Gorgeous pattern!
I have never beaded before. I saw these fish and I needed to learn how to make them!
The pattern looks approachable and the pictures help but I do wish there was a video tutorial to go with it especially with it advertised for all skill levels!
Really great and easy to follow. Once I had watch a YouTube tutorial on the odd count peyote stitch it was smooth going!
Very well done, easy to understand!
This is such a well written and clear pattern! All the steps are described and illustrated so neatly and thoroughly, not once was I confused when making a fish! The techniques are illustrated and described so well too, a beginner like me had no trouble understanding exactly what to do! There was literally no moments of confusion that weren't immediately cleared up by the instructions, I could cry over how delightful that is!
FAQs
Is this bead crochet?
No, it's not bead crochet. My designs are made using a mix of different bead weaving techniques like peyote, circular beading, and brick stitch and sometimes even a few of my own methods.
Each pattern includes step-by-step illustrated instructions so you can easily follow along and recreate the piece.
Do you provide video tutorials with the patterns?
Not for now, all my patterns come as PDFs with detailed step-by-step illustrations. They’re designed to be as clear and easy to follow as possible.
I may add video tutorials in the future, but for now, the written instructions include close-up diagrams and visual guides for every step.
What beads do you use?
I mostly work with Miyuki Seed Beads (not Delicas), usually in transparent or luster finishes. These beads have a beautiful light reflection and a soft shine that make each piece sparkle just right ✨
Other brands like Toho also work great, as long as the seed beads are very uniform in size and shape.
What thread do you use?
I use Miyuki 330 dtex 100% nylon thread.
Here are a few great alternatives I also like:
- KO (made by Miyuki) or One-G (by Toho)
- Nymo
- FireLine or DuraThread
Whatever you choose, make sure the thread is thin enough to pass through your beads several times and strong enough not to fray easily.
Can I sell the creations I make with your patterns?
Yes, absolutely, you can sell the finished pieces you make using my patterns.
All I ask is that you don’t resell, redistribute, or share the patterns themselves (including screenshots or copies), and please credit the design to me if someone asks where it’s from.
