peyote triangle

A few weeks ago I went to another jewellery class at The Bead Shop Nottingham.  The class was Peyote Triangles, another kind of beadweaving.

 About 3 minutes into the class I realised I already knew how to do this technique, I'd done peyote triangles with Delica beads for my beaded box.  No matter, I love the classes there, we had fun and I did learn how to bead a bail.

We did both sides differently.  The class samples were done in stripes, using just two colours, but I went for three for a more graduated effect.  I have to say, it looks much better in person, beads are so hard to photograph successfully. 

I did the same on the back, using the same bronze coloured beads with a shiny blue and a matt blue.  I'm really chuffed with it!

And it's very diddy!  I just need to string it now to sit as a pendant.  Hopefully I'll have time to make some of the ideas I formed in the class, smaller triangles, linked together...

    I think it is the iridescent effect that makes beads so hard to photograph. Worth the effort, though - the pendant looks lovely!

    Lovely. Does it have the depth it looks like it has or does it lye flat??

    Those are beautiful Wendy! I wonder if I would finally be able to master peyote if I was able to take some classes somewhere. All I can do is peyote stitch around something.

    They are so nice. I've tried beading before but nothing like that.

    Wow that is very cool. I tried beading my own necklace once. I still have the beads sitting around somewhere. They are gorgeous turquoise and coral colors. I think I just need to find a simpler pattern to start. Very nice work.

    I find that a photo never does a piece of art, justice. They always look better in person. Having said that, these must be extraordinary in person because they're beautiful in the photo. Great work.
