Tips for Creating Beaded Jewelry By Emily Faver
March, 2011
By Emily Faver
I enjoy a variety of artistic and arts and crafts pursuits including painting, drawing, and jewelry making. One of the most accessible and yet challenging forms of jewelry making is bead-based necklaces and bracelets. Anyone can string beads together and call the finished piece jewelry, but to make something that looks aesthetically pleasing takes skill, practice, patience, and technique.
While stringing beads is self explanatory, choosing beads that complement requires careful thought and a discerning eye. Visit a craft store to see what options are readily available to you, or shop online for a greater selection. The key is to take time to pick out bead, button, and dangle components that match your overall vision.
Memory wire offers one of the easiest and most professional-looking ways of putting together beaded jewelry. Made of steel-spring wire, memory wire retains its shape and is difficult to break, bend, or cut. After deciding an appropriate length of memory wire for your piece of jewelry, cut it using heavy-duty wire cutters. Cap one end either by bending the end in a loop or affixing memory-wire end cap. As memory wire requires great strength to bend, the latter technique may present the best solution. After you have strung your beads, cap the other end.
Due to their extreme durability and flexibility, spun and stranded stringing cables such as Tigertail also present an excellent choice for necklaces and bracelets. Tigertail is generally made of several micro-spun stainless steel wires that have been woven together and coated with nylon. Other types of stringing materials have specialized purposes: silk thread is traditional for pearls, bead thread for bead weaving, and leather for beads with large holes.
Remember when measuring wire or thread for a bracelet that the length needed is your wrist size, minus about an inch — the clasp provides that missing length. Much of the challenge in making beaded jewelry lies in correct crimping, retaining the beads position while allowing clasps to affix properly. I recommend studying books and online materials, and preferably taking a workshop or class for advanced techniques in this.

Gardens in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area, Emily Faver
April, 2011
by Emily Faver
As a resident of Addison, Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and an avid horticulturalist, I often enjoy visiting the region’s many public outdoor gardens. When not working as an Administrative Assistant, I like to spend my free time exploring Dallas’s many beautiful botanical gardens and arboretums.
One of the Dallas-Fort Worth area’s most popular horticultural sites, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden encompasses a 66-acre property in east Dallas near White Rock Lake. More than half a million visitors travel to the outdoor attraction each year, particularly during the spring for the Dallas Blooms festival when more than 400,000 bulbs and thousands of annuals and perennials cover the park in vibrant colors. Over 10 individual botanical gardens and arboretums exist on the property, including the Margaret Elisabeth Jonsson Color Garden, which contains more than 2,000 types of azaleas, and the Lay Ornamental Garden, which hundreds of colorful perennials and a distinct falling water curtain. Nestled within the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden exists several historic sites, including the DeGolyer Estate, a U.S. National Register of Historic Places landmark dating back to the 1930s. Read more at www.dallasarboretum.org.
Other botanical gems are elsewhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth region exist, among them the Texas Discovery Gardens in downtown Dallas’ Fair Park. This 7.5-acre site includes 10 uniquely themed areas, such as a butterfly habitat, a scent garden, and an heirloom garden. The Gardens’ Benny J. Simpson Texas Native Plant Collection comprises more than 345 different plants created by lifelong local horticulturist Benny Simpson, while the Faerie Blanton Kilgore Rose Garden includes a diverse assortment of fragrant roses and perennials.
