Beaded Flower Newsletter 12/27/15

I usually wait a day or two to post my newsletter here after sending it via the mailing list. That's so subscribers have first chance at any sale items or special offerings. This is one of the newsletters I missed.

New Tutorial!
Tembleques - Beaded Flowers of Panama


Tembleques are beaded flowers that make up the headdress of La Pollera, the national costume of Panama. These techniques may look like the basic French beaded flower or loop techniques but they're quite different. You'll also recognize the Victorian technique with some interesting variations. The tutorial is 29 pages with detailed photos showing each step. Five petal techniques with variations are shown as well as how to assemble a hair ornament.

Featured Web Site
Perlentiere is a German bead forum site. Perlentiere means Bead Animals but the site has sections for Flowers, Trees, and Other Plants and of course, beaded animals.
