[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3603414, member: 2844"]You could, but you wouldn't, because it doesn't look as perfect as stitched.:) On the circles above you see the light blue beads (with cobalt blue at the ends) are following the straight row pattern of the strips. The red and yellow are part-circles, radiating the way most stitched circles are, and the cobalt blue wedges are stitched as Vs. Personally I would have stitched all rows of the circle in the round, with the different colours on the same thread, but I am sure the maker had a specific reason for doing it the way she did. It looks accomplished. I agree. You can tell it is lazy stitch because the rows are a slightly wavy line, with each group of beads in a row 'sagging' a bit. In the photo below there is also a row which doesn't go all the way to the end, you wouldn't see that in loomwork. Lower left hand, seven rows from the left: [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/asash8-jpg.305978/[/IMG][/QUOTE]
