Bead Pattern Links

*************************************************************
These are the links to bead patterns on the web that I've gathered the past few years. These are not the only ones, but these are the ones I've been able to find. Look for 'Free', 'Freebies', or 'Patterns' on these sites, and you may  have to scroll down in order to find the pattern links or actual patterns. Some sites will need Javascript in order for them to load correctly. When you are at these sites, be sure to also look at their tutorials, as they will sometimes have another pattern there. Some catalogs also have tutorials or projects, so check out those sites, too. When you visit these sites, be sure to check out their galleries and the work these bead artists do. There is a lot of inspiration to be found on the net. Some sites suddenly disappear, so if you find that one of these links is bad, please let me know so I can remove it or fix it. If you find that one of the sites that I've listed as 'missing' has a new home please let me know that, too! If your site is not listed here and you would like it to be, please email me at: 


Sites with free patterns that update occasionally are here.
Sites with free patterns that aren't updated are here.
Sites with eyecandy only are here.
Sites with tips and instructions, and might have patterns, are here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the page links.


 what a nice surprise to come across this site! There are a lot of other free sites listed, and not just for beads. The webmaster/mistress gave my links a very complimentary write up. You can spend a lot of time going thru all the lists there, so sit down with a cold or hot drink, put the kids to bed early, and take your time.
=-=-=-=-=
Note: It is now March 2007, and I've found myself removing more and more bead sites that offer free patterns.
If you know of a site not on my list, PLEASE email me with the URL. Thanks!!

Lori makes a lot of neat items. You would not believe her polymer clay pieces. I talked to her for awhile at the Denver bead show in September, and she took my web site card cuz she is interested in
working with paperclay, something I've been working with recently. I really enjoyed our conversation. You will just love what she makes. Be sure to read all about Polly when you visit her site. Be sure to check both links above.

I was at this booth at the bead fair/show in Denver in September, and was blown away by the detail in the beads. If you click on Pati's Beads on the left, you'll see hers, which are called
'aquarium' beads. You'll see why when you look at them. John's beads are equally impressive, and look almost alive. We spent a lot of time at this booth, talking to
John, and he showed us some pieces he's going to give one of the Denver museums for display. They approached him, which I think is terrific! You cant tell the depth and
detail very well in these photos, but trust me, they are very impressive. I don't get impressed by what I see very often, but this did it for me.
