Talisman Pendant

~ Workshop Information ~

Weave an intricate pendant with coiled CRAW! This piece features beaded components stitched using coiled cubic right-angle weave, a CRAW technique that naturally twists and coils based on its thread path. Bicone crystals and O beads embellish the coiled CRAW components, which all surround a large focal crystal. A drop crystal finishes the pendant, which is accompanied by an elegant twisty beaded chain.

If you’re looking to expand and grow your CRAW repertoire, this class is for you. We’ll learn how to stitch coiled CRAW in both the clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, and how to create embellished twisty components that use both versions of this technique. We’ll also use modified right-angle weave (MRAW) and the fringe technique to finish the pendant.

Prerequisites: Students should be experienced with CRAW and comfortable working with size 15° seed beads. Experience with coiled CRAW is helpful, but not required.

Skill level: Advanced.
