Beaded spiral ropes and beadweaving
Lately I have been getting back into beadweaving and enjoying its therapeutic qualities. Top of my list have been spiral ropes as I just love the final effect achieved by what is essentially a fairly simple stitch. I couldn’t show them before because the blue one was a present for my Mum on Mother’s Day - the beautiful blue shades made quite a striking eyeglass leash. Here is a picture of the whole piece:
It was difficult to gauge the appropriate finished length but Mum was very pleased and when she tried it on it fitted great. Wasn’t sure if it was a bit too flamboyant but she loved it. Watch this space for a tutorial on beaded spiral ropes coming soon!
