Submissions for May’s Featured Weave Contest are closed and we’ve narrowed down the submissions to our group of finalists which means it’s time for YOU to cast your vote to determine the winner. This month, maillers stepped up to the challenge of creating pieces featuring Helm chain. The results (as always) are totally inspiring. Thanks to all who participated!
To share the survey, we recommend you copy the link to this blog post and use that in any emails, blog posts, or social media posts you’d like to make about it (we’ve noticed some weirdness in the past with sharing the link directly – it sometimes like to bump people out of voting that haven’t already.)
For June, we’re featuring Box Chain. This weave is beautiful in its simplicity and can be used in many ways. Playing with aspect ratio and ring size can completely change the look of the weave and also create beautiful tapering and wave effects. Have fun!
Want to see which B3 sizes work well for this weave? Visit our base metal stats & uses page and our sterling silver stats & uses page.
Never tried this weave but feeling up for the challenge? You can learn how to create Box chain and lots of variations on the weave in Rebeca’s book CHAINED.
