Bead patterns - Elder Futhark
Hello.
I hope that a post with an image is acceptable. I'm cutting, just in case.
I make bead patterns for flat Peyote stitch. I use size 'o' thread and Delica beads to actually stitch up the design before posting them. I've just finished the full set of the Elder Futhark and posted the patterns in my LJ gallery.
This type of work is extremely time intensive, so I'm posting the patterns and asking for donations.
Each rune is a separate 2.5 x 3.5 cm. tile which took me approximately 2 hours to bead. Since this will be a working set, I went around the edges again in a looping pattern for strength.
I didn't count how much time the patterns took to plan beforehand, so I'm not sure how long it took me to decide on how to place the four dot 'frame' on each tile. I always wanted the dots denoting row and placement, however.
This gallery will be added to as I finish pieces. I will say that Matte Delicas eat #15 needles, at least with these.
Thank You.

I didn't realize that I wasn't the only person who has issues with JL's gallery feature sometimes. I've uploaded the images to Flickr. This is a new account, so my donate buttons don't show up there, yet.
