Working with wire has hardened my fingertips, broken my nails, poked and scratched my skin, but it's heightened my creativity, challenged my mind, and helped me produce art that makes me proud.

That's FINE (Viking Knit Bracelet)
I love Viking Knit. It can be a tedious process, but the end result makes it all worth it. I just finished this gorgeous viking knit bracelet for a customer, I pulled it out of the metal tumbler this morning. I think it's my best viking knit item to date! What made this one work so well was that I made it with FINE silver instead of sterling. I had no idea how much easier it would be. Fine silver is more malleable, less apt to tangle. Of course I still used sterling silver for the handcrafted end caps and forged hook and eye clasp, but from now on it's FINE silver for Viking Knit.
