Pink Ice Cubes Right Angle Weave Bracelet
When I picked up the April/May 2009 issue of Beadwork, I leaped right into making these funky right angle weave squares by Marcia DeCoster. This is the first time I’ve tried three-dimensional right angle weave. I can see a lot of potential for embellishing work with extra colour and texture. Right angle weave is becoming a new favorite for me.
As usual, I changed the design a bit. Instead of six squares strung on elastic (which I find tends to stretch and grow!), I made three squares and brick stitch terminals to accommodate the multiple strands . Best of all, I found a use for some glass cube beads I bought a year ago!
Sistren Casey,
I am so glad you were inspired to make this. I like your interpretation better than the original. It is feminine, but bold at the same time. Not an easy thing to achieve!
Bless Up,

Thanks Lady Roots, I’m glad you think so. I like both versions, but I found 6 blocks too…well, blocky. Also, I like to get things done quickly so I can move on to my next project.
