I went to a course to do this viking wire weave then I created my own design. It's worked on a mandrel then you have to put it through a draw plate to stretch it.

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Classic


Materials

26 gauge artistic wire

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to see how the vikings did it back then

What are you most proud of?

That once you have completed the viking weave there is no limit to your imagination what you can make from this and the items I have made are
so remarkable.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It's a bit tricky to start with but once you've got the hang of it - it fun I enjoyed it immensley

Thanks. I'll see what I can find here. I just love the look of the VIking weave and I appreciate knowing what it's called. It'll make it easier to google. Thanks again!

It is very nice. Do you know where you might be able to take a course online? I found instructions in magazines and books,but I don't quite GET it. Yours look so nice that if you took it on line I'd so appreciate knowing where. I'm also glad you say once you get the hang of it it's very enjoyable (not frustrating I guess that means :) I particularly like the blue crystal one. Thanks for showing us.
