Technique is similar to three-dimensional "cross", but the node is not 4, but 3 beads. Literally "pulling" a single bead, we obtain a new scheme. Its advantage is that the products are very durable due to the dense arrangement of beads and a large number of connections between them.
Let's try to weave a small ball. Will be more beautiful if its weave of large seed beads or bugle beads. For a start nanium on the line 3 beads and tie the knot:
Choose one bead for the main and probleem two beads (marked dark):
All these sectors should be 5. The view from the top:
Further, for convenience, not interested in beads will be used to denote a light gray color. We consider only two sectors:
For the convenience of the Central (main) bead I have outlined in dark grey color.
Between these sectors will ititem another bead (new threads and beads - dark):
So you need to braid all sectors. I usually do this at the same time for 4 passes in the circumferential direction (the beads are inserted only on the first two). Here the main thing – not to lose the direction of traversal.
Finally, we obtain the following scheme (top and bottom looks the same):
We got the main item, of these will be almost any product in this technique of weaving. By the way, these stars look good, for example, on a small table Christmas tree.
Look at her more closely:
We see the same pattern as in the fourth figure!
Will Deplete the remaining 2 sectors and get the two coupled elements. So, doplata new items (should be 12), we get a small ball.
You can concatenate the elements in a different way to the total of neighboring elements had only one bead. Then the ball will be larger.
Unfortunately, I have neither photos nor the possibility of their making in the near future, but I hope the opportunity arises. Sorry for the poor pictures, they were drawn in Paint, I don't know {:-( I have always Painted bad. The color coding is for convenience.
