Beadweaver Peyote Triangles
Read full descriptionHide full description
See your earrings before you stitch a single bead. Preview Mode renders your peyote triangle designs in true 3D, with real seed-bead finishes like matte, opaque, transparent, silver-lined, gold-lined, metallic, luster, and AB/iris. You can spin it, light it, and know you’ll love it, before you ever pick up a needle. When you're ready to bead, the app reads your pattern to you. No more squinting at a printed chart, and losing your place. Press "Make" and the app announces each bead, by color name, letter, or number. Your current bead glows so you always know where you are. Pair the app with a Bluetooth foot pedal (a "page turner") to advance beads completely hands-free and keep beading without ever putting your work down. No pedal? A simple tap works, too. Have you ever wanted to create peyote triangle earrings but felt overwhelmed getting started? We've made it so much easier. No more designing on bead graph paper or buying patterns that aren't quite what you want. Undo and redo any change, and set real-world bead dimensions and spacing for an accurate preview. Build a template of triangle sizes from 0-5 rows in Free mode or 0-25 rows with the Premium unlock for the top and bottom of the left and right earring. Add connector beads to join the top and bottom triangles, and make them part of your design. You can also choose single right and left triangles if you want to create a pair of small or statement earrings. The app automatically mirrors the front of the earring onto the back for a true 3D look. Color theory is built right into the palette generator. Add a single color, or generate complementary, split-complementary, triadic, analogous, and tetradic palettes from a simple dropdown. Add up to 255 colors, and your last 100 colors are saved to history to reuse anytime. Change a color in the palette, and your design updates in real time. It's genuinely fun to see how different colors and bead finishes look in different proportions and placements. Fine-tune any color with Generate Shades and Shift Hue. Design faster with Reflect and Copy. Bead just one third of the triangle, then copy that section to all the others. Use Reflect to flip the design to the other side. It even mirrors for easy asymmetrical patterns. Copy is a lifesaver for intricate designs you'd otherwise have to replicate bead by bead. Use the View menu to focus on the front, back, left, or right earring. Reset recenters the view if you zoom too far, and you can change the design background color so darker beads are easy to see. Save your designs to the app and they stay on your device, ready in a scrollable gallery whenever you're ready to bead. Up to 3 designs with Free mode or unlimited designs with the Premium unlock. Link multiple color palettes to the same design, and export or back up your work so your patterns are always yours. Beadweaver Peyote Triangles was created out of love: my love of beading and my husband's love for me and efficiency. ;) I showed him my original, painstaking design process, and he helped me build an easier, faster way. This app was made for me, but now I'm delighted to share it with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Pay for the one-time Premium unlock for more rows, up to 25, and unlimited saved designs!
