Description
(2005)This is a repeat pattern for uneven Peyote. You can eventually close the bead piece to form a cuff bracelet, for example. This pattern works especially well with delica beads, because of the evenness and precision of the design.
You start in the top left corner and work you way down and up and to the right.

Hi... thank you for your bead bracelet instructions. I was just wondering how long is the thread for this type of bracelet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I use a reasonable length, i.e. not so long it tangles, not so short that I have to use a new thread right away. Then, when I run out, I lay the new thread parallel to the end of the old thread, knot them both together and keep going. The knot and the two ends of the two threads just slip into the pattern and I snip off the ends that peek out after a couple of stitches.

I mean how do you calculate the length of the thread for any type and width of bracelet?

I could see a floor in a large building of another world looking like this, and at the same tine it would partialy reflect the walls and anythig else there. just an inspiation from this image

That sounds wonderful. I guess you could actually do the pattern if you had two types of differently colored bricks.

yes you could because 1 colour would nut be so contrasting, unless the 'morter' line is more definite

Thanks for the comment!
I guess more recently people don't change their children's preferences around so much. There are so many good tools now being made for left-handed people it's just not a big deal any more. In some sports like baseball it's even an advantage.
But nearly 40 years ago being a "lefty" was considered abnormal and things had to be rectified...

I design my bracelets the same way!
I like this one, it looks somewhat Celtic and native at the same time.
Reading through the comments up there... I was born left handed too, but got corrupted to that 'dark side' by my parents. Lol.

Ahh... if you're right-handed.

Yeah, know what you mean. I was born left handed, but my parents patiently kept putting pens into my right hand and slowly changed me over to the "dark side"... LOL!
They did forget the scissors, I still cut with my left hand!

That's amazing; I can't write worth beans with my right hand. I can, however, use scissors for either hand.
...Now I'm wondering if there's a dA club for lefties....

I looked at this and immediatly thought Red Indian and then started to think about all the possibilities for pattern design like Greco/Roman stuff. The possibilities are huge. Nice work Elly.

Thanks! Actually making up an original pattern is most of the fun for me. I love Escher's art, and so devising connecting patterns and exploring symmetries is just too cool! I've rarely worked from pre-existing patterns, as that would be a bit boring in my opinion.

If you love Escher here's an amusing piece for you. [link]

Wow that's amazing. Such a cool idea! You know I actually did the architecture part in paper many years ago, because I wanted to know if it fit. I had the model for years in my room when I was still living at home until the day my sister's dachshund decided to have a go at it... 
The lego version is just great because it includes the figures (and is probably more sturdy than my paper model was. LOL!)
