Technique play
After I figured out the technical aspects of the safety pins, I therefore decided to practice some new beading techniques.
flat peyote stitch
circular peyote stitch
net stitch
flower element
6 bead circular peyote stitch
So the idea, was to just play around to see which stitches did what, which type of thread would work best for each stitch. This would eventually help me know which limitations I had when I designed using beads and which lines I would be able to push in order to achieve my desired results.
