Part 1<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know if you've heard, but Pokemon is hot again, thanks to a new mobile app called Pokemon Go! This app is possibly the best thing ever to get kids who are too involved in indoor activities, out and about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd have a little beading fun and make beadies of the pokemon my sons have caught so far. Here is part 1.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Charmander (Pokemon #4)</b></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">You can find the pattern for Charmander </span><a href="http://beadiecritters.com/patternpages/beadcharmander2.htm" style="text-align: start;">here</a><span style="text-align: start;">. I made a couple of modifications to this pattern that I thought would make it nicer for putting on a backpack or purse.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did the tail with a separate piece of plastic lacing, strung through the three yellow beads at the bottom of his tummy. Then, I strung the plastic lacing through the middle beads of the row just below the eyes, to tie the tail "up" more like Charmander uses it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Caterpie pattern came from Jason's Beadie Site. I have links to his site on my website, but while looking for some of these Pokemon patterns, I found that Jason's site host has enabled some annoying and potentially dangerous pop-up ads that tell you things like "your media player may be out of date" and want you to install things - not cool! Therefore, I have included the pattern from his site here:</div>

These are just three of the two dozen or so different Pokemon that my sons have caught so far. More to come soon!</div>

How about some beadie critters? Here are some ideas to put on your backpack, suitcase, duffel bag, or tote bag, whatever you are carrying for your summer adventures.<br />
<br />
<b>Graduation!</b><br />
<br />
Did you or someone you love graduate this year? Celebrate with some fun beadies. Here are a couple of ideas from beadiecritters.com:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can make the cap and tassel whatever colors you need for your school.</div>

<a href="http://beadiecritters.com/patternpages/beadboball.htm">Graduate Bob</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bob is ready to graduate and move on the next stage in his life! Again, you can change the robe and cap colors to suit your needs. (This is part of a whole series of Bob outfits - scroll down a little to find the graduate one, click on the picture and you'll see a larger version.)</div>

<b>Summer Treats</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hot summer days leave us looking for treats. Here are an ice cream cone and popsicle that will never melt on you!</div>

This pattern offers a variety of options to show different ice cream flavors, a double scoop, etc.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Summer Beach Fun</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We love to go to the beach or the swimming pool in the summer. Hook these onto your beach bag!</div>

This will really add some color to your bag!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another idea: Make the 3-D Christmas ornament with a different color for each of the sides for a beach ball look!</div>
<br />

<a href="http://beadiecritters.com/patternpages/beadjordan1.htm">Girl in Swimsuit</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Change the color of the skin and/or the swimsuit to represent you! (Note: this is part of a series of beadie dolls in different outfits. Scroll down a little to find "Jordan at the Swimming Pool."</div>

Monster High CharactersIt's harder nowadays for me to stay up on all the new characters in kids' shows. Luckily, I have some friends with small children. One of them has a daughter who is into Monster High. I was in the mood to do some designing, so I decided to start with her favorite. I ended up designing 5 that day.<br />

Some of the colors I used are hard to come by in retail stores. I recommend ordering from bolekscrafts.com. They have 60 colors of pony beads in two sizes (regular and mini). You can order in bags of 75 or 1000 in the regular size, or bags of 90 or 1000 in the mini size. Their prices are great, and their quality is better than the beads you will find in a retail store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can also try finding the assortment that comes in a divided container from Walmart to find most of the colors you need. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I plan on putting these on the site officially soon. But these patterns are simple enough that you should be able to figure them out by looking at the picture. I am working on getting Expression 3 on my new computer so that I can work on my website.</div>

I had a look at them and thought I understood, but thought I'd make sure I was right. I was glad I did because it turned out to be more complicated than I was thinking it was. This is one of the most advanced patterns on the site.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I took pictures throughout the process of doing one of the wings and sent them to the person who emailed me. I decided to put them here on my blog as well, so that it can help others.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The first part is the easy part. Do the entire body of the eagle (head down to the feet) with no wings. Finish off the body. Then, take the 2nd string that the instructions call for and slide it through row 5 (the one that is brown-white-brown-white etc.) so that it is even on both sides.</span><br />

Today I made a video tutorial for making a beadie gecko. This is a great project for beginners, and I hope that a video will help explain the process if anyone is struggling.

