SHOWS NO INSTRUCTION, JUST SHOWING OFF

You are correct. I WAS showing off. I am very proud of my freeform designs. I make one-of-a-kind pieces. I start with a drawing, a plan on paper, if you will and work from that to "paint my pattern" using the richest colors and textures in beads I can find. If you are looking for instructions on freeform peyote, I have them for sale and would be happy to make a pdf available. As to the bragging part, wouldn't you if you'd made these pieces?

this is just Gorgeous!!! Did you make this with matsuno seed beads or Delicas?

[ncteddybearlady]

Thank you very much for admiring this piece. I make freeform pieces all the time but this particular one is a favorite of mine. To answer your questions, it was made with a combination of Matsunos, Czech seeds and some few Deilicas.

I found instructions on the web from several sources on freeform. DO not think your self so great that you slip and fall off a steep cliff. My people taught me this. To brag was to show your own fault..
