    Here's what I made last night - Half Persian 3-in-1 bracelet in brass with an S-hook clasp. It's the first time I've made one of those clasps, and as you can see from the second photo, it's a little wibbly in places. (That wire was tough to bend! And tougher to straighten out again...)

    It was a real arse to get started - took three tutorials and two false starts and in the end I pinned it to a bit of polystyrene until I got past the first few repetitions so that it'd hold its shape and not disintegrate into a random bundle of rings!

    Today's bracelet - Byzantine joined by large rings. I then added some Czech glass beads and a serpentine bead to the large rings. I'd been planning to add a smaller bead on a dangle to each as well, but didn't think it would work in the end.

    Photos with and without beads:

    Wow, I love the second bracelet, partly because I'm playing with the byzantine weave a lot myself, and because it looks so good in the colours you've used.

    Hee, thanks Nic and Anne! It can actually roll over itself up and down your wrist, which was another reason for not adding dangles - I was foreseeing somewhat uncomfortable jams if I did

    Gayle: thanks! It's easier than it looks - well, at least in the weaves I'm trying so far. They *are* rated at the lowest difficulty on cgmaille.com, mind...
