Nautilus Pendant Beadweaving Tutorial
A PDF TUTORIAL for my Nautilus Beadwoven Pendant in ENGLISH.
This piece uses Right Angle Weave (RAW), modified RAW (MRAW) and Peyote stitch to beadweave a striking Nautilus Shell using just seed beads (Miyuki) and two 14mm Rivolis. This 28 page tutorial contains a full materials list for the main piece, with bead numbers for 6 different tested colourways, and every step is fully illustrated with a detailed diagram showing thread paths etc, as well as being written out clearly (in English) with photos where appropriate. Notes are included to guide you in making three optional variations, including a mini version and a sea urchin, and I've included colouring in sheets to help you with your colour choices and placements. The finished size of the main piece is roughly 60x52x22mm.
The tutorial will available through PayHip for you to download as a PDF as soon as possible after PayHip detects a cleared payment.

If you'd like to check bead requirements before purchasing and view exact quantities go to my website theindecisivebeader.com and select 'requirements for my tutorials' under the Tutorials Shop heading.
You'll also need beadweaving needles, beadweaving thread (I prefer Miyuki or KO thread), scissors.
As a beader who designs and sells largely to support my own out of control bead buying habit, you may make from my tutorials to sell (in small quantities only) so you can buy lots more beads (and tutorials), but please ensure you give me full credit as designer.
Please do respect my rights as a designer and do not pass finished pieces off as your own design, teach the design, or reproduce this tutorial or the images in it in any way.Thank you!
