beaded shapes in peyote stitch

beaded sphere (Temari beads) instructions

A great book about dimensional jewelry in peyote stitch is the ''Shaped Beadwork & beyond'' by Diane Fitzgerald. The beaded ball of Diane Fitzgerald was inspired by the Temari balls, popular japanese toys, which turned into a traditional art form. A Temari bead is composed by twenty triangles, each triangle is usually formed by four rows (picture 1) picture 1  picture2 Zip due to connector beads, five triangles together,  to form a pentagon (picture 3) picture 3  Zip the next five triangles to the pentagon, to form a star, and obtain half temari bead (pictures 4-5) picture 4a picture 4b picture 4c picture 4d picture 5a picture5b Make an identical star, add connector beads (picture 6),  picture 6 and zip the two pieces together as in pictures 7 picture 7a picture 7b picture 7c picture 7d
