Jayne Tokumi of Bead Crumbs Hawaii has already created six wonderful patterns for John Bead featuring our Cylin™ beads, and next week we will be adding a seventh!

Jayne is a creator from Hawaii with a knack for turning tiny stitches into tiny stories. Her style is playful, precise and full of personality, and she tests every project herself, which gives her work a real handmade spirit that people love.

She sells her patterns on Etsy, where her designs have a devoted following. For John Bead, she creates special projects that we share at no cost, and with six patterns already available, there is lots to discover while we get ready to reveal number seven next week.
