Here it is. Information should be free
This is in trade for any weaves you would feel the overwhelming urge to send to sakredchao@yahoo.com
Thank you very much to those of you who've participated and sent me weaves.
The rest of you can go Potter Stewart yourselves.
If this is unclear, mail me with the unclear part, and I'll try to fix it. IMPORTANT: Use large rings. I've tried it with 16 gauge wire (5/16" id) it doesn't work. With 17 gauge wire, you NEED 5/16" ID.
Eye Period Questionmark
This is a box pattern
consisting of 10 rings. It is best to have it look like the box, and not in any of
the other ways this ring combination will rest. It keeps the center of EPQ as
it is shown below, looking like an arrow (=>), and not layered (//). The weave
just looks more even, I think.
grab the three rings on
each side in another ring
put a ring through all
six on both sides
add the last four.
There should be 'empty' spaces to fill in.
Definitely Not Beer
okay... you need two different sizes of rings. I use 1/4" and 3/16" ID (17 gauge)...it is basicially a european 4 in 1 with a ring holding it tight to itself.. you can see how you need to grap the smaller ring through the larger one with a 1/4" ring.. There would normally be 2 rings where the one brass one is, but there was barely enough room for that one, as it's a larger gauge wire than 17...
Full Persian
I won't go into how to start the persian. I can't do it perfect every time. Just tuck in the loose rings in the box weave. Play with it.
This is how you continue it with 2 open rings, 2 closed rings.
The copper are the open rings, the brass are the closed.
Half persian - don't add one of the open rings.
Oriental Open Hexagon pattern.. or another Oriental 4 in 1.
there are two ways to do the 4 in 1 european weave, as well.. here are examples of both.. if you make strips you need to 'zip' them up.
almost just like the 4 in 1, but you weave two rings back instead of one.. you can extrapolate this to make 8 in 1, 10 in 1, 12 in 1, 232 in 1.
