Want to challenge yourself with some 3D peyote beadwork? Then check out French designer, Marca Smit of DiMarcaOnline's tutorials. I featured her work before, specifically her "kaleidocycles" and bangles. The kaleidocycles are fun fidget gadgets and the bangles are most unusual.
She also has a vast number of 3D peyote stars, balls and pods with many themes. Her latest is the Christmas Fantasy Collection. Christmas may just have passed but you now have a whole year to bead away and get ready for the next one!
Marca also sells inserts for the stars and balls among other things.
2 lucky winners of this giveaway will be offered a single tutorial each.

I'm on her email list but I don't think I realized what the kaleidocycles did. Those are neat. (And a good way to use up some delicas.)
