Workshop
Three-sided Right-angle Weave Rope
Prerequisite:
familiarity with right-angle weave
What does everyone want when they create a beaded rope? Strength and
suppleness! The three-sided, right-angle weave rope accomplishes these two
goals BEAUTIFULLY, while offering endless possible variations. The
combination of triangle beads with many other different sizes and shapes
of beads will enhance the natural qualities of this triangular
construction. NanC will also show you how to accomplish her new variation
of three-sided, right-angle weave, otherwise known as “Whistling With Your
Mouth Full Of Crackers.” Come join the fun!
Supplies Needed:
My supply list is a list of possible selections rather than a hard and
fast list of supplies. The Three-sided, Right-angle Weave Lariat can be
made with a huge variety of different selections of beads. I encourage
each person to bring lots of bead options to the workshop. Choose
cocoordinated colors. And—have fun with your choices!
