Micro Maille

I have also been working with tiny rings to make some more petite bracelets.  One is a spiky version of the normal Byzantine bracelet and the other two are captured crystals.  These are very cute and very dainty.  I'm including pictures of the Byzantine next to a "normal-sized" Byzantine...normal being the size I usually make :)  There are also comparison pictures next to Sharpie markers to really get an idea of how small these are :D

The Petite Spiky Byzantine can also be made with the points going in alternating directions.  I got this kit from Unkamen Supplies, which made a truly lovely little bracelet.

The Micro Captured Crystal Bracelets were a kit provided by Metal Designz and tutorial from Rocky Mountain Maille.  I love these bracelets.  The small Swarovski crystals really shine with a multitude of colors that the smaller rings allow you to see from any angle.

Viper Weaves

Viper Basket Bracelet in Anodized Aluminum Viper Basket is a name that is used for the doubled ring version of Orbital Vipera Berus.  It is a very easy, but great looking weave.  It is a 2 in 2 chain with larger rings "orbiting" each set of 2 to make the rings change direction and gives the weave a more intricate look. Viper Basket Bracelet with matching Earrings Vipera Berus is also called Northern Viper by some and is "the third bastard son of mixing European Styles and Hoodoo." Vipera Berus Bracelet in Anodized Aluminum I don't know too much about either of these weaves and I think it's because they are both variations of other weaves.  They are both amazing looking weaves though and lots of fun to do. I have only made one piece out of each of these weaves, so there are unfortunately not too many pictures to show.  I did make a matching pair of Viper Basket Earrings, but I don't know if the Vipera Berus would make good earrings or not....
