Coiled Butterfly
by Rebeca Mojica
As seen in the Fall 2012 issue of "Wirework" magazine, this original weave, created by Rebeca Mojica, is also known as Infinite Wings.
Wrap your wrist in colorful butterflies! This project combines brilliantly shiny base metal rings with bright enameled copper colors to create a light and airy weave. A variation of the gridlock weave, Coiled Butterfly is named for the symmetrical wing-like shapes that are created naturally by the weave and emphasized in this project through ring size and color.
Customize your kit below! The color chosen for the "small rings" will appear in the coiling part of the weave (shown here in seafoam) and the "medium rings" will appear closer the the edges of the weave (shown here in green).
