| Not too much to say about this one. It was my first attempt at a non-european weave, and I went straight to something considered very difficult... half-persian 4-1. Not only is this a difficult weave, but it's quite difficult to make with titanium rings, since titanium rings aren't too fond of staying bent into place (ie: springback). However, I eventually succeeded (and have made various other titanium bracelets for people, but those are long-since given away, so I can't take a picture of any of them). It's called a 'permy' because it's... well... permanant. Well, permanant in that it doesn't have a clasp. It's woven onto my wrist (since April of 2006!), and is unable to slide over the hand. There are however several annealed (ie: repeatedly heated then cooled to make them weaker) rings that should act as a 'breaking point' if it gets caught on something. It's never left my wrist since I put it on... but it's titanium, so it's hypoallergenic, can't rust, and generally will last a very long time without showing any wear or causing problems. | |
