So after years of experiments, samples, frustration, giving up and trying again, I'm finally happy with the method of beading these 3-dimensional geometric pieces.

Even though my original samples were made a good 5 years ago, and the first of my finished pieces at least 2 years ago, it's taken until now for me to have the time and space to sit down and properly devote myself to working on the idea until I came up with a better way of beading them.

The original versions, whilst they looked good, weren't satisfying to me to bead. They seemed overly complicated, fiddly and frustrating and I figured there had to be a better way to do it.

Fortunately there was and I'm now racing along beading new pieces and getting to create all those variations I wanted to make but was too frustrated to attempt.
