  • Bead Crochet Bracelets: What Would Escher Do?
    Bridges 2012: Mathematics, Music, Art, Architecture, Culture Bead Crochet Bracelets: What Would Escher Do? Ellie Baker Lexington, MA 02421, USA E-mail: [email protected] Susan Goldstine* Department of Mathematics and Computer Science St. Mary’s College of Maryland 18952 E. Fisher Rd St. Mary’s City, MD 20686, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The popular handcraft of bead crochet produces elegant toroidal bracelets that are visually appealing and easy to wear. Designing bead crochet patterns is surprisingly challenging because of the arrangement of beads into a continuous spiral around the torus. In this paper, we present bracelets that we have designed in the style of M.C. Escher’s tessellations. Each bracelet pattern consists of interlocking copies of a single shape, and we include patterns designed using a powerful new technique for extracting bracelet patterns from planar tilings, along with strategies for creating more patterns. Our Design Challenge Bead crochet is an increasingly popular craft, and bead crochet rope bracelets (shown below in Figures 2, 3, 7, and 11) are particularly elegant in their seamless construction. However, creating symmetric color patterns on bead crochet bracelets is uniquely challenging among bead crafts because of the particular geometry of the beaded surface, as described in the following section. As a result, many existing patterns are based on a few simple known motifs derived from one or two well‐understood flat pattern layouts. The bracelets presented here stem from a design challenge we set ourselves inspired by the tessellation artwork of M.C. Escher, who adapted his own designs from planes to spheres, polyhedra, and cylinders.

A ABALONE These edible sea creatures are members of a large class of molluscs that have one piece shells with an iridescent interior. These shells have a low and open spiral structure, and are characterized by several open respiratory pores in a row near the shell’s outer edge. The thick inner layer of the shell is composed of a dichroic substance called nacre or mother-of-pearl, which in many species is highly iridescent, giving rise to a range of strong and changeable colors, making it ideal for jewellery and other decorative objects. Iridescent nacre varies in colour from silvery white, to pink, red and green- red, through to deep blues, greens, and purples. Read more in our Gemstones & Minerals Glossary. Above are examples of Paua and Red Abalone.

  • How to Do Brick Stitch
    How To Make a Wrapped Loop on a Head Pin Here are some simple instructions on making a wrapped loop on a head pin. This technique can be handy for making basic earrings, adding drops from a necklace or bracelet, and many other cool beadwork applications. Difficulty: Easy Time Required: 20 minutes Here's How: 1. Place beads or other objects on the head pin, making sure they go all the way down the shaft, and that the head of the pin is flush with the bead. 2. Using a pair of chainnose pliers, bend the wire right next to the bead away from you at a right angle. 3. Grasp the bent wire with your round nose pliers just beyond the bend. Pull the end of the wire back around the tip of the pliers. Go all the way around and make a loop around the tip of the pliers, until the wire points in the other direction. 4. Now that you have the loop formed, you may slip the chain, ear wire or other finding into the loop, so that you will be closing the wrapped loop with the item attached. 5. Grasp the top of the loop with your round nose pliers to hold it steady while you use your chainnose pliers to grasp the remaining free wire and wrap it twice around the wire below the loop. 6. Cut the remaining wire flush with the work, and press it against the wire gently, using the tip of your chainnose pliers. 7. Use a small file to clean any rough edges from the cut.
