I think I am gettin this. Practice makes better. Not perfect yet. But I think this one is a lot easier on the eyes.  Anyone know what this stone is called? I call it green circles.  and a Birdseye cab wrapped in Argentium.  Thanks for lookin'  |

the green stone is kambaba jasper from Madagascar. Weaving looks like hard work! I want to try a woven bezel some day... I'm thinking that weaving the wires together while they are straight and then shaping afterward might produce a tighter weave; but then again, I haven't done any yet, so....:shrug:

Cool pendants!
your weave is looking good, I want to try it but right now just have way too much to get done.
That will be a later on project with the para art wire

Thanks for the ID guys. I did my bezel with it already formed, but am also thinking to weave it first and then make a bail out of it. It is very hard to do with it formed first. A hint, when doing a straight weave, I put an alligator clip on the wires ahead of where I am working to keep them straight. (well kind of straight) Then keep moving the alligator clip up as I go along. This weave took me from start to finish about 2 hours.

That's fast for the intricate weaving! Looks really hard to me, you've done a great job!

Nice weaving. I tried to do that once but haven't had the urge to try it again. I probably made it harder than it's supposed to be but it was hard to do for me.
Keep up the good work.
