Work in Progress

This peyote"Dimensional Diamond" pattern was made from a flat sheen tiny bead called a Delica and then I added very shiny multicolored larger beads to make the diamond effect. It was extremely time consuming because the beads were so small but it is very comfortable to wear.

This is "a work in progress". I found out how to make a Russian Spiral and I made this up a couple of days ago. I made the cabasone to hang down from the center but am waiting for inspiration to figure out how to hook the two together. I enjoyed the process of the spiral and hope to make something else with this pattern. I like to make two or three things from the same pattern so that I will know how to do it again for future reference. (It takes a lot for my brain to absorb the weave and then to retain it.) By the way I did NOT go to the bead show that was just down the road from me! I wanted to and just about gave in but my Grand daughter, Beth, has her 12th birthday this week and we are to go out to celebrate. Soooo I made myself stay home and set with my hubby on the back patio and watch the birds, squirrels and flowers. Just think of the money I saved him!
