Treble and Bass Clefs
Treble and Bass Clefs
Make music with beads! Use CRAW and PRAW and a handful of seed beads and crystals to stitch the classic musical symbols: the treble and bass clefs. Each piece features several units of cubic and prismatic right-angle weave stitched side-by-side to make the finished clefs, and a simple bail turns the clefs into pendants. These clefs are perfect for all fans of music! Wear them on your favorite chain, cord, or silk ribbon.
This advanced pattern is appropriate for beaders who are already experienced in stitching cubic right-angle weave and who would like the challenge of combining individual CRAW and PRAW units together. Beaders who have stitched the Snowflake Pendant, the Peace and Double Hearts, or the Music Notes are in great shape to try this design. This pattern describes how to make both the Treble and Bass Clefs!
