"My Garden" Beaded Kaleidocycle

"My Garden" is my version of a beaded kaleidocycle.The beaded kaleidocycle is worked in Peyote stitch using size 11/0 Delica beads. It is made using six beaded triangles of each of my four original designs, totaling 24 triangles. The finished kaleidocycle measures 2 ¾” across. The method for joining the triangles is easy and creates smooth working beaded hinges. I have a pattern for the kaleidocycle in my Etsy store. This beaded toy is fun to make and to play with. See my you tube video for a demonstration of "My Garden" kaleidocycle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN6KtYCzTco
