Zigzag Bracelet

I've finished the zigzag bracelet. It took me a while, but I learnt a lot in the process. Note to self, another thing I learnt is that a rope with a bigger circumference is stiffer. When this blue bracelet was stiff, I thought the thread must be thicker than my usual thread, but now I realise it was just because of the bigger circumference. Aha.

  1. That's interesting. I never would have imagined that a larger bracelet would be stiffer. I seem to learn something new every day! Your bracelet is beautiful!

  4. I've ben following the evolution of these beaded bracelets - so I think I can now appreciate the end result. Like Jane, I think it looks terribly complicated, but it must be extremely satisfying to have worked through all the problems.

  6. An interesting twist from where this started :-)
    I like the diamonds it creates.
    Now that you mention the relation between cross-section and stiffness, it seems so logical ;-D

  7. Yes, it does. It explains why you see pics of short, thick necklaces and thin dangly ones!
