one more try at right angle weave

around the second or third day of my attempt to try beading, i made a right-angle-weave (raw) bracelet. it turned out really well so i wore it at work the following day. my bff, acm, and long time friend, ebd, loved it, too.

and i really believe that that bracelet was what actually conviced acm to start beading as well. see, when ebd and i started beading, acm was very much into photography (and she was very good at it!). she didn't really want to have anything to do with beading because according to her, she just don't have the patience to do all those intricate stuff. but, of course, she was really supportive of me and ebd. but now, you should see her whenever we are visiting our favorite beading shop in arab street. she always spend more than ebd and me!

anyway, after wearing the raw bracelet for a day, i dismantled it the following night. as i wrote in an earlier post, i always dismantle my creations for the very fact that i don't have enough materials yet. and yes, it is to the dismay of acm hahaha she really likes the things i've done so far.

then when i setup this blog and posted all of the things that i've done so far, i was really sorry for not taking a photo of the bracelet. that is why, i decided to make another one, simply for the sake of taking a photo of it. and here it is.



for this, i used the following materials:

16 5mm swarovski bicone beads (smoky quartz)
14 4mm swarovski bicone beads (light smoked topaz)
25-30 seed beads (to hold the toggle)
180-200 miyuki seed beads, hex cut (metallic black)
1 pair of silver plate toggle

difficulty level: 3 (based on 1 to 5, with 5 as the highest level of difficulty, meaning very very difficult)

and yes, i dismantled it again right after i took these photos :) what to do? i needed the beads for a bracelet i wanted to do for my mom.
