So many new shapes of beads have entered the market in the past couple of years and so far I've mainly steered away from them. The main reason for this is I have a life-times worth of projects in my mind for just Delicas and seed beads so other beads don't always get much of a look in!

But recently I wanted to play around with a different shape and combine it with my geometric work to see if it gave the work a different look and excitingly it has.

I'm keeping exactly what I've made underwraps for the moment but 2 projects will appear in Geometric Beadwork Volume 2 and 2 will be classes the dates for which I'll be adding on here soon.

For my first project I have kept the colours in the grey/ grey-blue palette with Delica 321 as the main bead and Tilas in greys and turquoise as the highlights.
