I first featured Jordanian bead jewelry designer, Mary Jane (a pseudonym) of AlKhazneh, a few years ago. Her designs were inspired by the beautiful colors and patterns of the Middle East and of the rock formations of Petra. Petra is Jordan's most famous historic site - most of you will recognize it from the movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. You can read more about Petra in my previous post.
She shared some of her spectacular pictures which I have reposted here - the designer herself on horseback in the desert and those of Petra itself (see below).

I'm not sure why, but people seem to like tassel earrings a great deal. Perhaps it's the making of them which is the fun part. For me, it is that and also a large stash of embroidery floss just begging to be used.
Be sure to check the links below for past how to make tassel tutorials. Here are 3 more which show different styles and methods of construction. The first one is the beaded cap tassel earrings tutorial by @BeadictedGift007. She is better known as the creator behind her other beading Youtube channel, @SonysreeCreations.

Double Spiral Macrame Bracelet Tutorials Using Leather and Button Clasps
Instructors generally called this bi-colored macrame bracelet double spiraled.. But to me it is an awesome DNA inspired design! It's a great gift idea for someone scientifically inclined.
I chose these two tutorials because they both utilize leather and button clasps. The first one by MacrameSchool, features a leather core with the regular cords spiralling around it. See the video description for information on how much you need.

I first came across the work of South Carolinian metalsmith , Rebecca McGlothlen of BLUEskyBLACKbird when I was looking for shining examples of solar eclipse inspired jewelry. Her shop has many gorgeous hand stamped metal jewelry in different metals.
Rebecca offers designs in her unique style from small ones right up to statement pieces. If I had to pick a single favorite, it would be the dainty pearl earrings with three metal dots below. A great example of a minimalist style with the wow factor.

What does it take to be a good beadwork artist? Many things, me thinks. Experience in beadwork for one. A passion for the craft as well as an unerring sense of design, structure and colors. Lithuanian Lutita of LutitaPatterns fits the bill!
Some of my favorites include her rhombus brick stitch earring patterns which show off her wonderful way with colors and patterns. She also has adorable brick stitch animals especially several dog breeds.
