Golden Dreams - Learning Right Angle Weave

Golden Dreams

One of the first stitches I learned in beading was Right Angle Weave. I had a very limited supply of beads and needed a stitch that gave me versatility in making my creations.

Being a brand new beaded, I had never heard of delica beads or japanese seed beads. I stitched this bracelet using Mill Hill seed beads left over from a cross stitch project. It was originally started as gift for my mother. She loves it.

Green Dreams

My family all lives a ways away. I don't get to see them very often, and my mom was going to visit my sister last summer, I made this one to give to her.

Black Beauty

I have found as I bead more and more that when I find something I like, I try to make different variations of that design.

Black & White

I wear a lot of black and wanted something casual. This is what I came up with. It is a very comfortable bracelet, and very casual.

On Fire

Gordon Lightfoot was playing in Lethbridge last fall and I needed a bracelet to go with the shirt I wanted to wear, I love the colors in it, and it matched perfectly.

Diamond Blocks

Slowly adding to my beading collection, I tried to start thinking outside of the box.

Spots

I love the color of turquoise, this is one of my favorite necklaces in the summer.

Red, White & Black X's & O's

Very sharp set when put together, the plain circle is an anklet, made with stretchy cord.

Crystal Bracelet #3

This is one of the first bracelets I made. The tutorial I followed was posted by BeeJang, and it is called Crystal Bracelet #3 (Link goes to her free tutorial).

All of the bracelets on this page were made by using variations of this pattern. I just changed the amount of beads, and where they were placed in the rows.

Moss

After getting some more beads, I wanted to try the pattern again, this time in beads I really liked. I love wearing this one with my khaki outfits.

Right Angle Weave - aka RAW is a very versatile stitch. Some find it hard, some find it easy. I found it took a minute or two to get used to. But, once I got the hang of it, beading with right angle weave was easier than I though it would be.
