Woven 3D Ice Crystal research

9/4/2023

0 Comments

 
This is the bead pattern ChatGPT gave me for an ice crystal. I am looking up diagrams of Ice I-h. ChatGPT neglected to inform me that I need to aim for tetrahedral bonding angles at 60-degrees. I think I will also need some short bugle beads- two per "oxygen". Hydrogens should be size 8 or smaller and oxygen-size 6 seed beads or a miracle bead.

Materials:
- Clear beads (for hydrogen) ((size 8 seed beads))
- White beads (for oxygen) ((4mm white Miracle beads))
((-short clear bugle beads))
- Beading thread

Instructions:

1. Thread a needle with a long piece of beading thread and tie a knot at one end.

2. String one white bead onto the thread and slide it down to the knot. This will be the center bead of your ice crystal.

3. String three clear beads onto the thread and pass the needle through the white bead to create a triangle of beads.

4. String two clear beads onto the thread and pass the needle through the next clear bead in the triangle.

5. String one white bead and two clear beads onto the thread and pass the needle through the next clear bead in the triangle.

6. Repeat step 5 two more times to complete the first layer of the ice crystal. You should have a hexagon shape formed by the white beads.

7. To create the second layer, string one clear bead and two white beads onto the thread and pass the needle through the next clear bead in the first layer.

8. Repeat step 7 until you have completed the second layer. You should have a hexagon shape formed by the white beads, with a clear bead in the center of each white bead.

9. To create the third layer, repeat steps 3-8, alternating between clear and white beads in each layer.

10. Continue adding layers until your ice crystal is the desired size and shape.

11. Once you have completed the desired number of layers, tie off the thread and trim the excess.

12. Your beaded ice crystal, with its hexagonal crystal structure made of oxygen and hydrogen atoms, is complete!

Note: You can adjust the size and shape of the ice crystal by using different sizes of beads, and by varying the number of layers.

(I asked it to provide me with a diagram in clear and white beads):
Layer 1:     Layer 2:     Layer 3:
   W            C W C         W
  C C          W C C W       C C
 C   C        C W W C C     C   C
  C C          W C C W       C C
   W            C W C         W
