Welcome to Bead Cruise 2014

As we set sail on our next amazing Bead Cruise adventure I want to welcome you aboard! This booklet was created as a starting point for your beady adventure. In the pages you’ll find projects featuring beads from past and current sponsors and resources for all your bead needs.

The gift bag items have been generously donated by the spon-sors featured in this booklet. After the cruise take some time to visit their websites. Our sponsors would love to hear from you. If you make something with their product snap a photo and share it with them! For an easy online reference visit the sponsor page on the Bead Cruise website.

Have a wonderful cruise!Heather Powers

Patina�and�painting�on�metal�is�a�fun�way�to�transform�your�metal�findings�and�focals.�There�are�several�color�systems�on�the�market�–�here�are�my�insider�tips�for�using�the�four�most�popular�products.

All�the�coloring�systems�have�a�few�things�in�common.�Try�layering�and�mixing�colors�for�a�customized�palette.�After�the�paints�dry,�use�a�fine�grit�sandpaper�to�reveal�the�metal�layer�under�the�paint.�All�of�the�colorants�need�to�be�sealed.�My�preferred�sealant�is�the�Matte�Sealant�by�Swellegant.�

Gilder’s Paste – This is a waxed based coloring medium and is probably the easiest� to�use.�Simply�brush�or�wipe�a� thin� layer�of� the�colored�paste�onto�metal.�It�works�with�any�finish�of�metal,�so�pre-treatment�isn’t�necessary.�Let�the�paste�set�overnight�and�then�seal.�Thin�with�paint�thinner�for�transparent�washes.
