Leslie
Rogalski, editor of Beading Daily, wrote on
May 17, 2010 about six of her favorite projects as The
best of STEP BY STEP beads was launched. It included:
“Beadwork
traditions
Projects with history taught me about other cultures.
Maria Rypan is renowned for keeping alive the intricacies
of Ukrainian beading. In her regal Netted Diamonds collar,
she shares a very modern-looking motif that’s
actually been applied to beadwork for generations. Netting
is not hard to learn, I might add, with our step-by-step
directions!”

“Fan
Wheel Necklace” & “Scythian Gold”
by Maria Rypan.
Maria’s two projects were reprinted in BEADWORK
Presents: Favorite Bead Stitches. Interweave Press
LLC, 2010: 100-105.
The “Fan Wheel Necklace”
was inspired by contemporary beadwork seen at the Vernisage,
an art piazza in Lviv, Ukraine. The wheel is a circular
fan whose points are topped with crystals and whose
shape echoes through the wavy crystal-studded band.
It was published in Aug 2007.
The
“Scythian Gold” is a twist on contemporary
Ukrainian beadwork. The V-shaped netted collar features
an embellished diamond-shaped opening. The project’s
name relates to one of the original habitants of Ukraine,
the Scythians. It was just published in Aug 2009.

are they convenient (everything’s in the bag!),
but they go quickly (did I already finish the bag?),
and you can't wait to make another (where’s the
next bag?).”
