Description I like the width that 10 color in bundles of 3 wires each gives to this. The 3 wire weave is a little trickiers, but when it comes out right, the colors really pop.

The bracelet is made by weaving sections of wire, bundles of 2 or 3 individual wires, into a flat length. Unlike Kumihimo, where you end up with a tube. Once a bracelet length is woven, it is framed in a heavier gauge wire. This is done to cover the cut ends of the weave, and to create something to use as a clasp, if a clasp is wanted. The frame is held in place by wrapping with a light gauge wire of similar or contrasting colors.

This bracelet is sold, but I take commissions: [link]

Lovely! I do beadwork, but not wire work, and I really like the colors and the type of weave.
