I know many of you are accomplished beadweavers. So if you are up to the challenge of making complex beaded Christmas ornaments, Crystalstargems is the place to go for amazing designs! The British designer behind Crystalstargems is Tracey Lorraine.
One clue to her British roots is her design for a typical British Christmas pudding! Tracey also wanted to let people know that " I live in the 'original' Washington in the United Kingdom!" In case the time zone confuses and results in unexpected delayed responses from her!
Many of her outstanding designs are for advanced beaders as they are highly structured and layered. She also has other beaded jewelry tutorials.

I am so thrilled to see Tracey featured on your blog. Her patterns are absolutely breathtaking! She has a Facebook page that has videos of some of the ornaments that she (and others) have made so you get to see them all the way around and let me tell you, the flat one sided pictures don't do them justice. I have made 3 of her ornaments and working one another one. Her patterns are so well written and she has pictures of EVERY SINGLE STEP that even an advanced beginner can tackle these very intricate designs. She is very prompt about answering her emails and is very willing to help if do manage to get stuck. I just can't say enough positive about this wonderful designer and her patterns.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine what it takes to make up the pattern and write a tutorial! Fantastic!
