I was wondering if anyone knows of a place on the Web where I can find instructions for weaving small animals out of Swarovksi or Firepolish crystals. I've seen the finished product at the local bead store (which doesn't have instructions), but haven't found anything on the Internet. Thanks in advance.
I wish!
They look like they are often down with a right angle weave. I'd say play with that and see what you can do.

Those Teddy Bears didn't look horrifically hard, when broken into components. All the limbs were simple four sided RAW tubes, the body and head were spheres, and the remaining details were just added on at the end. A little fiddling (mostly to make spheres in RAW) would probably work out well. Very little swearing involved.

Thanks so much. It's actually my 11 year old niece who is interested in this (in particular she's looking for a Hello Kitty animal she saw in a Japanese beading book) so I appreciate the tips.
I like your last sentence. I've found it's not beading specifically that causes me to expand my language, but untangling Fireline that does it almost every time. ;-)
Nope. I'm fine with Nymo, fishing line, and PowerPro but FireLine -
vj found this in rec.crafts.beads, from "JL Amerson" :
