Tdddaaaaa,Cross Of Agadez
Well i cant beleive i have made this one,when i bought Diane Fitzgeralds book Dimensional Peyote i knew i was peyote impaired,but a wonderful design and lots of work and i have it.
The parts are done in steel delicas 021 with olivine glass cabs all bought from Beadaholique on US ebay,with the aus dollar worth just over half US things are pricier but i get what i want there.
The first square took me ages to get right and then things got a little faster,the trick is not to miss youre step up in the peyote and get the corner beads to sit right.
Dave calls this the medals of the order of the crafty people as he says they look like medals,i just gaze at it and think "i did That" the cry of satisfied beaders across the globe.

Your Cross of Agadez is beautiful. I love Diane's book, but haven't been brave enough to take on this project.
What a challenge that must have been. Great job!
