Those are very pretty. How long does it take to make one?

If you are very familiar with Right Angle Weave, it'll take less than 2 hour, but if you are a beginner it might take half a day with all the figuring it out and undoing and redoing.

Cheers!

Thank you. May give it a try. Never did any beading.

I would suggest you make something like this crystal snowflake pendant: http://beadjewelrymaking.com/Kid_Art_Project/Kid_art_bead_project/march2006kid_bead_project.html
to start off with as you have not done any beading before, as it's also Right Angle Weave but just not as difficult as the 3-D patterns.

Happy Beading!

Hello Beadangel!

I really like your beadwork and your tutorials...(I have read them all). They never cease to ammaze me, you do great great work! ( I can't even string popcorn, and I am in the popcorn biz!)

I wish I could do these things, but I don't quite have the patience nor the time... I sure do appreciate that you keep this craft alive and do it so well! (and are willing to share as you do.)

I am debating on printing these out for my Mom, but she is getting up there in years and I don't know if her eyesight (much less mine) would be able to handle it!

Thanks again Beadangel for sharing. You truly are a Bead Angel!

You are most welcome, Try printing the tutorials in larger fonts (landscape) and buy bigger beads for her to bead, maybe that'll help.

Cheers!
