Viking Knit Green Wire With Pink Glass Beads

Hi there!
Had so much fun teaching myself this Viking weave or knitting technique! So many uses for this type of link. If the links are pulled tightly, those Pandora style beads can slide on. Knit (or woven) somewhat loosely and the wire can encase beads (like in these pictures). If woven looser, it can serve as an Add A Charm bracelet (or necklace). Lastly, it can be woven with nothing at all and be a very elegant yet simple chain.

FLOWER STAND Cluster Ring


FLOWER STAND Cluster Ring, originally uploaded by CraftyPease.

Hi! Happy June 1.

Here's a fun cluster ring made for practice. Also want to wear for a while so that I can see how it feels, if the wire heads catch on clothing and other general wear-and-tear experiences.

Not going to be an Etsy item because of the quality of the wire, If I were to list this, it would be in sterling silver, but I wanted to practice the wrapping technique with the steel wire before blowing money on good silver.

I'd love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for looking!
