//-->GoodquestionCan tubular peyote provide form and function?by Mary Lou AllenUsing a wire armature provides a shapable core support for beadwork and opens up awhole new realm of possibilities. I love to design with large focal beads and wirewrapped pendants, but I found that even 20-gauge wire and peyote tubes with size 80beads weren’t substantial enough to successfully highlight the larger pieces. While rummagingaround in the basement, I came across some electrical wire and knew I was on to something.Using even-count tubular peyote, I beaded a tube around the wire. Once the ends were closed,I was able to form the wire into a necklace that would hold it’s shape and still remain light andflexible enough to take on and off without a clasp. Success!stepbystepBead a peyote tube around awire core and close the ends.Create a focal bead danglewith a fringe tassle and attachto one end. Add anotherdangle to the other end, ifdesired. Shape the necklaceinto a wearable design.getting startedIf you are new to tubular (orcircular) peyote, take a lookat Basics on page 166. Manybeaders prefer to do thisstitch without anythinginside the tube, but beadingaround the wire enables youto keep your stitches tight,yet flexible enough to bend.Electrical wire with blackplastic coating is available athome improvement centers.Unlike metal wire, which issized in gauges according todiameter, electrical wire isgiven an AWG number. I use#6AWG wire, which is stiffenough to hold its shape andhappens to fit perfectly insidea peyote tube with this beadcount.Unless you already havebolt cutters at home, bringyour measurements to thestore and have them cut thewire for you. The necklacefeaturing a Kevin O’Gradybead (on the left) is 21-in.(.53m) long without thedangle. The purple exampleon the right, with beads byAlethia Donathan, is 24-in.(.61m) long without dangles.peyote tubeThread a needle with 2yd. (1.8m) of Fireline orNymo. If you’re using Nymo,double your thread andcondition it with beeswax orThread Heaven.Leaving a 10-in. (.25m)tail, string twelve beads in thefollowing order: two color A(size 60), two color B (size80), two color C (size 80), twocolor A, two color B, and twocolor C.Tie these beads in a ringusing a surgeon’s knot (see“Basics”). Place the ring overthe wire. Keep your thumbon the tail as you bead thefirst few rows so it doesn’t getwoven into the tube.Start at the knot, andworking from right to left, gothrough the first A bead inthe ring. Pick up one A andgo through the first B. Pickup one B and go through thefirst C. Pick up one C and gothrough the first A (figure1).Continue around until youcome to the first A.To “step up” to the nextrow, go through the first Aon the ring and the A youadded in step 4.
