Whitehead Link

Whitehead Link
by Gwen Fisher
This beaded object uses two linked Ring Nebulae woven from crystals and metallic seed beads. In 1934, Henry Whitehead documented this particular way of joining two loops (unknots) while trying to prove the Poincare conjecture. See The Thistlethwaite Link Table to find other examples of links that can be made with our Ring Nebula pattern.
