I really like Tina Holden's shop name, Beadcomber. Great pun. Fitting too as Tina lives in Claoquot on Stubbs Island in British Columbia, Canada. She clearly gets some of her inspiration from Nature - her tag line is West Coast Inspired Sun and Beach Jewelry.
Beadcomber is full of her eclectic mix of tutorial designs, molds and silk-screens. She has some rather lovely batik shimmer tutorials and some novel ones like faux ceramic, faux gemstone and so on. One lucky winner will receive Tina's $20 gift certificate prize. But all readers are being offered a generous 50% OFF DISCOUNT FOR HER TUTORIALS only (use BEADCOMBER50) - must be used by June 10, 2019 as it expires then.
My absolute favorite among her many tutorials has to be her clever aquarium pendant tutorial shown below which contain moving sands or beads!
Tina says, "I've been creating and designing with polymer clay for many years, developing techniques and continually experimenting to bring new ideas to you." You can see more on her Facebook profile and Page.
I love how some of her flexible mold designs includes beach/ocean themes!
Tina also has an extensive selection of silk screens!
