Kerrie Slade ~ Contemporary Beadwork

Ever since my designs first started appearing in various beading magazines in 2008, people all over the world have been contacting me with either compliments or queries (or both!) and some have kindly sent me pictures of their finished work using my patterns. I love to receive feedback on my work and designs and so I have set up this page to show pictures of readers' work.

I am planning to make this an ongoing thing - so if you have a picture of your work that is based on one of my patterns published in Bead, Bead&Button, Beadwork or Beading Daily (or anywhere else!) - then please send me a picture via mail@kerrieslade.co.uk along with your name (and blog/website address if applicable), and I will gladly add it to this gallery!

If you wish to purchase one of the patterns shown below, simply click on the title of the project and a new window will open with a link to either the actual project or a back issue of the relevant magazine. Please note, this is not a complete catalogue of my published designs, a full list can be found here .
