Journal Entry

Well, last night it happened - my wonderful watchers pushed me over the 600.000 mark! The lovely

However, I wanted to also mention

and

, who came sooo close! Sorry guys, really! But I'll be doing this again, promise!

My thanks go out to everyone who's been watching me and supporting me here on DA for the past 10 years. You are awesome and it's been a privilege to have been here for so long and been gifted with both encouragement for my art and with the beautiful and inspired art of others to watch.

Beading Video Tutorial: Making Beaded TrianglesIn this video I explain how to combine Herringbone and Peyote stitch to make beaded triangles. These super-versatile shapes can be flat or "stuffed" and combined into circles, bead balls and really nifty bead toys called Kaleidocycles.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Beading Video Tutorial: Herringbone StitchIn this video I explain how make Herringbone stitch. This versatile stitch works up fast and makes for interesting textures, because it places beads at a 45 degree angle to each other. It also allows you to combine different bead sizes and embed beads for great effects.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Beading Video Tutorial: Circular BrickstitchIn this video I explain how to start and work circular Brickstitch. This variant of linear Brickstitch allows you to thread medallions around a central focal bead, which can then be worn singly as earrings or pendants or can be combined into bracelets and necklaces.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Beading Video Tutorial: Linear BrickstitchIn this video I explain how to start and work linear Brickstitch. It's a super versatile technique that allows you to work with many different bead sizes and shapes in the same piece, so it's great for using up bits and bobs in your bead stash that just won't add up to a whole project by themselves and to experiment with different textures.

Beading Video Tutorial: Holey PeyoteIn this video I show a technique that allows you to embed holes in Peyote stitch, either to accent a pattern or to give your piece a more see-through "lacy" feel.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Beading Video Tutorial: Multi-stack PeyoteLearn how to work Peyote faster by stacking 2 or more beads on top of each other. This technique is also ideal for working patterns with more organic curves and smooth lines.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.

Beading Video Tutorial: Lacing Up PeyoteIn this video I explain how you can make a Peyote band into a seamless cuff bracelet by lining up and lacing up the edges. You will never have to put a closure on any of your bracelets again!

Beading Video Tutorial: Increasing PeyoteThis video is the companion piece to the one in my previous Journal that showed how to decrease Peyote. Between the two you can create Peyote bands with free-form edges.
To see all the videos in one place you can also subscribe to my Youtube channel.
This is probably going to be my last journal for the year. 2018 has been a pretty wild ride for me:
I discovered 3D beading techniques, such as adding "horns" and "wings" to Peyote bands, and if you like some of my latest spiky creations you should really check out Kate McKinnon's amazing project.
This past summer US Games Systems published my second Tarot deck, the New Era Elements Tarot. You can get it directly from their websiteor pick up a copy at

Beading Video Tutorial: Decreasing PeyoteWe're looking at an additional technique for Peyote stitch. This is part of the way I work my wing bracelets with their increasing and decreasing shapes.

Protecting yourself from Paypal chargebacksI decided I'd write something on this since it seems to be affecting a lot of my friends and artists I'm close to. I'll start with a few disclaimers.
Disclaimer 1:
I am not a finance expert. I have never filed a chargeback nor have I been in a chargeback dispute (fortunately). I have done some research out of both curiosity and out of desire to help out the community a bit. This is going to be quick(ish) and summarized. I'm also going to be changing some things to the way I sell as well (obviously).
Disclaimer 2:
This journal isn't about what to do in a chargeback dispute but rather, how to set up your sales so that you'll have the upper hand when having to deal with a dispute. I've included some useful links at the bottom for further information!

Printed Minky Reviewedit to add: yes the printed minky is washable! I didn't wash mine, but according to spoonflower "Wash separately in cool or warm water using a gentle machine cycle. Machine dry using a low temperature or permanent press setting and remove promptly to avoid wrinkles." Although please don't machine wash a plush, ahah. Just the fabric.
------------------
So I recently got the chance to play with printed minky! Here's a sort of review about it
Bought from: spoonflower.com
Price: $28/yrd. Very expensive, but for a very versatile product of this quality it's definitely justified.
Shipping: Only $6 to Canada, with tracking, took about a week and a half to arrive once shipped, no duties. A+
File prep: spoonflower has very simple requirements that are easy to follow. I scanned my pattern pieces, cleaned them up and colored them, then I copied them into a file that was set to spoonflower's specifications (150dpi, set to the width of minky. I added length as I needed it). To make sure my pieces
