I discovered I had seriously underestimated the number of bronze seed beads I'd need, so I changed from a peyote rope to a Russian netting rope. I soon found the black size 15 seed beads didn't go with all the red and pearl of the focals, so I found some silver lined red size 15's in my stash and used those.
When I strung the finished pieces together I discovered the netting hadn't made a firm enough rope to hold its shape.
I think the overall design will still work, but I have to go back and either rework all the rope pieces or reinforce what I've made so far.
In spite of the set backs, I'm still pretty pleased with the over all design, and hope to have it finished by next week.
I like it! Looks great!
