Need advice--beaded bead
Ok, so I saw these cat's eye beads in the FMG catalog, and I wanted to make
some: http://www.firemountaingems.com/deta...=1&dept=search It looks like tubular RAW, am I right? I just can't seem to get mine looking that even and symmetrical. I'm using Nymo instead of the nylon filament it looks like those are done with. Could that be the reason mine don't look as nice? Or maybe I just need practice ;o) Also, I thought these would look nice with smaller beads as the first and last rows, and then slightly larger, contrasting beads for the middle row, since they kinda stick out, forming "corners". I'm really new to tubular RAW (when I saw these in the catalog, I pulled out my Art & Elegance of Beadweaving book, and used the tubular RAW primer in there), so I don't know if that will work. Can anyone tell me if they DON'T think it'll work? Thanks! ) -- Kyla |

There are clear glass crystals (or large seed beads?) in that weave, too. Did
you use only the catseye beads? I just can't seem to get mine looking that even and symmetrical. I'm using Nymo instead of the nylon filament it looks like those are done with. Could that be the reason mine don't look as nice? Or maybe I just need practice ;o) ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."
