The Russian Spiral stitch was the first beadweaving class that I took and I've been addicted ever since. There are so many different materials and designs that can be created with this one pattern. A few examples:
This is a Chakra bracelet using the 7 colors of the chakra system
A Russian Spiral using 3mm Swarovski crystals and size 15 seed beads
Russian Spiral with Hex beads and size 11 seed beads
