Bull in brick stitch

As you know, 2021 is a year of the Ox in the Chinese zodiac. On our site we already have a tutorial on how to make a 3D bull and today we will make another bull, a flat one. For beading we will use the technique of brick stitch. It is a simple beadwork that can be made fairly quickly if you have some experience in brick stitch beadweaving.

We will need:
- seed beads of seven colors; I used seed beads #8/0 of light-yellow, pink, gray, black, blue, grayish-pink and red colors;
- beading thread (use any kind of thread you prefer to work with) and one or two beading needles (depends on your style of making a ladder stitch  chain).

Bull

Today we will make a beaded 3D bull with a bell on its neck.
We will need:
- for the bull - size 8 seed beads of four colors: gray, black, dark-gray and brown;
- for the bell - size 10 seed beads of two colors: yellow and green;
- wire 0.3 mm thick for the bull and 0.2 mm thick for the bell;
- thin nylon fishing line and a needle for cross-linking of the finished beadwork (if necessary).
