Leslie Frazier is coming to teach at Kandra's Beads!

Hi everyone!

Well the title of this post says it all really doesn't it?  We are very pleased to announce that international bead artist and teacher Leslie Frazier will be teaching a one day class at Kandra's Beads on Sunday August the 19th 2012 from 10 am until 4 pm.  Leslie will be teaching her popular Pinch Bead Pizzazz Pendant Necklace, Pinch Bead Spheres and Cathedral Window Beads which will give you the option of recreating the beautiful pieces shown below or incorporating these versatile little beaded beads into your own designs.

Places will be limited and this is only a one day event, so be sure to keep a close eye on the classes and events page where full details will be announced, or use the contact form to reserve a place.

Twinkling Tilas!

Hi everyone!

I am pleased to tell you that throughout the coming year, Kandra will be teaching my projects in her store!  The classes will be sponsored by the store which means that you don't pay for Kandra's teaching time, you simply purchase the pattern and whatever beads you choose for your project.  The majority of my patterns are priced at just $10 and the store carries a wide range of very reasonably priced materials, so this is obviously a great offer.  The first class is my Twinkling Tilas project and it will be on Saturday February 4th 2012 from 10am until 2pm.  Places are limited and so you will need to reserve a place by going to the  Classes and Events page, clicking on the shopping basket next to Twinkling Tilas and completing the form or alternatively contact the store.  This is a beginner to intermediate level class and the project is very versatile as the individual components can be made into a simple but stylish pair of earrings, or you can keep on beading and turn them into a single row bracelet or choker or make even more and create this elegant double cuff style bracelet.

Don't forget that Kandra sells CD's of my patterns in her store and by mail order, or if you would prefer a PDF of one of my patterns to be emailed to you, you can buy them directly from my website where you can also read all the details of each pattern.

As always, if you have any queries please either contact Kandra or myself.

Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone!

As 2011 comes to a close, Kandra and I would like to thank everyone for supporting the new store and for following the website and blog.  Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, we would both like to wish you a happy holiday season and health and happiness for 2012.  We hope that you will continue to stay with us throughout 2012 as we have some very exciting things planned for the coming months!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!


Kandra and Kerrie

Ever Bloomin' Cuff!

We are still trying to catch up on the blog with all the exciting events that have recently been taking place at Kandra's Beads as the new store gets established.  A couple of weeks ago C. R. Radding taught a class for her stunning wirework project 'Ever Bloomin' Cuff'.  From the pictures below it looks like the students had a lot of fun and went away with some beautiful everlasting gardens to adorn their wrists!

There's always something going on at Kandra's store and there are some great plans in the pipeline - from trunk shows to classes on the basics of a beading technique or some more challenging project workshops which will be taught by a line-up of national and international teachers.  So make sure you keep a beady eye on the 'Classes and Events' page of Kandra's website!
