Shoot me if I ever try something like this again. While I love the results (and of course I don't mean to literally shoot me), I'd be nuts to do this again.
This is called "Right Angle Weave" - size 8 beads, 50 of them in 3 rows. 4 beads form a circle and you do 6 "circles" across and then start the next row.
The finished bead when the above figure is sewn together, end to end. I have it on the end of a small pair of Fiskars spring-action scissors so you can see just how small it is.
This started out to be a beaded scissor fob project in a small group I'm in. I won't be doing many of these - the beads are too small, my eyes are too old and my hands - well, just forget them.
I like it, but can't do very many of them.
