Designer Campbell acts as selector for 30 unusual beaded bag patterns, one in a series sponsored by the magazine. More than a dozen artists draw upon a variety of techniques, including knitting and crocheting, to produce purses in different design styles. There's a bead-decoupage plastic box, with decorations applied on top of special tape. Existing fabric purses are embellished with abstract art deco-like motifs or enhanced by highlighting existing patterns with beads for a three-dimensional impact.

Shapes open a world of possibilities for creating jewelry. Begin with the basic flat shapes: triangle, square, pentagon and hexagon, then move on to using these shapes in three-dimensional shapes such as a pyramid, cube, tetrahedron and more and open shapes like donuts. Patterns are also provided for ethnic jewelry such as the Tuareg Pendant and for natural motifs like the Trillium Necklace. The shapes are created with peyote stitch and cylinder beads with a thread and needle.
