L'Chaim,to life! When Rita died, many of us experienced a new kind of grief.

This article was 1st published in the October 1998 issue of Lapidary Journal in the Jewelry Journal section. Beaded Bezel Cabochon by Ann Brodrick Beginner-to-intermediate seed bead project. TOOLBOX Malachite Cabochon, any size round or oval Scrap of soft leather large enough to put cabochon on and still hold comfortably in your hands while you work Tube of bronze matte Delica seed beads Tube of dark cream matte Delica seed beads Size 11 sharp leather needle Beading thread Glue Sharp scissors This variation on the tubular peyote technique creates a beaded bezel that will not only hold a cabochon securely but also will add beauty to whatever type of cab you choose: stone, glass or porcelain. The piece can then be embellished with fringe or accent beads and turned into a pin or necklace. Or as an alternative, you can apply the cabochon directly to a leather pouch or jacket, choosing colors that will highlight your central piece. To make this piece, knowledge of the tubular peyote technique is necessary. STEP 1.

Spice Container First Prize Winner Spertus Judaica Prize More spice ... in beadwork " On a recent visit to the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, I noted several sculptural ceremonial objects made entirely of beadwork, specifically a Hanukah lamp of Czechoslovakian crystal beads and an etrog container of seed beeds embroidered onto a perforated cardboard container. This seemed the precedent in my own heritage that I needed to join the current beadwork renaissance in the secular craft community, and has inspired me to develop a series of Jewish ceremonial objects in beadwork, a series which is in progress at this time." "Miriam's Vessel" is a recent addition to the Passover table. It commemorates the role of Miriam in the story of Exodus and, by extension, the role of other courageous women in the struggle for freedom. "When I stand on a sandy beach contemplating the overwhelming power of the sea before me, I often think of Miriam, the first female prophet, who surely may have had similar emotions as she led the women of Israel to freedom. In my "Miriam's Vessel," I have attempted to suggest the power of the Biblical waters that symbolize Miriam's life: she is shown with her timbrel at the Sea of Reeds; her well spouts water which breaks into droplets that feed the earth; and her baby brother, Moses, rests in his basket amidst the bulrushes on the banks of the Nile."
