Visitors to our Web site can now download our new online project, a nifty friction-fit pendant by Julie Glasser. The sides of this sweet little pendant slide out so that you can swap out your favorite beads.

The pendant as pictured here is holding some enameled silver beads, but Glasser often replaces them with some peyote-stitched tube beads. If you'd like to make your own peyote-stitch beads ... well, the editors of Art Jewelry can't really help with that, as peyote stitch isn't really our subject matter. Luckily, we're right down the hall from people who know all about it, the staffers of our sister publication, Bead&Button. When I appealed to them, they provided a handy link to a project on their site — also by Glasser — that will teach you how to make the beads themselves.

Enjoy!
