  Hi Catherine!
  More info is coming, and the Call for Work will be official and have clear guidelines. First up for CGB is publication of our Technical info (almost ready) and we were waiting for a large shipment of donated beads to arrive from John Bead, in Canada. As I am entirely alone here (pandemic) the work that should be being done by a large team of people is now being all done by one person…. working as hard and as fast as I can. At this time I would usually have a dozen people gathered…
  Hugs to all
  Kate

I am wondering which beads you intended this graph for. The proportions are different than Miyuki Delicas which are 1.6mm diameter and 1.3mm length.

  The graphs are different views of the Squares, Diane, not all intended to be actual size – Warped Forms can be a challenge. These graphs are different ways to explore pattern. Also, a lot of people use seed beads!

Thanks so much for sharing these templates. Any chance they would be available as a vector file to use with AI?
Thanks
