African netting beadwork forms a beautiful lacy beading pattern that looks fragile, but is, in fact, very strong and supple. The beadwork is a complex weave of beads that comes together in diagonal lines forming diamond shapes and peaks and valleys at the ends of each column. This necklace pattern repeats a four column vertical netting design mutliple times to create a necklace collar. This type of necklace may have originated in tribes in Africa, thus the name African net. Traditionally, collars of this type may use multiple bright colors of beads used to accentuate the rows or pattern of the beadwork. However, it is easier to learn the stitch pattern if you use a single color of beads. There is a lot of counting involved in keeping the pattern correct. Once you are familiar with the pattern, then it can be time to branch out into using different colors. This tutorial will teach you to make the section of African Net beadwork. To make it simple, the instructions divide the section of African Net into four columns of beadwork, a left section which has the first loop drop, a center section which ends in a 3 bead picot, a right section that mirrors the left one in shape and a connector bridge which is a small swag that joins each three column shape together. Once you complete the first complete section of African net, you will return to the first step of the instructions and make more netted sections until your netted beadwork is long enough to make a necklace. The necklace in the first picture is twenty netted section and just over 14 inches long. African netting beadwork can be made with a wide variety of beads. The effect of the collar will be slightly different depending on the beads you choose. Japanese beads that are very even in size will give more precise results. Uneven glass beads will give a more organic, less even look to your beadwork. The necklace collar and step by step instructions both use size 11 Toho round beads. The collar uses transparent light topaz beads with an opaque lavender lining. They are beautiful beads with subtle coloration but I don't recommend you start with beads like these. A matte finish solid color opaque bead like you see in the instructions works best for beginners. It is easier to differentiate between the beads and see the holes - which is very important with this stitch. Make sure you have at least 30-40 grams of beads before you start this project. For thread, you can use a nylon thread prepared for stitching like Nymo or a fishing line like FireLine. FireLine will result in a stiffer necklace while Nymo will result in a soft draping weave of beadwork. Both are strong, but Nymo is more likely to stretch. Choose a beading needle for the size thread and beads you are using. Tulip beading needles in size 11 seem to work for most tasks. want to know more? for further information and details, download this now and grab what you want. please enjoy this application and give us any feedback.
