Butler Anna The Hoof GP (NOT for the squeamish)Bunker: Building for the End Times by Bradley GarrettMaking tiny little beaded fruits :) Any round beaded fruit (Apple, watermelon, orange, pear) from TOMO Handicraft - super easy start point! Use larger center beads and just add 1 or 2 more small beads per row to make the watermelon.Little Cherries from Tezukuri Notes! - I just make the fruit, not the jewelry, but it’s easy and a good next step.Larger Cherries from Tezukuri Notes! - this is the one I kept counting wrong. You can make the berries into any round fruit - I add a stem and leaf based on what I learned from other videos to make an apple and it looks great. I also leave out the center bead apples. But if you are going to make cherries, watch the video all the way through first!Orange (or other round fruit) from Tezukuri Notes! - I tried this one first and it came out ugly. But now that I have done a bunch more and learned better practices, I am going to go back to try it again.Next up - bananas and watermelon slices!(There’ll be a photo of Anna’s project jar of beaded fruits on our Discord Server!) The unsettling universe of ASMR restocking videos (plus the various commentary on them).
