Hi Lorna, I actually have a store on Etsy where I sell both patterns (for more advanced beaders who already know the techniques) and instructions (for folks who prefer a step-by-step layout of projects). I can add the Blue Fire project as an instruction file to download if you like, but it will take me a few weeks. I am on vacation right now and will only get back in town after the 26th, then I need a few days to get the instructions together. Please take a look at the store and let me know if the timing is okay for you and I'll add the download.

Brilliant tutorial. I'm quite a big fan of bead jewelry, and I've wanted to make my own for a very very long time. This has been very helpful and I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I'm glad they're useful, and netting is fun - it's a faster technique than Peyote...

It definitely seems a lot easier...

This is SO going to help me... The one time I tried Peyote, I tried plain stripes, but I screwed it up so bad that I got unpredictable zig-zags...

I'm glad you're not giving up. You have a very sure hand at beadmaking, and I'm convinced you will get onto Peyote in no time whatsoever!

Haha, if I can face the fear of failure...

Thanks for posting how you make your bead work. I think everyone can appreciate all of the time and effort that goes into a single one of your pieces

Thank you very much! It felt so odd going outside every now and then to take pictures of an unfinished piece, but I'd be very glad if it was helpful for folks.

Great breakdown, Elly. If I had the time I'd probably give this a try.

Thank you! I am glad to hear it seems reasonable to follow. But yes, some time would certainly be required.

Elly...what kind of string do you use for your peyote beading? I'm so paranoid of it breaking somewhere, and everything coming apart in my hands
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I use two types: for my delicate wing-bracelets I use invisible yarn or nylon thread, that you can pick up in sewing supply stores. It will rip if you really, really yank on it, but I have had few pieces come apart over many years and it seems to be a good trade-off between stability and delicateness.
For pieces that need a bit more resistance like strung projects I use a thin variety of a fishing line called "Fireline". It is neutral grey and does not show. You could use it for stitching Delica beads, too, but I think for 15 seed beads it would be a bit too thick to fit through the small holes more than once or twice. However, you could dangle a 20 pound salmon off a bracelet stitched with it and it would hold. LOL!
I know I'm a bit unusual, as most beaders I've worked with use beading silk (available at bead stores), which I find a pain in the ass: it frays unless you keep waxing it, you can inadvertedly stitch through it and mess things up, and you have to always color coordinate because it shows. (It is a bit more stable than the invisible yarn, I have to admit.)
Hope this helps a little.

Thank you very much! Some folks wanted to see how the bracelets are made, so I finally got round to document one as a WIP.

LOL! I'm sure you'll do great!

i'm still a bit of a beginner, so it may be a while before I can do anything like this

Thank you! And you are very welcome.

WOW!! This is really great! Not only did you show me how you did it but I was able to get a closer view of your project. For example, In the starting picture I see a clowns face with it's hair on fire. Crazy, maybe, but I love how it changed into another view at the end. You are a great asset to DA!

LOL! I like that. Someone else spotted a dragon, another person a mask... Thanks so much for your comment.
