Bead a 3-D Beaded Turtle with Flat Round Peyote Stitch

From Paula S. Morgan, former About.com Guide

The belly of the turtle is a little more complicated, but not too bad. Start by doing 6 rows of Flat Round Peyote with a 6 bead base. Then do a seventh row, but skip adding the two beads indicated by the x's on the graph. Make sure your work is oriented to match the graph. Then work your way around once more adding the first row of light green beads shown on the graph. Now add the legs and tail using Odd-Count Flat Peyote.
