Another day, another contest on perlentiere.com! 😀
This time, it was all about beaded collectible figurines – anthropomorphic animals in kitschy-fancy dresses. You should absolutely go check out the contributions! There are some creative people out there!
I entered a little fairy bear as well as a bunny dame I developed myself.

Ich hoffe, sie gefällt Euch und Ihr bevölkert Eure Vitrinen und Setzkästen mit tausenden kleiner Schildkröten! (*muahahaaa* Sie werden die Weltherrschaft an sich reißen!) Continue reading

I believe I had done an Internet search for beaded Christmas presents or tree decorations – but I can’t be sure what I had been looking for because everything went haywire when I happened upon yonder site and the sheer cornucopia of ideas (and instructions) for Christmas presents! Within (what feels like) seconds, I had bought four of their patterns and was ready to give myself over to absolute beading frenzy.
