After I got my hands on the elusive “white-cover”
Russian beading book (
Art of Bead Weaving
by Maya
Anufrieva), I went on a beading bender, eagerly
trying out new stitches. This happy outcome takes
its fabulous twirl from a stitch called “Russian spiral
weave,” a netting variant. But the streamlined style
and vibrant colors are sheer American exuberance
brought to bear on this Old-World technique.

Start a 3-yd (2.7m) length of thread

Leaving a 1-yd. (.9m) tail, sew

desired length. For the necklace at right,
I changed bead colors every 1

alternated 1

To close up the tube, stitch the last

Sew around the tube, following the
thread path of the netting, and exit the

round of peyote over the new beads

. Sew through the tube as before
(d–e)
. Increase to two-drop peyote in the
fourth round.

Continue alternating a row of single
bead peyote with a row of two-drop
until the ring is the desired size. I usually
work six to eight rounds. Secure the
thread in the beadwork and trim.
