Artist's Comments
Created this for my girlfriend. Uses at least 3 different weaves...4-1euro, 3-1persian, and 6-1tripeled japanese. As you can tell, small freakin rings, that frankly, drove me bonkers! However, I like the finished product.
Materials include: rings from [link] (stainless) stainless wire swavortski (sp?) crystals lemme know what ya'll think!  oh, and total time, probably ~5-6 hours due to messing around with the weaves involved... |

One little detail bothers me though. You see the eye pins with the green beads on them? The lower left corner of the triangle seems to be connected differently than the rest of the triangle. It looks to me like the eye pins at the other two corners were both connected to a ring, but in the lower left, one eye pin is connected to the ring, while eye pin forming the bottom of the triangle appears to be connected to the other eyepin, right up next to the bead. Was this done intentionally, to make the beaded section fit better around the hand or something?

That's completely ridiculous.
As for the persian weaves...how you start the weave is so counter-intuitive for someone used to doing euro weaves that it's understandable how it falls apart. It's actually very stable if you start it out right...here's the link to the article that I used: [link]
The most important part of doing this weave right is to pay VERY close attention to how the ring on the right is positioned...it's actually backwards from what you would normally think. Easiest way to lay it out for me is to lay the rings like you would if you were weaving 4-1 for instance... then flip the last ring (the one on the right, or the lowest one, whichever makes the most sense to you, LOL) over so it's going the other direction. If you don't get that part right, the weave falls apart into some weird spiral looking thingy that is just a freakin mess. Take your time with it and try it with larger rings first...don't stop the weave until you have 5-10 pairs of rings after the initial starting piece...that way you always have something to look back at. If you still got problems, lemme know and I'll see if I can't do up a tutorial on it or sumthin...LOL... btw, thanks for the praise on the weaves, I was thinking that combining the 3 major families would look really cool....

It probably isn't helping much that I can't close a ring without flinging whatever I have completed of the weave across the room.
