Beyond Trends – patterns with personality
Each bracelet or pair of earrings you create from my patterns is more than just jewelry – it’s the result of a plan, a mistake, a fix, and a ‘screw it, looks fine now’.
I include both word charts and color diagrams to help you bead the way you want. And if you're the kind who loves planning, my extra sketch-your-own-color option make each project uniquely yours.
Built for beaders, by a beader
Every pattern is created by someone who actually beads, which is me. No mass production, no shortcuts – just tested designs, bead by bead, row by row. You’ll feel the difference.
Small details. Big difference.
From graph charts to word chart, from table of contents to few useful tips – I obsess over the little things so you can focus on enjoying the process.

Very well-made tutorial; Crafty Beads tutorials are among the best I've bought, well explained and very comprehensive. I really appreciate that the patterns only require a few colors, so it's possible to make a beautiful bracelet without buying too many different beads, ideal for beginners (which I am). I made the bracelet with different colors for a first attempt. A big thank you.

This pattern is amazing! The artist obviously gave a great deal of thought to every possible way a beader would approach making the bracelet - there are word and diagram options, options to sketch out your own colors, a JPG file, and on and on. I have purchased hundreds of peyote patterns and this one is by far the most detailed and offers the most!
