Written by Annie Scarborough: Charley Hughes, AKA BeadyBoop, is a well known author of widely distributed bead books and individual patterns. One of the most versatile designers in the bead world, she has designed patterns on many topics; holidays, mermaids, flowers, and particularly art deco patterns of great complexity and beauty. She often offers matching sets of fan shaped flat peyote necklaces or amulet bags, bracelets and earrings. Her colors are vivid and varied, her mood from whimsical to dramatic. Most designs are in round or flat peyote or brick stitch but she does offer some two-drop peyote and vertical netting, and a couple of nice tutorials.
