DiMarcaOnline is a Dutch small business is located in France and is run by Marca Smit. She not only designs kaleidocycles but also has a huge collection of peyote stars. Over 300 delectable patterns and counting!
She has some unusual patterns where she incorporates beaded images within the shape of the star. One of the most unusual has to be the fish star below!
Worth a browse if you are planning to make peyote stars as there are so many patterns to choose from.
The patterns assume you know peyote stitch. The level of difficulty is intermediate and up.
Marca explained how she got started :
We started another life around that time: moving from The Netherlands to France
to renovate a dilapidated farm into a touristic business. At that moment I realized
I didn’t have any hobbies. An American online friend had just started making
jewelry, mainly stringing and I quite liked what she did, I was inspired to do the
same.
I quickly found I preferred more complicated projects that would take me
some more time and discovered the world of seed beads. A love that is still very
strong. At that time it was quite difficult to find Miyuki or Toho beads in Europe,
so I decided to start my own bead shop."
