I didn't see anything on beading here, so I thought I'd add something.
I like doing all sorts of things with seed beads and pony beads, mostly jewelry, but lately, I've been finding other crafts that interest me, too.
I've found a lot of patterns online, free to use by anyone, some of which are super-duper cool. You can't sell the patterns or the items made from the copyrighted ones, but you can always make them for yourself or as gifts.
3nodding I've also found a couple nifty programs that help you make bead patterns out of pictures you find.
If anyone else would like to share their stuff, I'd love to see it!
Links to patterns you can use. Please read around the site to learn about the creators and if they have any rules on crediting them if you use their patterns.
