* The seed bead world has been offering me a lot of inspiration recently. Quite a bit has happened since my "absence". Especially, I have gotten inspired by a lot of bangles I have seen online. So, I have planned to start a bangle but I know that the first two rows of peyote with a bunch of beads can be difficult. But then I remembered that the Peyote Starter Strip can be helpful in this case. However, I have also discovered the books and the website called Contemporary Geometric Beadwork. I have ordered the books but I have only the digital versions at hand currently. In the books the MRAW bellyband is described. And I thought why not practise this technique and use it as something like a peyote starter strip at the same time.
* Es stellte sich heraus dass der Anfang des Armreifs dann aber doch zu weit geworden war. Außerdem war das Farbschema zu gleichartig. Also nahm ich die entsprechende Anzahl an Perlen ab (siehe Bilder unten) und nutzte diesen enger gemachten Armreif als Peyote Starter Strip für einen neuen Anfang.
* It has turned out that the beginning of the bangle has become too wide. Plus the colour scheme was too homogenous. So, I decreased the corresponding number of beads (see pictures below) and used this narrowed-down bangle als a peyote starter strip for a new beginning.
