Look at that possibilities for that bead! I plan to make a bead based on the changes in the drawing. I will post that later.
See what fun you can have? Try it and share some of your results. I'd love to see them!

Great exercise, Mallory...I'll be looking forward to seeing the finished bead :)
ReplyDeleteI like it! The three changes give you a finite number of changes instead of leaving you hanging in the wind, wandering how much more or less to do.
