I love the peyote pattern, but sometimes it is nice to make some variations on it.
On the photo you see a detail from one of my Freeform Peyote items where the pink beads form a ‘Peyote-1 drop’ pattern, but the orange and gold part is worked in with a combination of ‘Peyote-1 drop’ and ‘Peyote-2 drop’: the golden beads are wider than the golden, so I made a ‘Peyote-1 drop’ for the golden beads and a ‘Peyote-2 drop’ for the orange beads.
