Turtle a Birds Eye View is created using my imagination and hand drawing in the Loomerly beading app (no Ai or digital generation was used). There are at least 30 hours of design time by me in this design.

The Turtle can be worked in even count peyote beading stitch and odd count peyote stitch, you will receive PDFs for both methods which has the bead chart, word chart, colour of beads and amounts used. I have provided two different colour ways or choose your own colours.
The third PDF file has eight pages of tips for working the beaded design in even count and odd count peyote stitch. There are no instructions and diagrams in the PDF file for peyote stitch but there are links to take you to video tutorials and websites instructions such as Jill Wiseman Designs and ThreadaBead that will give you all the information you need to stitch the beading. There are also useful tips like how to replace a broken bead and different methods of working odd count peyote stitch.

The turtle design is worked in Miyuki Delica Beads Size 11/0.
There are 9 colours, 2760 beads, 60 columns of beads and 92 rows of beads (46 beads high) in the even count design.
There are 10 colours, 2174 beads, 59 columns of beads and 92 rows of beads (46 beads high) in the odd count design.
The two turtle designs share 8 bead colours, there are 12 colours used over the 2 designs.

As the design is the similar for both the odd and even count, you can interchange the colours between patterns or use your own colours.
I used 8-pound crystal FireLine fishing line and a short beading needle to stitch the peyote beading but you can use what is comfortable for you.
Sorry I do not sell the materials to work my beading patterns but I can provide links to recommended on-line bead stores where you can purchase the beads for my patterns in the USA and Canada if requested.

The finished beading measures approximately 3.1 inches wide by 3.1 inches high (8 cm by 8 cm) depending on your sewing tension and is a perfect design for a coaster as it looks good from all angles. I purchased the 8 mm deep acrylic coasters for cross-stich from stitchtastic in the UK, they ship internationally.
The beading also fits nicely into a 5.5 inch by 5.5 inch (13. 3/4 cm by 13 3/4 cm) float display case which is used to display jewelry and other dimensional objects. You can find them on the internet by doing a search for Floating Frame or Floating Display Case or Floating Display Holder. There is a picture of a floating frame in the image gallery.

You can also use the beaded picture for the cover of a felt needle case to keep your beading needles in. I have a PDF instructions on how to make a felt needle case.

You may gift or sell your finished beading at craft shows/fairs but not on the internet, please reference Tanja Berlin as the designer.

If you would like to teach the design, please contact me for permission.

Thank you,
