Tony Brick Stitch

Hi, I’m Tony! I create things using seed beads.

Pattern modifications

When crafting with seed beads, I often work with non-beading patterns. It can be a friendship bracelet pattern from Bracelet Book or retro pixel art. These designs usually require a few tweaks: adding or trimming rows, adjusting proportions to fit the seed beads aspect ratio, picking the bead colors, and so forth.

I compile these modifications into PDF files and share them just like the originals: non-commercial and completely free. These mods are created with a community-driven mindset, much like open-source software.
