New tutorial: How I Add Thread
Okay, taxes are done so back to more important things... like beading :)
Over time, I've had a lot of beaders ask me, "How do you add thread?" so I finally wrote up a tutorial. It is called "How I Add Thread" because it is the way I was taught but other beaders may have different methods. This method works well for me, though. You can find the free tutorial at AroundTheBeadingTable.com, or just click on the photo below:

New pattern uploaded: Wildflower Bracelet
I just uploaded a new pattern to my Web site: Wildflower Bracelet, $4, also available at Bead-patterns.com. For those who prefer the larger 6mm bicone crystals, this bracelet is a twist on the hana-ami motif, using larger bicones for the center and smaller 3mm fire-polished beads to fill in the gaps around the edge between the seed beads and 4mm bicones.
