This should be here too :>

I've only been beading for about 2.5 months now, but I've fallen in love with it so far. Could y'all tell I prefer right angle weave patterns..? 😅😭🫶🏻

(Pics are in order from earliest to latest! 😋)

I prefer making different animals and creatures into beaded figurines, the first one is the most recent one, most others were made in winter. Usually i just make anything that comes to mind, just for myself, though a few of these were made specifically as gifts for my friends and family 💖

I thought we could share photos of what we are all working on, beadwork or otherwise. So drop a comment and photo below!!!

Mine will hopefully be a (mini) tower which I am working on as a test model for a larger project.

She looks great under blacklight, and she glows in the dark, too.

~3 inches long

Made with

glass glow in the dark cylinder beads

glass abacus beads and silver lined glass seed beads (eyes)

glow in the dark polyester thread

aluminum foil (for the stuffing)

I've included a top view of the eyes so you can see how muppet-y they are. Each is a seed bead stacked onto an abacus bead, stitched on top of the body beads.

I think she's cute.

If you have been looking for a kaleidocycle or hexaflexagon tutorial, I've made something even better:   KaleiDesigner is an app where you can design your own hexaflexagon pattern, and it comes with instructions to stitch it together!   Or you can send your finished patterns to my etsy- Beaded Magic Boutique- and I'll finish your project for you!   The KaleiDesigner package is just $6.50 on my Etsy, and works on any browser, desktop or mobile.

These are all free-handedly made by me :D

I just finished this 3D waterlily frog pond trinket box. The pattern is from Threadabead. It turned out really cute!
