Popular Crafts Magazine Issue 4 Beadwork & Jewellery There’s nothing like jewellery to brighten up an outfit or treat yourself or a friend, & when it is handmade it is so personal too. It makes great gifts & you can never have too many pieces! We have a great value issue for you- 37 projects over 100 pages, exploring a vast array of different jewels for you to make with different techniques. Learn about silver clay with our masterclass on page 10, or venture into resin on page 72. There are several bead shows coming up to indulge your passion, though of course you could be enticed to try & make your own from polymer clay in our project on page 77, or inspired by lampwork artist Caroline Cash on page 63. It’s amazing how many materials beads are made from & the shapes & designs they have- it’s not difficult to see why they have a collectable appeal & why we can never get enough!
