Learning hexagon angle weave was a great challenge, but once I got it into my head, I wondered why I had so much trouble with it. It does take multiple steps to complete a design, but it follows a completely logical thread path. Maybe that was my problem, I'm not a logical thinker.
Anyway It's done and I'm very pleased with how my design turned out. I haven't decided on a clasp yet, but I wanted to share my victory with my readers.
You can find the pattern in my BeadPatternsBoutique shop:
or at TheBeadCoop
or in my ArtFire Studio
I haven't decided what's next. I've been looking through Gwen Fisher's tutorials. She has some interesting stitches as well as fantastic beaded beads. The fact that they are all based on mathematics fascinates me, maybe because my brain usually shuts off when I hear "math", but these designs and stitches are so beautiful I'm drawn to them.
That looks awesome! I just did Gwen's tutorial on the Hexagon Weave and was doing fine until the video ended, LOL. Then I was so confused as to where to go next. I will have to try it again when I can really concentrate on it. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. Now I don't feel quite so dense, knowing I' not the only one that felt lost. I opened my word processing program that I use to draw my patterns and drew each step in a separate frame, pausing the video each time, in order to get it through my head.
