Beads are my passion and beading cannot be done without maths. This
necklace lacy "web" was made with "not so free"-form Right Angle
Weave. Seed beads were added in loops of 11 or multiples of 11 seed
beads exclusively, as a wink to binary code. It represents groups of
beaders connected with one another around the world thanks to the
bridges of the Internet, the world wide web, to offer mutual
encouragement and share knowledge, transcending cultures, which is
what beaders do. The bridges were made with multiples of 11 too. The
challenge was to obtain a lace that lies beautifully around the neck
and to find proper connecting areas for the crystal-embellished
bridges with this restrictive denominator and see what lines would
be obtained.
