Maria Rypan Kits & Books!

Maria Rypan brings the magic of Ukrainian Gerdany beadwork to the western world. These patterns are based on traditional beadwork styles. Simple and clear patterns are easy to follow, and include instructions, beads, needles and thread — everything you need except the scissors! Click on an image for a larger picture.

One of our customers says: The netted collars are a result of a few hours (in each case) with my copy of Maria Rypans netted mesh collars (Vol. 1). I love, love, love her book and want them all!!! The directions are incredibly easy to follow and I love how she has set the book up with a coloured photo of three different styles, followed by the directions for how to do each of the three. They look daunting, but honest to goodness, they are really simple to put together and they go together fast, something most excellent for me, the instant gratification junkie! ;) Try one! Youll be amazed not only with the results, but the satisfaction that goes along with it.
