Beadcraft Sam @beadcraft_sam

Built the 😎 cool emoji as a gift for a friend. 80×80 circle, 12 colors — kept the palette tight on purpose so it would look clean.

Artisan Yuko @artisan_yuko

The 🤔 thinking emoji in a ring layout — my most complicated piece so far. The hollow center was an idea I hadn't seen done before and I wanted to try it.

A 120×120 square motorcycle piece — 14400 beads, 23 colors, built from a Studio preset. Harder than expected, but the level of detail surprised me.
