After the five and eight strand plaiting last month I thought I would settle with some "easy" three strand braid when I introduced beads. Experimenting with threading beads at different intervals in the plait produced some interesting and quite different results. I like the glass beads with the silver wire especially when the light is shining on them. Here are three variations:
Small round beads make a very tight, neat braid. Here the beads were threaded on every time a wire crossed another.
Oval beads make a nice open design. The beads here were also threaded on every time a wire was crossed.
In this case oval beads were only threaded on when the wire crossed to the right so all the beads point in the same direction.
