The metallic blue beads here represent the dog’s eyes. To create Row 2, thread the following through the left hand string: (1) black, (1) metallic blue, (1) tan, (1) metallic blue and (1) tan bead. Repeat steps 7-9 to create the right ear, except use (4) tan beads instead of black. Take the end of the left hand string and thread it back through the last (3) black beads.

To do this, string (4) black beads on the left hand string. You will now need to create the dog’s ears. Pull cords tight to form this row of your Dog Bead Pet. Take your right hand string and thread back through beads from the other end. To create Row 1, thread (1) black and (3) tan Pony Beads onto the left hand string.

To learn how to create a lark knot, click here. This will help when threading the beads.Ĭreate a lark knot on the key ring. Stiffen both ends by rolling it between your finger with a dab of craft glue. More blog posts shall follow in the following groupings: birds, misc mammals, bugs/butterflies, fantasy/mythical, and my bead spiders.Cut your Braiding Cord to 48 inches in length. That’s everything in the ocean/water theme. As this was a gift, this photo is all we shall have. I made this bead octopus along the lines of my many bead spiders (which will feature in a different post). If I ever get back into making bead animals, I will definitely be looking to design my own crab. I love this little crab, but he was very hard to make and then I somehow lost him. So the fault must be with my photo or color choice. For simplicity and style, I think this patterns wins. I’ve seen cooler seahorse bead animal patterns, but those patterns are also much more complex. Oddly enough, the only sea creature that I get no traffic for. I made it out of 12/0 hex seed beads instead of 11/0 beads. This angelfish is a favorite because it’s so shiny. I’ve since seen a beaded octopus that I liked much better, but it uses different sizes of beads and a weaving technique so it’s much more complex. Next Anja Freese’s book Lovable Beaded Creatures, which contains the patterns for the creatures below… Anja Freese’s OctopusĪlways really hard to see the details on this one.

Beaded Dolphin Pattern Marilyne Kéréneur’s CrocodileĬute little crocodile/alligator, but I never used the loop on its tail to hang it from anything. I wanted to say I just added the back fin to Marilyne’s design and I started to put together a little graphic to show how I did it and then I realized I’d added a few more rows onto the back so the dolphin’s body would curve. This dolphin is the number one beaded animal people are looking for. The site is old (2013), in frames (yuck), and in French (Oui!), but the patterns are all available for free.

Organized by pattern origin… Marilyne Kéréneur Most of my 3D bead animals came from Marilyne Kéréneur’s site (look under “Animaux”), Anja Freese’s book Lovable Beaded Creatures or my own imagination using 11/0 seed beads and fine wire.

(And, yes, I did update the watermark on the photos.) It’s kind of a dice throw anyway since I have better lighting equipment, but I can only use my cell phone to take the photos. For the most part I will not be re-taking any photos unless someone requests it, so forgive the comparably poor quality.

This is the first in a series of blog posts looking back on ye ol’ art gallery. (Note: the Way Back Machine is also a gift that you can use with old URLs to recapture some of that dead info.)Īnyway, I set up a page to capture the errant traffic and let those visitors know that I have not abandoned them. But at least we have a pin parlor to look back on things, so there’s that to be grateful for. Somewhere on the web this thing I wanted to know about died and Pinterest is just keeping its corpse warm and on display and it’s so frustrating. I hate it when you want to find who made that art and how and you end up stuck in some weird loop and even Google Images just pulls up Pinterest again. And my craft category was not doing it for them.Īs someone who uses Pinterest, I hate the dead ends. These poor visitors from Pinterest wanted to see bead animals, not nail art. So…a week or so ago I finally realized what the strange traffic patterns that Google Analytics kept showing me meant: people trying to reach my old art gallery were getting redirected sideways into this post.
