Your work is fab. <BR/><BR/>There are some pretty good tuts for tubular peyote...but if you try one, try with size 8 beads til you get the hang of it. <BR/><BR/>I got so frustrated trying to start doing tubular peyote with 11's that I still to this day dislike the stitch. I really should get over that!vivagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869897494047218024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30717124.post-86653166967635468602007-08-29T22:21:00.000-07:002007-08-29T22:21:00.000-07:00Lovely stuff so far Diane.

Another apporach to this can be achieved by laying down some cord/yarn/line of seed beads in the shape you want your stalk for the leaves & berries. Then do whip stitch over the cord, keeping your rows nice & snug. This gives a nice 3D effect & it's easy to attach what ever you want to one end. Here's an example of how it looks http://entertainment.webshots.com/photo/1285715633063161327jfJAsS It's one of my UFOsEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069497824428680505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30717124.post-14510962451022691022007-08-29T19:18:00.000-07:002007-08-29T19:18:00.000-07:00Ooh.

You could string beads and wrap them around a cord, couching them down here and there. Last night we watched a beautiful movie based on Vincent VanGough's letters to his brother Theo narrated by John Hurt. Your sunflower reminds me of his sunflower paintings. Warmth, energy, earthy, fun!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30717124.post-3595892388753593542007-08-29T15:57:00.000-07:002007-08-29T15:57:00.000-07:00you could do some beading around a cord - like wha...you could do some beading around a cord - like what you by at the upolstery shop or use a round shoe lace. You can do bead embroidery around it to give you the dimension you are looking for.<BR/>Hope this helps. I love the flower.<BR/>There are lots of peyote tutorials on line and they are fun! It wouldn't take you long to learn how to use it.<BR/>Cheers, DeniseDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07235753500084196007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30717124.post-29377897122084382882007-08-29T13:32:00.000-07:002007-08-29T13:32:00.000-07:00Hi, Diane --I learned to do both flat and tubular ...Hi, Diane --<BR/><BR/>I learned to do both flat and tubular peyote stitch from two lovely books: Creative Bead Jewelry by Carol Taylor and Creative Native American Beading by Theresa Flores Geary.<BR/><BR/>It only took two to three tries to master the stitch. If you cannot find these books, let me know and I would be glad to scan the pages for you.<BR/><BR/>I like this month's heart very much -- the colors are quite rich.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Kathy V in NMKVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893455571484379148noreply@blogger.com
