that was very cool. I wonder if this technique would work to build a "cage" to go around a cabochon to make a pendant.

What weave would work the best that doesnt twist without loosing flexibility? Dont want to add stiffness but will make sure nothing twists up

[@KimMichaels]

you make it look so easy..........thank you.......hugsssssss

[@stellamorgan1925]

how do you get the zigzaggs to not come apart? Is there a wasy that you are securing them?

Greetings Christina :-)
Thank you for yet another easy to follow tutorial. I'm thinking of incorporating something like this in knitting.
Question: How do you keep the wire from hurting your hands? Is it like playing a string instrument where you build up calluses?
Again, I sure appreciate your videos.

+Gail Roderick You're welcome and thank you. That sounds interesting.
Hehe yeah. That's probably part of it, but I also use softer wire the most, which is less hard on your hands than harder wire :-)

Question: Most videos I've seen are ones making a link for this, or a component for that....what is this used in? Love the look of the design, just don't know what to do with it. Any suggestions?

[@CSLdesigns]

+Scorpio45Libra It can be used in anything really. These are just demo videos for different wire weaves that can be incorporated into different pieces. I use different weaves in most of my wirework tutorials incorporated into different pieces :-)

You do beautiful work but for me you overkill on your explanations. Don't want to hurt your feelings, just being honest
