Artist's Comments
This is an 18 gauge sterling silver bangle, hand woven. Another one of the easier than it looks type things.
I neglected to give credit to the original designer for the tutorial on this weave when I originally posted this. The designer's name is Linda Chandler, and her web site is jewelrybylinda.com. She has a tutorial for this weave and one other weave as well available on her website; they are somewhat expensive ($20), but I felt they were worth it. They are well written and have lots of pictures to go with the written directions. She also has a book, Woven Wire Jewelry, which has other weaves in it as well. You can get it on Amazon, or at Barnes and Noble. I hope that helps all of you that were interested in learning the weave. It really is not hard to do if yu have some wire working experience. I would not recommend this for a rank beginner to jewelry, but if you've been working with wire for a little while, definitely give it a try and don't be intimidated! I have seen this weave adapted to make rings, neck collars, watch bands, and so on, so it's very veratile. I've also seen several different versions of the weave using a different number of core wires, bi-metal, and different clasp configurations (some absolutely beautiful!). Take a look at Linda's site; she has some great examples of different weaves and adaptations of weaves there.
It's called a croc weave, and it's in a tutorial from Linda Chandler-jewelrybylinda.com. Unfortunately, it's a rather expensive tutorial, but I felt it was worth it. Thank you for your kind comments!
Take the plunge! It's not as difficult as you think it is. It does require some finger strength, so definitely use dead soft wire. The artist that developed this tute also has a great book called Woven Wire Jewelry which has some great stuff in it tha tis very clear and concisely explained with lots of pictures. Her name is Linda Chandler, and you can find the book on Amazon.
Yeah, I've got some books on it. I tried to do something once made the mistake of not using dead soft, which is one reason why I haven't given it a try again yet. Been so busy doing other stuff. I'll look into that book too though, thanks.
