So this has been my way of coping with my husband religiously watching the World Cup - my first beaded kaleidocycle featuring the four seasons. The whole thing is constructed from 4 sets of 6 triangles with a pattern of pink irises, swirls, honey-combs and cracked ice respectively - 24 triangles in total. They are connected by rows of neutral-tinted beads and can be rotated to show different patterns. It's been fun sharing sofa space with my better half cursing and cheering and my beads happily oblivious on my lap-tray...
