Create delicate little works of art out of tiny shaped and round seed beads, and frame them with sturdy Tila beads! The Framed Art Blossoms Necklace features several rectangular beaded components that frame a custom collection of tiny flowers. A custom beaded strap joins the components together, and an additional beaded frame forms the clasp and completes the necklace. These frame components are also a great starting point for creating your own works of beaded art.
In this class, students will learn how to combine Tila beads, SuperDuo beads, and Japanese seed beads to create three different sizes of sturdy frames. Students will also learn how to create a collection of tiny flower blossoms out of their choice of tiny beads, including drop, Demi Round, Dragon Scale, O, and Tri beads.
You should be comfortable working in peyote and netting stitches, and with working with size 15° seed beads. Skill level: Intermediate

Cindy Holsclaw dabbled in crafts for longer than she can remember, but she’s always been most fond of geometric structures. After many years of exploring these mathematical forms in modular origami, in 2006 she learned that these structures could also be made with beads. From then on, she was hooked! In 2009 Cindy started writing patterns for her own beading designs, and in 2012 she dove into designing and teaching beadwork full-time.
With a background in academia and a doctorate in biochemistry, Cindy takes an analytical approach to her design style; she likes exploring different bead shapes and variations on the established beading techniques, and she’s constantly thinking of new ways to put beads together. Biochemistry and mathematics continue to inspire her and often show up in her finished work. As an educator, Cindy challenges her students to learn something new in every class, while giving them the tools they need through her very detailed beading patterns.
In 2015 Cindy was named Designer of the Year by Beadwork Magazine, and a series of her beading videos were published by Interweave in the same year. Cindy taught at the Bead & Button show for eight years, and currently teaches at national and international venues. When not on the road, Cindy makes her home in San Diego, California with her musician husband and daughter.
