Macrame owl tutorial, in Russian, but since it is 95% visuals, the language doesn't matter. This design has the interesting features of: (a) tufty owl ears, (b) the wings are joined to the body with half-hitches over multiple cords, (c) the binding for the tail is done with whipping rather than square knots or half-hitches. This makes it a bit more uniform.

Interesting bead-stringing technique using TWO strands of "stringing wire" (AKA tigertail). This requires pretty-coloured tigertail because the tigertail is going to be visible rather than covered entirely with beads. This is done by alternating between stringing the beads on single wires (one or both) and stringing the beads on two wires together, with enough space between the beads that the tigertail is exposed. Because the beads alternate in this way, the beads strung on both wires together hold the other beads in position, as the stiff-but-flexible tigertail opens with the separate wires, and closes when the wires are strung together.

The author describes the necklace as "amazingly colorful, stylish couture necklace" but I don't think so. Plastic beads are plastic beads. However, I do like the idea of making links with zip-ties strung with (glass) beads. It has interesting chain-maille-ish potential, if one could do a maille weave that was more than the usual 2-in-1 chain.

This video instruction teaches how to make a beautiful cord with beads; large beads and small beads, making a shell-like edge.

Pattern by Esther Chandler. A flattish crocheted cord, to which one can optionally add beads; good for jewellery.

Photo-tutorial for zig-zag eyepin bead necklace. The page is in Russian, but the pictures are clear enough without translation.

That is pretty enough that I almost want to take up intricate seed-beading again.

The Snitch is not so golden because the yarn/thread used to crochet them is not golden.

String the beads onto wire (wire which is thick enough to hold its shape, and thin enough to string the beads onto) and then wrap it into a long coil, and use the beaded coil as the centrepiece of a necklace strung onto leather. Cool idea.

Pretty bead necklace with a-symmetrical chains forming a triangle-point.

Necklace variations using a three-sided link made with WigJig jewelry making tools and jewelry supplies. (needs Cyclops round Jig)

Simple yet elegant.
