This Garlic Knot Bead (right), a sculptural peyote bead, is constructed without an armature.  The bead technique itself allows the bead to hold its shape.  I call it The Garlic Knot because it reminds me of the garlic knot rolls served at restaurants.

Another example of the Garlic Knot Beaded Necklace.  I have included one of my “Zip Beads” between each Garlic Knot Beaded Bead.
