August 2010 Beaded 3D Dolphin Whale Project
You can find a variety of Free Arts and Craft Project here, including beaded project and other project. This month, I would like to feature the instruction on a beaded 3D Dolphin Whale made with Japanese glass seed beads, using right angle weave beading technique.

The pictorials are illustrated with spaces between beads for a clearer direction, in the actual beading, there should be no spaces.
