Glass Caterpillar
by Kat Wisniewski
Combine glass rings with chainmaille using techniques from artisan Kat Wisniewski. This restructured form of European 4-in-1 exudes sophistication. Glass rings fill the center, while complementing glass seed beads decorate the Half Persian edging.
When making this piece, You may find that not every bead slides smoothly onto the rings. This is due to slight wire gauge variations as well as variation in the size of the hole from bead to bead. Always purchase high-quality beads (which tend to have fewer variations) and buy extra beads, just in case.
Shown is a Glass Caterpillar using blue glass rings and beads to create a "sapphire" birthstone (September) bracelet.
