Hi,

this is the weekly chat corner. Come and talk about anything Star Wars you'd like.

No thoughts, Crow's brain is toast. I hope you're all having a nice summer (or winter, if you're on the other side of the planet).

Today I came across some references to making hex quilts by starting with circles and folding the sides. This approach works great with hand-sewing.

Current Music: Dire Straits - Money for Nothing

I saw a series of photos on Pinterest that looked straightforward enough. Bead three colors into loops (so put on however many you want, thread a bead with both strings, then add an even number onto either string and thread a bead with both strings, repeat) and then weave.

It was easier in theory.

After I figured it out, I found an actual tutorial by Amanda Rivera on Panda Hall. 🙄🙄🙄

The beads are glass seed beads, size 8. I bought those; the thread, chain, and clasps and rings were previously cannibalized from other things.

Overall, it was easy. I think my loops may be a bit too small, and I know my beads are not a uniform size. The blue beads had some absolute units. If they were all the same size, I might have a neater looking braid, but oh well. Who's going to look so close?

What I'd like to find is a Slovenia charm to add to it. Red, white, and blue can be many countries, but I wanna be explicit in representing my maternal parentage.
