Beaded Strap with Geometric Shapes

Ira Blount · late 20th-early 21st Century

Two black arrows outlined in blue, red, yellow, and green at either end of this beaded strap point toward a central diamond design. A blue line splits the diamond into two triangles, while blue, red, and white beads further bisect the polygon into even smaller triangles. The motif is continued around the border, with stacked rectangular shapes adorning the top and bottom. This beadwork explores how geometric shapes can create seemingly infinite design possibilities.
