A Conversation on Ukrainian-Style Beadwork with Maria Rypan

We just got this notice from maria Rypan - A fellow Toronto Bead Society member and customer of ours. Very exciting Maria - And a big congratulations!

BEADWORK, Oct/Nov 2009, vol. 12, #6 issue should be out on the newsstand as subscribers have just received their magazines.

An interview about “Gerdany, Past to Present” is on pgs. 60-62 and is illustrated with some of my photos from my “Contemporary Beadwork in Ukraine” Powerpoint. This is followed by my beadwork project “Scythian Gold”, an embellished triple ‘V’ with a diamond-shaped opening.

See the magazine spread in a video taken Aug 23^rd at my booth at Bead Fest in Philly.

Karen Ferrante of CreativeJewelryMaking.com filmed a brief interview about the featured article and my beadwork kits, patterns and books. To see the video, CLICK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67Cx9zb_KDo
