Description: |
Bezel a
keystone with Tila beads! In traditional masonry, a keystone
is the wedge-shaped stone at the top of an arch that allows
the structure to bear weight. But in this piece, the
keystone gets to float in the center of the necklace
surrounded by sparkly square and rectangle crystals. You'll
use the two-hole Tila and Quarter Tila beads along with
bugle beads to bezel the crystals and enhance the angles of
these elements (without making them too sharp!). Additional
Quarter Tila and bugle beads combine into mini square
components that make a unique beaded rope. Experiment with
different arrangements of these elements, or incorporate
them into bracelets or earrings.
In this class you'll use peyote stitch and
right-angle weave (RAW) to learn how to bezel a keystone
focal stone and angular crystals. You'll use two-hole Tila
beads, bugle beads, and Japanese seed beads, and you'll also
learn how to connect them together for a regal necklace.
You'll also learn how to finish the necklace with a unique
beaded rope.
