This Flower Petal Ornament Cover is probably one of the quickest beaded cover you’ll ever make. When it lays flat, it is shaped like a flower, each petal falling over the bulb when you place it over it.
While this doesn’t incorporate in particular beadweaving stitch, it is still a good beginner’s project if you want […]
If you’ve ever done brick stitch before, then you remember how it will automatically become the shape of a triangle unless you increase or decrease the stitch. Let the brick stitch do it’s thing when you make these fun Brick Tree Ornaments.
These actually work up pretty quickly, especially if you use some fairly good sized […]

I made this ribbon amulet necklace a few years ago and sold it through a gallery. I always wondered if the person who bought it enjoyed wearing it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Before I became a jewelry designer, I sewed a lot, thanks to a college roommate who showed me the ropes, so […]
I love these milky looking lampwork beads adorned with flowers created by D.D. Hess. I’m still mulling over what I’m going to make with them. Right now, I’m thinking a really long necklace, maybe about 40 inches so you can double it, and include white pearls and crystals or glass seed beads in colors to match […]
