Default Dragon or Butterfly tutorial

Hi Everyone! Does anyone know of tutorials (and / or) directions on getting started making butterfly or dragon beads. I want to start making focals with pictures of stylized dragons and butterflys (a little simpler than dragons) with swirly wings and stuff. I know it would be laying down the colors and laying a stringer across the color details while dragging it to form the ridges in the wings but a starting point to jump off into my own style would be really helpful. Thanks! Patty

Default Butterfly Tutorial

Patty,

On Torchbugs.com you'll find a free butterfly tutorial by Lara entitled "Beads of Courage Butterflies." It's on page 2 of Free Tutorials.

Oh, I'll just paste the URL for you here: http://www.torchbugs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6509

Enjoy!

Carlabeads - Carla Beyerlein's Fantasy Butterfly Tutorial. It's a nicely written tutorial with a gorgeous end product. I sent her a message to check in on this thread.

Please message me on FACEBOOK Plum Loco with your email address if you would like a free tutorial. I won't be coming to LE much if any at all. I will not rescind my offer as there are some that would still like them.

Here's my original message so you don't have to click around to see what it was!
Patty, If you, or anyone else would like a free dragon tutorial PM me with your email addie and I'll send them out no charge.

I got them! Not just the Dragon tutorial but the Alien Phant tutorial as well.

Thanks so much, Loco. They look fabulous! Extremely detailed.

I hope you have a great weekend
