Between Threads and Time: Gerdan Beading Patterns to Weave Your Own Legacy

By Nataliia Horbenko

Between Threads and Time is a journey through beads - inspired by Ukrainian tradition and the quiet beauty of handmade jewelry.

Inside this book, you'll find 12 original gerdan patterns - traditional beaded necklaces created for loom weaving or square stitch techniques. Each design blends folk symbolism with a fresh artistic vision, offering a tribute to memory, resilience, and personal expression.

Please note: This book contains full-color beadwork patterns, but does not include beginner lessons or technique tutorials. It is intended for experienced beaders who are already familiar with loom or square stitch techniques.

Each pattern includes:
- A full-color bead chart
- Color-coded legends for Miyuki Delica and Preciosa beads
- Size references and row counts
- Symbolic and modern design elements to explore

These are not just patterns - they are woven stories. May every thread connect you to your craft, your roots, and your creative strength.

Two editions available:
To make these designs available to a wider audience, I've also released a Standard Edition of this book - printed in standard color with the same full collection of patterns.
You can explore both versions on my author page.

From the author:
I created this book to preserve a part of Ukrainian beading tradition through something both beautiful and practical. Every pattern was made with care and meaning. I hope they bring you the same quiet joy they brought me while creating them.
