First new pattern for 2013

[Anna Wales]

I hope everybody had a rest over Christmas and that those who were selling before had some good sales. We attended a few events and were very pleased with the interest and sales.

So I confess I got itchy fingers and had enough of sitting around and decided to make a new bracelet section.
First pattern for 2013 and let's hope for a healthy, happy and successful 2013 for all.

Very nice Anna!!

Thank you. It's pierced Carole, 14 gauge sheet, 1/32nd drills and 4/0 blades and I only broke one so was quite pleased with myself!

Hello Anna Wales and a happy new year to you too. I like the woven effect. The gaps have been pierced as you say, but the lines giving the up and over effect were scored or engraved, roll textured or etched no?

Hi Dennis, glad you like it. It's no to all of the above. All the work is done with the saw. The "over and unders" are cut carefully and not too deeply or it's straight through and start again!

Thank you.

Thats lovely! Did you see that programme about art in the dark ages? There was a bit on celtic knot work and how they did it. Where they used red dots (in the case of the lindisfarne gospel) I guess you drilled a hole!

Thank you. I enjoyed the series very much. It would be so interesting to go back in time and see how some of these fabulous pieces were made. The dots are the drill holes, 45 I think in the new piece.

That is amazing.
