TUTORIAL:

This ring is beaded from the basic six-bead-flower motif as seen from the front. However, you will learn, in this tutorial how to expand on this basic motif to form a dome-like cabochon.

Well, depending on which side you are looking at, on the other side, it also looks like a bowl or even basket! LOL.....

CREDITS: Throughout the years that I have been doing Japanese style beadwork, I've come to learn that Japanese beadwork, is predominantly on Right Angle Weave and heavily diagram based. I've also noticed that many have been having difficulty in understanding the diagram and hence I’ve interpreted the diagram, do any modification if necessary and present it in a way that would be easier for students to learn and understand the weave.
