3D Bead Embroidered Jewelry Boxes and Sculpture Tutorials by TheSparklyEngineer
Beadwork is not just about making jewelry. You can make all kinds of decor items too! I've written about beaded boxes before (see links below). But Florida based Shannon of TheSparklyEngineer is a whiz because she uses bead embroidery instead which is accomplished on a foundation.
She is adept at making 3D bead embroidered structures such as jewelry boxes, pyramids, obelisks and spheres. These are my favorites from her tutorial collection.

Pretty Beaded Jewelry Tutorials by PeyoteBeadArt
When I first contacted Florida based Sylvie Camps of PeyoteBeadArt, she thought her work was not a good fit for my blog. Her reasoning? She can no longer update her collection with fresh patterns because she can no longer bead due to her poor eyesight and uncooperative hands.
But that really does not matter. Her collection is indeed worthy as the designs shows of her beading skills and creative talents. She also understands what beaders need to know - whether particular designs are suitable for their skill levels. Sylvie does not say but I suspect she has taught in the past.
