<p>[QUOTE="JulieMoria, post: 3603126, member: 18556"]Looking at the one above I am not sure how they accomplished that because it does look like loom work, (all the beads are lined up evenly). When I make medallions (not very good at it yet, mine come out loose and wonky, I mostly stick to the straight pieces, but I keep practicing!) the beads end up in circular pattern. You don't do that on a loom but by hand. It's hard to explain. </p><p>But yeah circles are done by hand by starting with a reinforcement (a beading foundation which is like a thin but stiff felt) and 7 or so beads and threading them through each other to make a small tight circle. When you want to go to the next row, you tie off the former and then bring the needle up through the reinforcement and start all over again.</p><p>Probably not explaining so good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