It's a domain name registration problem. I have attempted to contact my site sponsor to get that taken care of (it's in his name, so I can't even pay it if I wanted to). I'll continue trying to reach him and hopefully the site will be up soon.<br />
<br />
I'm currently recovering from my son's wedding and getting ready to go on a vacation. After I return from my trip, I'll figure out something to do with the site if the domain name problem hasn't been taken care of. I also plan to begin posting patterns on the blog at that point.<br />
<br />

While it's sad to see it end, I'm excited to see what they've done with the exciting events in the end of the book.<br />
<br />
In celebration, here are some Harry Potter beadies:<br />

Hope everyone enjoys these, as well as the final movie!Margo Meadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18145544229038371044noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8019588155486691332.post-2528416712691660252011-06-14T18:09:00.000-07:002011-06-14T18:10:16.543-07:00Where Can I Find Beads?If you're interested in making very many of the critters I've posted here on my blog, or the over 1400 patterns on my website, you might be wondering, "Where can I find all these colors of beads?"<br />
<br />
A trip to the craft store reveals that there are not very many colors available in the 6x9mm pony beads--maybe 8-10 colors at the most. And if you want 4x7mm mini pony beads, there are even fewer choices. Most stores will have only 1 or 2 colors, or maybe an assortment, if they have anything at all in that size.<br />
<br />
So what's a beadie critter fanatic to do?<br />
<br />
I did a little poking around today to see what was out there. There are several stores that carry a variety of colors in the regular (6x9mm) pony beads, the mini (4x7mm) pony beads, or both. Here is a listing of just a few:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.bolekscrafts.com/">http://www.bolekscrafts.com/</a> Bolek's Crafts has the largest selection (70 colors) of pony beads in both regular and mini sizes. Made in the USA, and better quality than the ones you see in stores. Their site is more than a little hokey, and there is no online ordering, but I've gotten my beads from them for years and never had a problem. $.60 for 75 beads, $3.60 for 1000, in the regular size. (To find the pony beads--click on "Click Here to See Our Online Catalog" then scroll down until you see the words "Need Pony Beads?" You'll see the listing for regular-size pony beads there. To get to the mini pony bead listing, look for "More Pony Beads" toward the top of this page.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.makingfriends.com/">http://www.makingfriends.com/</a> has 20 colors of Darice beads in single-color packs of 720 for $2.99, and mixed packs of 1000 for the same price. Only a mixed bag of the mini size. Also has stars, hearts, and magic beads. This site also has more patterns for beadie critters, all free!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/catalog/Beads/Plastic-Beads/Pony-Beads/">http://www.shipwreckbeads.com/catalog/Beads/Plastic-Beads/Pony-Beads/</a> has over 50 colors of 6x9mm pony beads available, as well as hearts, stars and magic beads (that change color in the sun). You can get a package of 500, 1000, 4000, or 10000 of one color. 500 costs $2.95 and 1000 is $4.35. They have a showroom in Lacey, Washington, where you can go and buy beads and other things, if you live in the area.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.craftsuppliesforless.com/kidscraftsupplies_ponybead.html">http://www.craftsuppliesforless.com/kidscraftsupplies_ponybead.html</a> This site has about 20 colors of what looks like Darice Beads, as well as several color assortments, and magic beads. Most beads are $3.75 for a bag of 720 to 1000. They have larger quantity bags as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://kwikcrafts.com/">http://kwikcrafts.com/</a> Another site with a nice selection of regular-size pony beads, $3.99 for 720 in a single color. A small selection of mini pony beads, in assortment packages.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ebay.com/">http://www.ebay.com/</a> A search for Pony Beads will find several choices. One of them is chellynk2's store where she offers a bag of 100 single-color 6x9mm pony beads for $1.25 (but $1.75 shipping for the first package, $.40 for additional bags on the same order). She has a nice selection of colors and some that Bolek's doesn't have.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/KandyLand?ref=seller_info">http://www.etsy.com/shop/KandyLand?ref=seller_info</a> Kandyland offers some truly unique pony bead colors, including frosted pony beads, in the 6x9mm size. She also has skull, halloween, crown-shaped, and other pony beads. Her prices are a little on the high side, $3-4 for a bag of 100 pony beads, but her unique offerings might make it worth buying a couple of them.<br />
<br />
With all that said...I have been thinking about offering small bags of beads from Bolek's (and maybe other locations) on an E-bay or Etsy store. I would have to charge higher prices than Bolek's, because of listing and sales fees, and the value of my time...but what do you think? Would you be interested in buying a small bag of a color you need for a couple of beadie critters, to be able to avoid having to buy them 1000 at a time, and paying a $9 shipping fee for Bolek's?<br />
