Just finished beading some of my Christmas beadworks, one of which is this little one inch tall 3D Santa Claus Charm which I will hang on my bag this Christmas season!
I made it using triangle weave beading technique which is one of the deviation from right angle weave technique.
Here's the free tutorial just finished at: http://beadjewelrymaking.com/2009/project/november.html

Many years ago there was a fragrant flower that rose every spring to display her beautiful petals and bright colors for all the world’s creatures to enjoy. The people and animals waited anxiously each spring for this special flower to appear. On that day they knew the warm, kind rays of summer had arrived. Raven saw how much joy this flower brought to the world, so the next spring when it appeared, he transformed it into a tiny bird. The bird had the colors of the green spring grass and the flashing red of a setting sun. Raven gave the bird a special gift to fly like sunlight flickering through tall trees. He also gave it a message to take to all the flowers. That’s why today we see Hummingbird buzzing from flower to flower, whispering a message. Hummingbird is thanking each flower for making our world a more beautiful place.
According to Native legends, the hummingbird is the joyful messenger and healer. When the hummingbird appears in a time of great sorrow and pain, healing will soon follow. It is said that when a hummingbird hovers near, you will receive a message of healing. Wearing hummingbird jewelry will make you feel happy and peaceful. Many people will compliment you on your handmade jewelry so here is a story about why the hummingbird holds a special place in our hearts.
Our hummingbird jewelry is inspired by the beauty of wildlife, animals and nature. Each piece is carefully designed and handcrafted especially for you. Hummingbird jewelry by the artisans of copperreflections.com provide handmade jewelry, wholesale jewelry and handcrafted jewelry suitable for any gift giving occasion including birthday gifts, anniversary gifts and Christmas gifts.

Hi all,
I'm already beading ahead for Halloween and also just completed this 3D Beaded Halloween Witch Charm Tutorial to share.
I made this witch charm last Halloween but just managed to find time to draw out the tutorial now.
I have hung it on my phone, bag and pouch as a charm.
It is basicly created with the right angle weave beading technique but combines a little knowledge on jewelry making as you will need to know how to curl eyepins to put the piece together.
Here's the free tutorial link: http://beadjewelrymaking.com/2009/project/september.html

Thanks for looking!
]]>I've recently decided to separate my blog on jewelry craft from this one at blogspot
http://lovemejewelry.blogspot.com
just to make things easier.
Just a reminder my "sales" page is at
I do find it interesting that I've got more custom orders through private messages than through etsy.
Shows that people do prefer something special for themselves.
