Description: |
Create beautiful beaded bezels in an array of
sizes and shapes that are lovely from every angle, even from
behind. This method, focusing primarily on an African stitch
[regrettably named polygon stitch], produces corrugated and
highly textured beadwork. Each resulting tiny basket
securely holds a cabochon, domed or faceted stones it is
designed for. You will be amazed at how quickly and joyfully
these beaded bezels work up.
Unlike many
bezel styles meant to be worn flat, and viewed straight-on
(such as pendants, beaded cuff bracelets and collar
necklaces), these bezels beg to be worn in ways that display
all 360° of their elegance. Explore many examples here and
invent more ways later. |
