WIP Russian Leaf Done in Peyote - Part 1

Most often you see the Russian Leaf pattern done in St Petersburg chain stitch. But done in peyote with Delica's they have an elegant look to them. They are not hard at all, and if you are making something that requires a lot of separate leaves, it's almost boring - lol. I'll do a tutorial on the individual leaf shortly. I find that using the black matte beads for tut's works best for photos :).
For lack of a better term, each leaf is sort of a chevron. I've made 6 of them here and they are
joined together. Then the last one is brought around and joined to the first one forming a circle.
Hmmm, I just noticed if I had stopped at 5 points, I'd would have had a nice star - another project!

Triangle Tutorial Part 2

Here is the next row. Two peyote beads are in this round. And each round will increase
the peyote section and the overall size of the triangle.
You can make all kinds of patterns in the peyote section.

Triangle Tutorial Part 1

BasiC instruction for a triangle. The are a combination of peyote stitch and herringbone.
Begin with stringing 3 beads and tying in a circle. Pass the needle through the first bead
and add 2 beads (these 2 become the herringbone). Pass the needle through the next bead and add 2, pass through the 3 bead and add 2. Pass the needle through the first bead
added above that is the first bead of the herringbone stitch.
