New Intermediate/Advanced Level Peyote Stitch Tutorial at Good River Gallery

Temari Ball Bead Woven Pendant

Ladies of the early 17th century Japanese Imperial Court challenged each other to contests to determine whose embroidered Temari was the most intricate and opulent. Ball patterns developed one from another or were embroidered in the traditional Japanese Embroidery techniques.

Mine is made from seed beads, and also resembles an Ancient Islamic Folded Glass bead I recently found for sale.

The second photo (pink) is the pendant shown step-by step through photos and instructions.

Students need to have a working knowledge of peyote stitch in the round and be well versed in bead weaving. Students also need to know how to do even count flat peyote stitch and read a peyote graph. This instruction packet is for ADVANCED seed beaders.

Starting Price is $18.00. Only available on my Etsy

At some point, I think these might be headed towards a book...

Another New Tutorial at Good River Gallery!

I've had some requests for more beginning projects. This lovely bracelet or necklace uses a basic bead weaving stitch called "peyote."

This class is level 1.5 out of 5. That puts it at an Advanced Beginner class. If you can thread a needle and have done any seed beading beforehand, you'll be fine! The instructions teach basic peyote. Both the options for the necklace and the bracelet are included.

This is the instruction packet only. No beads are included. $15.00

Reworked Tutorial at Good River Gallery!

I have finally reworked my tutorial for the Arabian Nights Pendant!
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10126605

It was originally taught at 1 Stop Bead Shop, and although it has been up for sale for a while, I decided that it was time to give it a facelift. Just as a sidenote, I hadn't had any complaints regarding the directions before but just decided I wasn't pleased with it.

It now has a better primary photo, more step-by-step photos, diagrams, and (hopefully) fail-safe directions. This pendant does require that you know even, flat count peyote before you begin and is intended for intermediate to advanced seed bead weavers.
