Hyperbolic Beading
February 12, 2011
I totally stole this from Jade.
This is a 4 layer hyperbolic plane. By the second layer, it couldn’t lie flat, and by the 4th layer, the time required to complete a layer was getting on towards infinity. I think I spent about three hours on this thing.
I ran out of dark blue beads (I thought I had infinity. apparently not!)

Wooo!
It looks like you made yours with thread? And actual seed beads, not the slightly larger kind like I used. How’d you get the thread through them? I didn’t have a needle small enough.
Also, did you have a pattern for the 4th layer, or work it out? Mine only had 3, though I’ve been intending to try one with 4. I’ve been to lazy to draw out the diagram for it though.

I have beading thread, seed beads, and beading needles. Beading needles are really long, really thin needles that only work with skinny beading thread because they’re that thin!
I just worked out the 4th layer- it’s just like all the others.
