Temari Crystal Ball

I had this bright idea that I would try to teach you guys how to make a temari crystal ball. It soon became apparent to me that no matter how hard I tried to keep things simple it just wasn't happening. So for those who dare to try, here are my sucky instructions. And for those who don't, here are some boring repetitive pictures.

Supplies: 30 bicone beads, 1-1/2 foot monofiliament (suji), cell phone dumahichi cord (I forget what you call it) and bell.

Cut yourself a 1-1/2 foot length of suji.

Attach bell to cell phone dumahichi. The rule of thumb throughout the lesson is 1) add beads on the left, 2)crisscross last bead added and 3) anchor on the right.

1) Add 5 beads and crisscross last bead. Position cluster in center of line so you have an equal amount of suji on each side. 2) Add 4 beads.
Crisscross last bead.
Anchor through one bead on the right.

It should look like this. 3) Add on 3 beads, crisscross last bead and anchor through one bead on the right.

It should look like this. 4) Now do exactly as in step 3: Add on 3 more beads, crisscross last bead and anchor through one bead on the right.

5) Add on 3 beads, crisscross last bead and anchor through TWO beads on the right.

It should look like this.

6) Add on two beads, crisscross last bead and anchor to one bead on the right.

It should look like this.

7) Add on three beads, crisscross last bead and anchor to TWO beads on the right.

It should look like this.

8) Add on two beads, crisscross last bead and anchor to TWO beads on the right. It should look like this.
Sorry but the curvature of the now-forming ball prevented me from getting any usable photos for this part, but it continues:

9) Add 2 beads, crisscross last bead and anchor to TWO beads on the right.

10) Add 2 beads, crisscross last bead and anchor to THREE beads on the right.

You should end up looking like this.
11) Finally, add one bead and crisscross.

Put your cell phone dumahichi with bell into the middle and tighten the suji to enclose the bell. I then feed the two ends of the suji through the bead pukas to encircle the top and tighten the bell. I make a knot and again feed the loose ends through some more pukas before I snip it.
If you got this far . . . CONGRATULATIONS!! You're done!
