Some of you may have have noticed the recent introduction of Loom patterns to ThreadABead. If you are a Loomer and are enjoying these patterns, Joy Wofford is the lady to thank!! Joy sent me a lovely email requesting some Loom patterns. Not being a loomer myself Joy gave me a great deal of information about Loom work to assist me in designing some patterns up! She also mailed me this lovely snowman bracelet she created from my first set of ThreadABead loom patterns. Instead of using Delicas she used Miyuki Seed beads. I have never used Seed Beads before, but after seeing how they work up in a bracelet I am very motivated to try some of them out on ThreadABead patterns, they are much better on the bank balance! Thanks Joy!!!!

We are now the proud owners of a clock that has been passed down the family for generations. I thought the key for it looked a little plain so I used left over beads and thread to jazz it up a bit! I haven't created any instructions for this - but if enough people ask me I will write it up!

The Beaders brooch has been mounted on a square brooch fitting from threadabead. This really catches the sunlight. I think a blue or pink background would look nice too!

Tiny Valentine Amulet is just big enough to fit a cent or penny. Mine has a shiny penny in for the year 2008, what year will you put in yours? This would be a fantastic valentine present and you can even put a love note inside!

Kay has also amalgamated the "Gardening Bracelet" and "Gardening Tools Bracelet" to make a lovely bracelet! Its always lovely to see Thread A Bead patterns that have been modified to suit the beader. Thank you Kay for the lovely photos!

Here are some more bracelet designs by Kay Graham, Her Christmas one is very sparkly and festive, but I love the idea of the panels on her quilt bracelet, one of which is from "Three Quilt Patterns". Its a great way to put lots of different designs onto one bracelet and looks very effective!

This lovely piece is by a talented beader, Jan Sparks. This bracelet is based on my pattern "Pansy Bracelet". I love the way she has coloured each pansy in a different blue/purple colour. It really makes the pansys realistic!! The clasp she has used is really pretty and seems to fit the bracelet design very well.

I brought this large silver shell charm off a market stall a while ago. Whatever had once been inside it was missing with just a metal tag with holes in it left. The mermaid earring bead pattern was just the right size to fit in. I added pearl beads to the bottom of the mermaid and a small tassel to the loop of the shell.

I have had this little Santa for over a year and until the Christmas decorations were unpacked this year I had completely forgotten about him! I replaced the bobble of his hat in the pattern with a tiny bell and adding a decorated large loop so he could be hung on the tree.

I was asked to bead the bollywood lady for my mother to give to a special friend. I simply squared off the bottom of the pattern and added some fringe-work.

This is a great way of making a quick gift, attach one earring to a mobile phone charm. Half the work of earrings, and still a special present to give!

Here is a little teddy bear showing off the piggy brooch. I simply made one of the piggy earrings, coated it in clear nail varnish and glued it to a brooch fitting.

I had already made the Boozy Santa matchbox cover so I thought I would mix things up a bit and have a green Santa! I don't think it looks better than the original - but it didn't turn out too bad. My father now owns this piece!

I had this little book lying around and I thought why not add a piece of beadwork to it! I changed the colours of the emerald lady to match the colour of the book.
