THE RIVOLI

structure over to the front sides

(scales are now in the convex

rivoli into the center of the pendant

underneath the four Bs. Push the

rivoli into the pendant in such a

way that the four Bs push upwards

to accommodate the rivoli.

rivoli in place, focus

red and yellow dots near the center

of the pendant. Carefully weave and

close one B through the four rings
