The Plum Egg beaded bead is an egg-shaped cluster woven using a technique similar to right angle weave. Inspired by the origami of Rona Gurkewitz and Bennett Arnstein, this beaded bead is in the shape of a truncated hexadecahedron; a polyhedron that contains 16 hexagons, eight pentagons, and two squares. This design is an ideal size for a beaded pendant, and its holes are large enough so that it can be strung through a narrow cord. Weave one of these eggs to celebrate Easter in the springtime, or weave it in the fall to mark the start of the American football season.
