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 pattern to be published in Bead and Button.
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.
