So! You fiber artists! Do you have any idea how to do this sort of weave?

I can probably work it out by staring at the pictures and messing with yarn/cord, but if you know of any explanations or tutorials, or even proper terminology so I can do searches, that would go a whole lot faster. :)

Looking more closely at soutache reveals it uses a v-pattern rather than the sort of spiral you are trying to get.

Give me a few minutes to play with some string. :)

Also, I was thinking you might use polymer clay over a metal ring (for strength and structure) for the brooch/fibula thingy.

FYI, I got your emails, just haven't had time to look at them more deeply so far. Thank you!
