Russian Rope - Intermediate Level

RussianRope3
A Russian Rope is fun, fast and easy (once you have done the start!) and is suitable for all levels of beaders. It produces a distinct spiral pattern that is more pronounced and finer than the same number of beads on a Peyote Spiral. You can experiment with making it finer or fatter simply by reducing or increasing the start beads. This rope is particularly good as a base for embellishment. Your instructions are in full colour with step by step photos.
