer embroidery, then you might like the gorgeous
necklace by Katharina Dietrich. Fiery sparks radiate from the
bracelets by Sabine Lippert (for Swarovski), Martina Nagele
and Vera Baumeister. But that’s not all: A table decoration,
earrings and a splendid “jeansy“ beginner piece in free stringing
are ready to be worked.
Are you dizzy yet from this huge selection? Then be careful:
We bring you spiral techniques in this issue – 10 different ones
– suiting our 10th anniversary!
And of course we are featuring several artists. Zoya Gutina
works with small beads and has earned herself a considerable
reputation. She creates lush necklaces full of flowers, leaves
and small twigs. But that’s not all: She is actively promoting a
worldwide “beading community”: She writes a monthly newsletter
in both English and Russian and advertises international
beading competitions. Read more about this exceptional
and very dedicated woman and make her necklace out of turquoise,
amber, fresh-water pearls and beads for yourself! The
passion for floral forms is also shared by Angela Brackrogge,
who creates her own beads. Her success justifies both: this
artist has become a “professional” in her own right. Let yourself
be inspired by the shapes and the subtle delicacy of the
colors used!
And, last but not least, we have moved from the beautiful little
world heritage city of Lübeck to the equally beautiful, cosmopolitan
port city of Hamburg. From here we will continue
to provide you with more “Perlen Poesie“! In “Imprint” you can
find our new address and other contact information.
And now, I wish you a lot of enjoyment with the “10th“ and joy
and success in all your beading activities!
Yours,
Andrea Ott
