I’ve gotten pictures of my favorite iPod case so far and uploaded to them to Etsy. I love it because it’s the first mixed-media design. That is, it incorporates beading, embroidery (a little) and ribbon!

I saw something similar in a book and when I got the fabric, I realized I had all the right materials. I even made two. I would have made more, but I didn’t think they’d all sell and didn’t know what I’d do with them all. So very shiny, pretty, happy!  (Listing)

Any recommendations for sites which post beading patterns and the like? I’m still new to the whole beading thing and am trying to get more ideas in my head. After seeing hundreds of quilt blocks, I can come up with my own. Beading is so much more reflective of the real world (flowers and such) but it’s still hard for me.
