I wove this necktie using Japanese seed beads. It is crafted using the square stitch technique. The pattern is by Velena Beskrovnaya.

Hopefully this will put an end to all the scammers!!

This is my first time attempting a larger Brick stitch piece. I just started beading about a month ago. So it’s not perfect! But I enjoyed making it!

But now what? lol. What do I do with the finished piece? Too big for something like a necklace or earring.

Just need to glue the end caps, and she's done! It's almost the size of an American driver's license or credit card.

The design is an abstract of a leaf my husband helped me create. I built it in pieces, a front and back panel, the rope necklace, and sides. This was my second attempt. The first one was a failure but taught me what to do to improve.

Hey! I’ve made this puffin piece from a pattern from Carol Paris/bumblebead on Etsy! But she uses a oetal shaped bead i do not know how to source and so i wanted to make one out of my 11/0 TOHO treasure beads (as thats what i used for the piece)! Are anyone here knowledgeable enough to make up a pattern for a simple foot, ca 1,3 cm x1 cm? Or just how to build up a triangle shape with brick or peyote stitch :) thank you!!!

Pictures is also the foot i tried making but i don’t like it and i 100% can recreate it!

I am making this purse, attached is my inspo for the design. I have since removed the light blue and dark blue lines below the bulge beads. I disliked the contrast and did not want to continue wasting time. Please any suggestions for color, links to specific products ... Everything would be helpful! I do like the idea of swapping to round beads for the remainder of the "ocean". I am very loosely following the inspo pic, clearly 😂

Picked up the Clarence Chama pendant recently. Wanted to give it a deserving showcase rather than a simple sterling chain. Vintage 70s/80s apple coral graduated heshi, sea green yungai turquoise heshi, horn rondelles at all the breaks, 2 vintage squash blossoms, oxidized sterling crimp tubes, jump loop and swivel lobster 13mm. 3mm bright sterling bead at terminals. 49 strand wire. ❤️ the hue match between the pendant and coral heshi.
