More Spirals again






So here's the Cellini spiral. I've used size 10 seed beads in olive green, then size 8 seed beads in silver-lined lime green, and gold silver-lined seed beads in size 6. The pearls are 4mm greens. I've made it gradually narrower towards the back.




And this is the other spiral rope that is basically an embellished right angle weave.




I'll be photographing the other dutch spiral soon, and I'm making a tight spiraled herringbone rope as well and then I think that will be all the spirals there are.

More spirals are listed here:

Free Star Tutorial

Here is the first of the tutorials.




NETTED STAR







Materials: 4mm crystals, or other beads
Size 10/0 seed beads
Stopper bead, any color, will be removed later.
Fine fishing line, approximately 80cm
Beading needle, or other fine needle


1. Thread the fishing line onto the needle

2. Tie on a stopper bead. A stopper bead is a bead the same size or smaller than the smallest bead you are using. String through it twice to hold it in place.

3. Add 6 seed beads, 1 crystal and 1 seed bead.

4. Go back through the crystal, and pull tight.

5. String on another 6 seed beads, a crystal, and this time 4 seed beads.

6. Go back through the first seed bead you strung on, through the same way you came from originally. Then back through the crystal.






7. Continue in this manner, adding 6 seed beads between each section, crystals next to each end, and ends alternating between a single seed bead, and a 4 seed bead circle.

8. This should form a zigzag pattern with the 4 bead circles on one end, and the single beads on the other, as in the diagram.

9. Stop when you have 6 of each types of ends. 12 points all together.



10. The thread should now be coming out of the crystal, in readiness for the 6 seed bead centre. Now instead of starting a new 6 bead section, just string back through the first section, all the way through the first 6 seed beads, the crystal, and the end seed bead.

11. You should now have a rough circle. String through the next single seed bead, at the next point, then the next. Continue through them all. Then go through them all again.




12. Tie off, and thread through a few beads. Remove stopper bead, tie, and thread through a few beads.

More Spirals

So, I made the spiral rope. I made it with a few different colors and some different sized beads. I love the way it turned out. Here in Australia it's Autumn, and these are perfect Autumn colours.




3d beaded teddy bear
I've finished the Teddy Bear. It's so cute! I think I might try getting better photos though. These don't seem as good as they should be.

I'm halfway through a Dutch Spiral and the Cellini Spiral (Peyote Spiral). They'll be finished soon. The other new spiral that I spoke of last time, just known as Spiral Rope (same name as the other basic Spiral). This one is basically an embellished Right Angle Weave. I'll do this one shortly too.
