  • A little diagonal peyote stitch which combines increases and decreases can be worked up into a lovely little leaf shape, commonly called a Russian Leaf. Don't let it intimidate you! You can do this!

    Hi Jill, I just finished my first Russian leaf and I had to let you know that I was able to follow your instructions without pulling my hair out. Thank you sooooo much I'm thrilled, I have wasted so much time with other tutorials that do not give me the correct instructions as you do. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with all of us beginners it's much appreciated. Rebecca :)

    This turned out to be much easier than I expected - thanks to your instructions and demonstrations, which are always so clear and detailed. You are a great teacher. I went through the 'veins' of the leaf a couple of times, which stiffened them up a bit and made the earring a bit firmer. Thanks for another great tutorial :0)

    I just started beading during the pandemic shut down. I’m a nail tech in Tx. and we were closed for 6 weeks, ending in April ‘20. It’s late Aug. now and I’m ready to learn this new technique. One thing I positively LOVE is when she say “sticky outty. It makes me smile! I got nearly finished with the first side and realized I’d messed up so had to cut it all loose and I’m gonna give it another go. Great tutorial!

Now for the complaint I'm sure I knew the correct word before I subscribed to your Channel. Now I drive everyone mad by saying 'sticky outy' I don't even try the proper word anymore 'sticky outy' sounds so right...LOL. Peace Stella

    I'm an experienced beader, so when I decided I needed Russian Leaves with veins for a project I thought "no problem!" Well the problem was the book I purchased had a fatal flaw in the instructions! I tried for weeks and failed. When I looked up the same leaf online and located the problem, I made my leaf in 20 minutes! I've been making leaves ever since. My method uses enough thread to make the entire leaf, putting the stop bead in the center and then just flipping your work, removing the stop bead, and beginning on the other side. Thank you for your videos!! Peace, SC

    @The5thSphinx Před 9 lety +1

    Jill - LOVE you and your teaching skills! I can't tell you how much I've learned from you! :-) But I have to share this with you. I've found a much, Much, MUCH easier way to start the "Russian Leaf". Follow your instructions to the letter, except for the very beginning. Instead of starting off with a single strand of beads and adding the second row to begin peyote, start off with two needles - one at each end of your thread (of course) and do a strip of right-angle weave to the length you want!! The only change is that instead of crossing threads to complete each unit of RAW, take both threads through the final bead that completes the unit, then pick up with your instructions to begin the actual diagonal peyote. This also leaves a thread at the end of each side of the finished leaf that enables you to close the leaf and avoid having to sew back and forth down to the center to begin the other side. Works like a DREAM!!!!!

  • @bbartlett1055
    @bbartlett1055 Před 10 lety

    Love your videos. They are so clear. I have done the Russian Leaf with another video, but am going to try your video. I have found you can make these Russian leaves stand up by using a coat of Johnson Pledge Floor Care multi-surface finish. I paint these on with a brush and usually use 2 coats. For an earring this works wonderful. I have had so many compliments on the black and silver one I have made. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials. They are excellent!!

  • @atiyasperfecttreas
    @atiyasperfecttreas Před 10 lety +23

    I make & sell these a lot instead of weaving back down after you finish one diagonal side. If you make your thread long when putting on your stop bead just place it in the middle of the thread, then when you get to the other side just pull out your stop bead thread the needle on the thread & start your peyote down the middle row. :) I also dip mine in floor wax to make them stiff it dries clear never flakes :)
