Diana Dineva and her Maria Jewelry Set...

I've had this lovely piece (click on it) made for a while but couldn't get a good photo of it. It is a choker. This tutorial is Diana's Maria Jewelry Set and was in Perlen Poesie Magazine, 35 2018. Her Etsy shop is GariaBijouxHandMade. Takes a lot of beads, is quite repetitive, but what isn't in the beading world.

She does a lot with the arco par puca beads. The screen shots below (click) are taken from her Etsy shop...




This is her Agate Necklace, look hoe she did here with the arco bead, I love this one!!!

Monique de Boer...

This is her Perfect Balance Necklace piece and was in the Perlen Poesie 30 2016 magazine. I loved beading it, don't look at the drop too close, I didn't bead it very well.  Monique's tutorials can be found here.

More Sandflower Pendant...

Love this, and I love making them. This piece is created and designed by Apollinariya Koprivnik, aka Pika Polina Beads, and beaded my moi...



Edgar Lopez - Have you seen his beadwork?

Yes, this is long overdo.  There are so so many beautiful extravagant pieces of Edgar Lopez's jewelry he's world famous for, but these are some of my favorites found on his Facebook pages...







There's definitely no beadwork like his. I particularly love these earrings, he always uses very expensive high quality stones, beads, and crystals...


I love his earrings so much I wanted to replicate them using seed beads mostly. What do you think?


I just noticed he has tutorials on his Etsy shop, so off I go!

Have you taken an on-line class with your favorite...

beading teacher?

Just finished one of Apollinariya Koprivnik, online workshops. I think It was her first one. It was a success, for me any way. I don't like traveling and then sitting in a classroom all day and then barely getting anything accomplished. Also I can't see anything when everyone gathers around to watch the teacher do something in her hands, it's very hard to see unless you're one of the ones next to her. This on-line class is another great invention, there are plenty of video tutorials provided. You have access to the teacher for two weeks, you get up and bead whenever you want to continue where you left off.

 Hey, I finished a piece before the class was done!!!


She sells her beadwork and tutorials at her Etsy Shop.

After completing a few of her tutorials I did all right, but I never thought I could make something architecturally like her piece above. But I did and it turned out pretty good, I think. What do you think?


Now, if only I could take photographs like her.

The Storytelling Jeweller...

2017 was the year I found soooo many new and different innovative beaders. They have taken beading into a whole new level. Erika Sandor is one of those beaders who is also The Storytelling Jeweller. Besides knowing everything about beading her website will tell you everything about famous bead artists, her fabulous easy to read beading tutorials, beading materials, learning beading, selling beading, shopping for a special gift, event organizing, and even writing for a newspaper. She is a wealth of information. You can get hung up at her site for hours.
