#beading — Public Fediverse posts

These diagrams show how to weave a puffy triangle beaded bead with peyote stitch and seed beads. If you want to make a longer beaded bead, using cellular automata on the sides, I recommend starting and ending that on the rounds of all blue beads.

Nothing brings me joy quite like a new strand of matching beaded beads. After drawing the diagrams for the flat triangle beaded beads, I stitched a whole strand. This strand features 9 different beaded beads in graduated sizes and a rainbow of colors. The largest bead in the center has a design created with cellular automata as described in my new book “Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch.” I used the algorithm called Dot Arrays with a cycle of period three. The beads are light and hollow, and they make a pleasing clink when they knock together.

Now the other side also has a bit of a pattern. I mucked with the photo settings a bit to try to pick up the iridescence of the beads.

OKAY! I have a question!

Who would like to sponsor me and help with my business?

All you have to do is chip in with my Ko-Fi, and it will be turned into beads, rhinestones, and other shop supplies.

I will post said supplies on my Telegram page so you'll know they're not being used for other things (unless noted!)

Some bead lace based on a pattern of dodecagons.

I have made bead lace before by crocheting through beads, but this piece was done with beading needles.

A beaded bead made with peyote stitch and cellular automata fits perfectly into its matching box. #mathart #beading #cellularautomata #algorithms

@DesertLilyArtistry I had to reexamine the strands I had beaded and remember how I did them to appreciate your approach.

This is cellular automata on a staggered grid, like we use for beaded peyote stitch. I call this algorithm Stained Glass, which I describe on pages 49-51 in my new book. #math #mathart #generative #beading

The #beading thing all started when she started buying beads from a local clearance place to bling up this Queer Brewing back, which is now very fabulous.

One of Kat's new hobbies is #beading — she made this neck thingy (my own terminology— choker?collar?) which is pretty amazing.

Today my new book “Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch” hit number one in “mathematical and statistical new releases” on Amazon. Thank you friends!!!! (You can also get it directly from the publisher, World Scientific, with 30% off using the code RECMATH30) #mathart #math #cellularautomata #beading

@gwenbeads Thank you so much for the notice and discount code! Being an extreme novice in mathematics I am a bit wary but when I read the time and devotion you took to write this...how could one not considering purchasing it. Going to follow #beading and other tags. ☀️

We found so much to include that the book ended up a full third longer than I had originally planned. It took years longer than I originally expected. But it was a labor of love, a passion project, something we made because we wanted to make something beautiful and inspiring. I can hardly believe it’s finally finished. I hope you will love it too.

Link to order the book: https://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/14357#t=aboutBook

There’s a 30% off code

It’s preorder. The release date is the end of February. 2/2

Twelve years. I started this project twelve years ago, and today I hold the result in my hand. It’s a book that combines bead weaving with math called, “Beading with Algorithms: Cellular Automata in Peyote Stitch.” With help from mathematician and artist Roger Antonsen, graphic designer Zelda Lin, a handful of talented proof readers, and the good people from World Scientific Publishing Company, my dream of combining my loves of math, art, and teaching into a book is finally a reality.

This book is the first of its kind, a recipe book of algorithms that can be used and combined to generate colorful patterns in peyote stitch beadwork in any size and shape you desire. These algorithms could also be applied to other pixelated art forms like tile laying, embroidery, crochet, and quilts. We included projects like bracelets, pill pouches, pendants, beaded beads, and key chains. We also included a bunch of different grids that you can photocopy and color with markers.

Of course I’m biased, but I think it’s a really beautiful book. We included multiple colorful images on almost every page, 172 pages in all. It was a huge layout challenge, but Zelda nailed it. My original goal was to write 128 pages on how to use algorithms to make beaded jewelry, but the more we explored the space, the more we found. Not just millions of algorithms, the space of possibilities is infinite. So of course, we couldn’t include them all. But we used math and Roger’s custom software that he wrote for this project to help us find dozens of the easiest algorithms and more than a hundred more in increasing levels of complexity. We included all of our favorites. 1/2

The cup and saucer pattern is called Magic Jungle, by Sakura, and it's from 1995.

To much of my surprise and delight, 14mm rhinestones (rivolis and chatons) are really the magic size for inlaid hexagonal peyote. I shall explain.

The formula for regular (round) beaded bezels is 2.5x, x being the diameter of the rhinestone. The result is how many 11/0 Delica seed beads you start off with—if the result is odd, we choose the next even number. For the 14mm stones, the end result is 35, but we round up to 36.

Now, 36 is really a neat number. It's a multiple of two, three, four, six, nine, twelve, and eighteen. After we finish with the regular bezel we have a chance to embellish the edge. Peyote works so that there is half of the original number to bead on per row, so that is 18 beads to sew on the edge.

If we mark each third stitch with a different color, and use a slower increase than the traditional herringbone increase, we get a flat, slightly curving inlaid hexagonal icon that we can use for anything really. In my case, I'm doing this for this year's Battle of the Beadsmith. As the photo shows, I have so much more to go.

Squeezed some beadwork in this spring! Border on the flower pattern is uneven, but it’s a mistake easily avoided next time. The brown bg on the lanternfly ended up being more red than I anticipated, so I’ll try a blue bg next time. Hopefully it will make the pattern pop more.
