passing through Hit the Road Summer is finally in full swing! For me, summer means more time spent travelling. Long road trips give me hours of quiet beading time, with a much-needed break from email and phone calls while my husband drives and my kids are snuggled in their car seats. Here are my top tips for beading on the road: 1) Learn a technique. If you’re too busy to organize beads for an entire project, grab just the essentials and focus on learning a new technique instead. Have you heard of PRAW? Give this hot new technique, also known as prismatic right-angle weave, a try with Cindy Holsclaw on page 18. 2) Think ahead. Weeks before your trip, pick a favorite project from this issue’s summery collection and buy all the beads you need in advance. And don’t forget your needles and thread! (Believe me, I’ve done this, and you’ll only forget them once!) What could be more convenient than a kit? See pages 60, 64, and 70 (and below) for this issue’s kit offerings. 3) Keep it simple. Limit yourself to a small handful of colors and shapes and be surprised by what you can create when you’re not overwhelmed by all the choices in your stash. Our May Artist of the Month, Marcia DeCoster, loves beading in her Airstream for this very reason. Learn more about Marcia’s travels in a fun video at www.bit.ly/beading-on-the-road and see page 30 for Marcia’s latest video workshops. Happy beading, no matter where your travels take you this summer!

w.o.r.d. WHAT OUR READERS DID

I MADE THE PRIMROSE PATH BRACELET AND WANTED A NECKLACE TO WEAR WITH IT, SO I MADE THREE CUSTOMIZED SUPERNOVA COMPONENTS AND THEN PATTERNED THE CHAIN AFTER THE PRIMROSE PATH BRACELET.

ONCE I FINISHED ONE FLOWER PENDANT, I REALIZED IT WAS VERY LONELY BY ITSELF, SO I EXPANDED THE COMPOSITION WITH OTHER FLOWERS AND LEAVES USING RIGHTANGLE WEAVE FOR ALL ELEMENTS.

EDITA KRICENAITE of Modena, Italy, created a necklace using Rachel Sim’s Narcis Pendant (Beadwork, June/July 2014) as focal components.

ELAINE DOTSON of Deadwood, Oregon, made a necklace featuring a customized version of Sue Charette-Hood’s Supernova component (Beadwork, April/May 2013) and a chain inspired by Jennifer and Susan Schwartzenberger’s Primrose Path Bracelet (Beadwork, February/March 2014).

I USED SIZE 11° SEED BEADS, DELICAS, AND ODD-COUNT FLAT PEYOTE STITCH TO MAKE 2" SQUARE PIECES OF BEADWORK FOR THE BANGLES.

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROJECT THAT I MADE FOR MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING. IT LOOKS GREAT IN ANY COLOR AND THE FLOWER COMPONENT WORKS WELL AS A BRACELET, RING, OR EARRINGS!

KAREN WILSON of Vineland, New Jersey, made lovely versions of Pamela Kearns’ Boho Bangle (Beadwork, June/July 2013).

CHRISTINE POLLHAUS of Duisburg, Germany, shares her version of Jayashree Paramesh’s Flower of India necklace (Beadwork, August/September 2012).
