Customer Gallery: Tagua Beaded Designs by Winner of April’s Jewelry Making Contest

InMyBasket's Tagua Bead Jewelry on Ecuadorian Hands site.


If you know me personally and/or a close friend of mine you're most likely aware that a stink can ruin my mood. I am very sensitive to smell. It can make or break my day. That's the reason why I often have air freshener inside my house, just to make sure that my house smells good all the time.


The same reason why I find working with Tagua beads such a JOY! It smells so sweet! The scent is actually very similar to coconut.  Do you know scent is like music too? It brings back memories. So, there I was beading Tagua with happy childhood memories playing on my mind.


For beaders , hobbyist, bead collectors or someone who's just curious on whats new on the "bead scene"? I highly recommend you check out the page for yourselves. I have enjoyed working with Tagua Beads myself. I hope you will experience Tagua soon too.


Cheers!

Pearl Bead Cuf f-Tutorial I wrote for craftbits.com

Shell Flower Bangle

I am very much into creating flowers using beads. Shell Flower Bangle is one of them. I have been making these for months now using different shells and semi precious stones. Some of these flowers are made into rings, pendants and of course! cuff bangle :)

Recently, Craftbits.com published my tutorial for Shell Flower Bangle . If you are interested to learn how to do this jewelry, just click the link below and it will lead you to Craftbit's tutorial page.

Tutorials I wrote in Collaboration with XQ Designs

I never really planned that I would be writing tutorials because I didn't know I could. Until XQ Designs approached me and asked If I could write for them.


I learned how to bead via online research. And that would mean me watching a lot of free tutorials available on You Tube among other beading sites. It's funny, because I must have watched a lot of videos that I have memorized some lines of my favorite tutors.  Whenever I do my own beading I would mimic the designers on how they explain techniques and the step by step procedure in making the jewelry. Yes, I mimic even the way they breathe. My son Jino would laugh so hard 'cos he thinks I'm funny. Well I thought that was funny too.:)


To date I have written 4 tutorials for 2 different  Beading sites.


Here's 3 of them.
