Netted Bezels, Wire Wrap Bracelet, etc.
Finally I got to make a netted bezel cab based on Delia Stone's tutorial. I have tried it before but it was not very successful. No picture was taken for this failed project. This time around it worked. I use 27ga stainless steel wire for the net. This cab is part of a bracelet with Goldstones. See more pix below.

Great job, Mei. I love the differently treated cabs all around the bracelet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Pearl :) Its hard work though.
ReplyDeleteWow.. very beautiful! So intricate. :) I wonder how long did you take to complete it?
ReplyDeleteAnd also, where can we get stainless steel wire? Is it easily found in Malaysia?
Thanks Waiyee! Took me few hours to complete it :) I think about 5-6 hrs.
ReplyDeleteYou can find stainless steel wire at tackle (fishing) shop and yes its quite easy to find in Malaysia. The only problem is if you can find all the sizes or not. Some shops have more sizes than others.
The bracelet looks great! You certainly did a good job on the needle lace. I like the mix of wrapping styles in the bracelet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Leslie! I am quite satisfied with the outcome.
