I am working on bracelets feverishly, building up my inventory!!! Just haven’t had time to take pictures, or scan and post. I’ll try to do that this week.
Donia, We’d love to see your bracelet!!!
Some info for you all, a friend of mine used a office clip board to hold her work down. She said it worked great. She didn’t know what to use, school was out and her son brought this clip board home that he had at school, so she used it. So there is another idea.
Ohmygosh, Maggie! I’d be broke if JoAnn’s or Michael’s was that close
Welcome, jinjiru! You’vve found the best, and friendliest group of jewelry artists on the net!
May I suggest that you try on eBay, that is where I got my book. There are usually a couple of them listed, new, and I believe they will ship internationally.Oh thank you so much! I’ve totally forgotten about the ebay
I will try to find the book there! Thank you again (though still any pics will be highly appreciated – maybe anyone takes any photos during the process?)
Welcome jinjiru! Yes, ebay is a great idea – you’ll find everything you need there.
Here is a WIP, of a necklace I’ve been making forever, though I’m not sure how much help it will be. It’s just an office cork board, my heavy plate holds it down on my lap when I’m working, instead of a weight like Robin suggests – you’ll need pins to hold it all tight on the board.

My Blog / My Etsy / My WebsiteWelcome jinjiru, you have found a great place to hang out. Please go directly to robinatkins.com, on there she shows some steps for the weaving part. Its primarely an S weave, using one weaving cord, over, under, over, under, adding beads to the cords you are weaving over and never adding beads to the weaving cord. Hope that makes sense.
Pam, That is going to be gorgeous!!! Can’t wait until its done! Lime green and turquoise, my favorite colors!
I’m going to try to revive this thread.
You see, I have the book, limit-less supplies, cork board (two different ones to boot), and haven’t tried this yet.
I kept up with this thread
and saw all the beautiful bracelets:thumbsup: and such that everyone was making. I kept looking at my stash of supplies and just never moved on it. HELP!!!I think my problem is that I’m stuck on thinking that the basic Caterpillar or Loop De Loop type bracelet gives me the same look for so much less time. What are your opinions here?
Has anyone else made some new items to show off?
doniaduck, Thanks for reviving this thread. It is totally fascinating and has lots of great info in it. Love the finger woven bracelets so much!! I want to try it sometime, and thanks to you I have a lot more information on it!!

OK, I canned the blue and green monster (ick) and made this one instead. Not necessarily Robin Atkin’s knotting technique, but the same style anyway. I love it and it only took 4 hours (not including the time it took to make the beads themselves):

My Blog / My Etsy / My WebsiteNearly done with my watermelon treasure bracelet, just trying to figure out how to end it. That part wasn’t covered in anything I have. Don’t have the Robin Atkins book yet.
