Not recommended for ppl with arthritis, but a nice look I think.

I like seeing all the different styles of weave type wraps. I'll never attempt one - Way too much work for me. My hands hurt just looking at it.

I don't have the patience or skill to create something so beautiful.

I would like a rock in it though.

Thanks guys. It's not hard, just tedious and yes, hard on older hands. The reason I used the glass instead of a stone is that 2 x 16ga wires had to go through the hole and I don't have any stones with holes nearly that large.

Can you use a smaller wire? Or, is that what you had? I have to agree with others, that weaving kills my hands. I'm getting ready to start a viking knit necklace for a Christmas present and I am dreading it. I have to take a break every ten minutes or so.

Yes, I'm sure I could've gotten away with 2 x 18 or 20ga, but it was the first try and I wanted to follow directions as best I could. I happen to like that piece of glass anyway.
