After I got my hands on the elusive “white-cover”
Russian beading book ( Art of Bead Weaving by Maya
Anufrieva), I went on a beading bender, eagerly
trying out new stitches. This happy outcome takes
its fabulous twirl from a stitch called “Russian spiral
weave,” a netting variant. But the streamlined style
and vibrant colors are sheer American exuberance
brought to bear on this Old-World technique.

I changed bead colors every 1 1 2 in.

beads with 1 4 in. (6mm) of various colors.

work six to eight rounds. Secure the
