Byzantine weave, black/gold/shiny Al.
Lessons learnt:
- go carefully, anodised rings scratch easily
- once it's done, don't mess with it - if you mess it up it'll be *really* fiddly to fix
- I need nylon pliers - covering metal ones in tape works well for a bit but if you want to do anything fiddly (see above) it's like trying to thread a needle whilst wearing thick socks over your hands
- no really, *don't* mess with it
Pictured on the other thing I made (helped make) this weekend - shelves! Oh how I love my shelves. Sadly missing some brackets yet, so pictures to follow.
