The Beading Gem

I really like bead embroidery because the possibilities are endless.  I especially like the tutorials by Canadian Dene artist , Breanna Dei, s not just because she teaches well but her designs have a contemporary style. They are captivating.

Shown here is one of my favorites - a cheerful sunflower earrings tutorial. It's easy enough for beginners. You can see more tutorials on her Youtube. She lists her supplies and suppliers here on her website. 

The Opening Ceremonies of the Paris Olympics is scheduled for this Friday. But as far as Olympic team uniform designs are concerned, Mongolia has already won gold on the internet. Their exquisitely designed attire for Friday's event stands out for style and superb workmanship so unlike other "sporty" looks from other countries.
