Former Caravan Beads employee Tina Chance makes incredible bead sculpture look easy.

Using the smallest seed beads we have to offer, she made this lovely fellow from illustrations of real turtles found in nature. His toes are made from toothpics colored black with magic marker.
Send us pictures of your beaded art and we’ll put them up on the blog for other beaders to admire.


Hello Tina,
Your Turtle is wonderfully remarkable, makes my heart sing. Do you have a pattern for making this Turtle and would I be able to purchase it please?
Thanks ever so much for creating such a thing of beauty.
Julie
Tina says “Well, that’s awfully nice! Unfortunately, in this case, I pretty much made up the pattern as I went and there are no notes or anything, so there’s no pattern that I could pass along.”
