Do you know who Sabine Lippert is?


Well, she's a funny beader from Germany. She travels the world to teach her beautiful creations.  I was fortunate to take one of her classes here in San Diego.

www.trytobead.com is her web site, and trytobead is the name of her business. She is the author of at least two books.

She is known for making tiny intricate pieces in each of her projects. I don't know how she thinks of them. Above is her Dragon's Cross pendant...

I bought her tutorial for this one. It was fun and easy to make, and my cross (see below) came out so strong and hard, you'd think it was metal. I LOVE it!!! It's so sturdy, I just love holding it.


I also bought her Dimensional Lace bracelet tutorial...


and below is my oh so unprofessional photo of the one I just finished...


I loved it sooo much I had to make earrings to match...
