Byzantine nights

INSPIRATIONS: Byzantine nights was inspired by richly layered gold decorations of the Byzantine era.

SKILL LEVEL: Suitable for beadweavers with experience of the stitches used.

STITCHES: This project uses a combination of many types of stitches and beads – netting and right angle weave are all used to create the components that are made individually and then joined together to create the bracelet. Design decisions taken in the workshop will allow the bracelet to be personalised.
