I am best known for my little beaded trinket boxes. So, that seemed a logical style to use. But what kind of box?
Well, something else you may not know about the Ukraine: they have a marvellous ballet school in Kyiv. It actually trained two of my all-time favourite dancers (Alina Cojocaru and Ivan Putrov).
And, of course, this is another personal link – my love of ballet and its wonderful heritage in both Ukraine and Russia.
As I was seeking inspiration for this project, what popped into my head was a beaded tutu in the colours of the Ukraine.
Ordinarily, I would sell this tutorial to earn my income. So, I am still ‘selling’ the tutorial, but not to earn money for me: instead, to raise money for the DEC Ukraine appeal.
I am inviting you to make a donation here. The email receipt you receive will contain a link to download your personal copy of this beading tutorial.
If I were selling this tutorial in the normal way, I would charge £10 for it. So, I would like to invite a minimum donation of £10 (feel free to go higher if you wish!) in return for which, as I say, you will receive a copy of this tutorial, teaching you how to make your own tutu beaded box.
I have set a pretty ambitious fund-raising target (based on what I would normally earn from this kind of tutorial), but I am hoping that we can all pull together and reach it…even exceed it!‘
