We are celebrating spike beads and have scoured the bead shops to find you suppliers of spikes big and small! You can see them all in our special feature. We're excited to introduce several new designers this issue, one of whom is a very talented designer from America! Laura Andrews has a passion for beads and brings you one of her unique wirework projects; you can try your hand at her Shimmering Swirls Necklace, which uses an ordinary hair comb as the jig! Plus there's polymer clay, lampwork, advanced beadweaving, stringing and more!
