I went to a small juried art show a couple weeks ago and picked up a few things. Two of the things are small polished agate slabs in bright colors. I'm wondering if they're dyed. Are they dyed? How would you dye agate? I dunno. I'm just wondering. Have a great week! Don't hit your kids! TCBeads 248 726-1078

Using the same principle as celini stitch, you can add dimension to those little beaded triangles we're all crazy about just by incorporating different sizes of beads into the work. Used in this video: Seedbeads 11/0 Delicas, 11/0 rounds, 15/0 rounds, 8/0 rounds. 6lb Fireline Size 12 sharp beading needle. If anyone knows where I can learn how to do those super sculptural triangles, please let m...

I'm kinda in a hurry, but this is another pretty lil caged rivoli using all 11/0 rounds in two colors. Pretty easy! Hope you like the background music! (lol) TCBeads

So I received some mystery packages of beading supplies from some suppliers. No clue why. Kinda confusing. Kinda awesome. No note or explanation was included. Also, I ordered some things from Fusion and Aunties and have a couple complaints about the experience. Nothing major, just annoying. Have a great week! TCBeads 248 726 1078

Been having fun with my family. Hope to see you all soon! TCBeads

Make these tiny beaded spacers with 15/0 to give your stringing projects a little pop of color! Used in this demo: 8/0 round seed beads (because there was no way I was going to use 15/0s in this video!) 8lb Fireline Size 12 beading needle. TCBeads 248 726 1078

Should I be worried about this tiny chain slipping out of the opening of a jump ring? It seems to be closed up pretty well, but I'm still concerned. Also, in light of the horrific Orlando shooting, I'm sick of lunatics screwing up the lives of innocent people. Everyone knows who the crazies are in their circle. Keep an eye on them, would you, please? The world would be grateful. TC...

The heartbreak of bead segregation. Here it is 2016 and there's still some bead segregation going on. I'm here to tell you it isn't right or necessary! You CAN mix your beads in your weaving! It's fine! ;) This is a joke. It's only a joke. Don't take it too seriously, but seriously consider mixing your beads. TCBeads 248 726 1078 Call me if you wish to discuss this issue.

Just showing off. TCBeads 248 726 1078

Beaded forsythia flowers were made with size 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads. Four petals are incorporated into a ladder stitched base of 8 beads (11/0, rounds or Delicas. I used Delicas). Increase the length of the ladder stitched base for more petals if you wish. Also used: 4mm round bead Size 12 beading needle. 6lb Fireline. As always, thanks for watching! TCBeads 248-726-1078

Cool and gorgeous stuff from Dawn. Totally great stuff from FMG. (Thanks to Ruby for the heads up on that!) Not so great stuff from trauma. Like panic attacks. Like I can't even breath panic attacks over things I can't control. The stupidest most innocuous things seem to bring them on. I don't understand it. Blah! 248-726-1078 TCBeads

This video kinda sucks. I'm not happy with it at all, but you might glean something useful out of this attempt to show how I made a very simple, but elegant bracelet from a single small peyote stitched charm, tiny cable chain and simple findings. I'll put some patterns up for y'all to try on my facebook page shortly. They'll all work for this bracelet. Thanks for watching this awful video! lol ...

Just a refresher on how to do an odd count turn for peyote patterns that require them, which is most of them! Symmetry! Practice makes perfect! TCBeads 248 726 1078

I knew it was illegal to claim trademark protections that you don't actually have, but I didn't know the penalties for this kind of fraud were so heavy. Turns out the government considers it theft, and that makes sense. If Bead On It! has the protections they're claiming they have by using government marks on their labels, I wish they'd provide the evidence. I couldn't find any, yet they're thr...
