Mini Dragonscale

by Rebeca Mojica

 

Once you've conquered Dragonscale, try your hand at an intricate, smaller version by using 20-gauge rings. In this size, the weave is slinky and feels even more amazing to the touch than the regular Dragonscale. Due to the thin wire gauge of the rings, this piece is delicateyou'll want to be sure to weave perfectly closed rings to ensure a long life for your bracelet.

If you're feeling particularly ambitious, you can try going even smaller to 22- or 24-gauge by using rings of the same AR as for the larger gauges. Caution: not for the faint of heart! 

Example shown right uses silver rings with spring green and mermaid niobium colors.  Final piece is approx. 7/8" (2.2 cm) wide.
