A few weeks ago, my daughter and her boyfriend were in town for a visit. During some down time, Bree and I were making jewelry (what else?!) and she asked me to show her how to weave Euro 4 in 1. She caught on quickly, and made her own little patch using some annodized aluminum rings.Next thing I know, she's emailing me asking about the best sources for rings, and I sent her to Blue Buddha, The Ring Lord, and Precious Maille. She ended up picking up some from Blue Buddha, but because she's her mother's daughter (and stalking the mailman really doesn't bring you your purchase any quicker ;-)), she went to Hobby Lobby and picked up one of their chain maille kits.
She made her first Japanese 12 in 2, and wore it to a graduation party. Her rings from BB arrived, and she used color in the weave with some pretty cool results! I'm posting a picture of a bracelet and a cell phone charm she made, and I'm really proud of what she did. Those JPN weaves are not easy - and I think she did a great job!Another child converted. :-D Her boyfriend says she'll end up just like me, LOL. I guess there could be worse things. ;-)
