I'm so excited.....

I'm so excited about a series of BRAND NEW workshops that we are bringing to The Beading Room.

Manda Kent Burns from The Jacobeadery will be joining us and sharing her knowledge and expertise about bead embroidery.

Full day workshops are just £35 and include all tuition, instructions and materials. Although we do not provide your lunch, the price does include refreshments during the day AND you'll get a 10% discount off any of the beads that Halfpenney's has to offer.

The four workshops listed so far are shown below and you can get more details from www.virtual.halfpenney.co.uk

Places are strictly limited so book yours now.

A Muse Ink patterns - price update

Despite an increase in US freight charge and a lower exchange rate, we have decided to keep the price of all patterns at £13.95 until our price review at the end of April.

Bead pack prices will also be reviewed at the end of April.

We have our full range back in stock, so get your order in soon and take advantage of the current prices.

New kits for 2016

There were 3 objectives for my new kit designs.  Firstly - and promised for a little while - a kit to demystify our range of A Muse Ink patterns. Secondly, more necklace kits. Finally, a redesign of our popular Ripple Bracelet so that it can be worked with the Miyuki beads that we now stock. All kits are now available on the Bead Kits page of the website.

So, my Butterfly Brooch Kit explains odd count peyote stitch and shaping, with full step-by-step instructions and diagrams. It includes how to add a cover over the brooch pin to make a neat back. You will soon be confident enough to work with a just peyote chart, using the acetate overlays, as provided with the A Muse Ink range.

Butterfly Brooch Kit £13.50

 

Here are the 2 necklace kits, both based on Right Angle Weave (RAW). The Triple Drop Necklace pattern explains how to make little drops from flat RAW, whereas the Beaded Bead Necklace pattern explains how to make a tube from flat RAW and how to embellish it, as well as how to make a Cubic RAW rope for the necklace itself.

Triple Drop Necklace and Earrings Kit £12.50

Beaded Bead Necklace and Bracelet Kit £16.50

The revised Ripple Bracelet is available in 3 gorgeous colours.

Ripple Bracelet Kit - Aubergine £11.50
