Beading with Cubes and Triangles 2
by Alice Korach
“When Suzanne and I decided I should design innovative projects using cube and triangle beads, we didn’t determine how many. I’ve always had a horror of not preparing enough food when I entertain, and I approached the content of Beading with Cubes and Triangles the same way.
So, of course, I created twice as many projects as would fit in one book, so we have Cubes and Triangles 2. Each book contains an exciting mix of bracelet and necklace projects for a variety of skill levels.
While the projects in the first book feature classic stitches – primarily peyote, brick, and herringbone – the projects in this book use unusual stitch variations as well as a few made-up stitches and techniques. Even experienced beaders may encounter techniques here that are completely new to them.
‘Octagon Weave’ is a very useful stitch, making it possible to use large-hole beads successfully in right-angle weave; and the beaded button I made for that bracelet is quick easy, and a great clasp alternative.
My favorite project is the ‘Saturn Bracelet’ even though it can only be worn for special, arty occasions. It offered the most challenges – acquiring varied beads, and working double herringbone that joins seamlessly.
I’m really pleased with this book. All the projects are much easier than they look, but you’ll learn a lot from doing each of them. Have fun.”
