Making jewellery with tiny glass beads in geometric forms are my real passion.
I am a self taught beader and have had many an opportunity to say to myself
“I wonder what would happen if I deviate and do it this way”
Happily with this outlook, my love of geometric shapes and versatility within a piece of jewellery,
led me to discovering an original technique that achieves both of my goals.
My diagonal, tubular, peyote variation led me to designing and writing a pattern for Reversible ZigZag Bangle which was my first of several patterns to be published in Bead and Button magazine.
ZIG ZAG Bangle Pattern
This is an intermediate to advanced project.
A basic knowledge of even count, tubular peyote, step-ups, increasing and decreasing stitches are needed.
The reversible bangle is worked in tubular peyote stitch as a continuous piece using size 11 cylinder beads.
