For Avalon

This book is dedicated to my lovely daughter, Avalon, who once again gave up her summer fun so Mom could work on a new book. Thank you for your invaluable help keeping mommy organized and for being my part-time model and design assistant. You will never know just how much it means to me to have such a delightful, funny, smart and talented young muse to make my studio sunny even on the darkest of days. I hope that in some small way I've inspired you to dream big and dare to make those dreams real. I love you more than words can say.

With Gratitude

To my ever patient husband, Drew, I say thank you yet again for supporting my efforts to do the impossible.

Thank you to the folks from Beadalon for your ongoing and ever-appreciated support. Thank you to Homer, Joe and Ronda of HHH Enterprises for everything you do to make the world and my world a better place. Thank you to Steve and the gang from ArtBeads for your gracious support, the team from Auntie's Beads for supporting another of my books, Dave, Russ, Amy and Bill from Rings n Things for getting my request out so efficiently and quickly and to Heather of The Beadin' Path for the absolutely delicious sampling of vintage plastic beads. Thank you to Iliana of Blue Moon Beads for the inspirational samples! Thanks to the folks from Plaid for the fabulous Plaid components. Thanks to Beads World and Phoenix Beads for your support.

To everyone who has supported me online and in the real world thank you! I have some of the coolest fans on the planet and I am so thrilled to offer you some fresh inspiration.

About the Author

Impatient, imperfect and impetuous, Margot Potter is a design expert for the rest of us. She's also an author, freelance writer, consultant, public speaker, actor, vocalist and TV Host who creates innovative designs for major manufacturers and magazines, has written five popular humorous how-to books and teaches popular seminars and classes at stores and major craft and jewelry industry events. She's a member of the Beadalon Design Team, a Ranger Ink certified instructor and an ambassador for Create Your Style with CRYSTALLIZED_ Swarovski Elements. She approaches everything with her signature sense of humor, boundless curiosity and copious amounts of joie de vivre because she feels that if it's not fun, it's simply not worth doing. She invites people not only to think outside of the box, but to tear it up, repurpose it into something fabulous and stand on it to reach for the stars. She's equally comfortable at the writer's desk, in the design studio, onstage or in front of the camera.

About the Contributors

I cannot thank enough the immensely talented designers who agreed to be involved in this book on such short notice, and for the depth and breadth their creations have added to this effort. We are nothing without our friends, and I am a woman deeply blessed with some truly amazing friends.

Introduction

The dilemma for the beader attempting to reproduce a design in a book catalog - photo 4

The dilemma for the beader attempting to reproduce a design in a book, catalog or magazine is that finding the exact beads used can be well-nigh impossible. Quite literally, there are millions upon millions of beads from which to choose. So what to do if something catches your eye, but you just can't seem to find that one bead? Or what if you like the idea, but you're not sold on the materials? Well, my dear, fret not!

You can move beyond the monkey see, monkey do mind-set and trust your design instincts. You don't have to follow the beader; you can borrow their compass and forge your own creative path. Find designs that delight your eye and tickle your fancy, and make them your own. You can do it and I will show you how.
