Now readers will get the best of both worlds without having to make a choice between two magazines - Step by Step Beads magazine is being merged into Beadwork magazine!

PLUS, on top of doubling the value you receive, starting with the February/March 2010 issue, here are the exciting new features you can expect in every issue of Beadwork!
  • Stitch Pro: A starting place for beginners that teaches a common stitch, while offering beaders of all levels an in-depth exploration of the stitch. Discover tips from editors, other well known designers, and readers.
  • Simply Seeds: A spotlighted project 100% made with seed beads, from clasp to the body of the project.
  • Bead Artist: Expanded to include profiles of both bead artisans and beadweaving artists.
  • Project ratings: A graphic that rates a project’s required time commitment level on a 1-to-3 scale.

Please be advised that Step by Step Beads magazine will cease publication after the Jan/Feb 2010 issue. Current subscribers can look forward to receiving Beadwork magazine for the remainder of their subscription. If you already have a subscription to Beadwork magazine your current subscription will be extended. If you have any questions or concerns please contact our customer service center at (800) 448-0865 for further assistance.

These earrings coordinate with the Treasures of Atlantis necklace, the winning entry in our 2009 Semiprecious Stone Challenge, on page 24 of the September–October issue of Step by Step Beads. Clusters of freshwater gray pearls and gemstones (labradorite and hematite) add movement to simple dangles.
