RAW Druks


My comfort level with right angle weave (RAW) is increasing. The stitch path never felt right to me. But, just like riding a bicycle or swimming, even tho it starts out feeling odd and uncomfortable, if you keep at it, you will soon master the skill.

With mastery comes the increased comfort level.

This bracelet was created using varigated black and aqua 4MM druks. The original intent was for it to be done with only the aquas, but there weren't enough of them, so I added a row of black druks.

This was the first time I have used a monofiliment as a stringing medium. It is 6lb test and was so close in colour to the aqua druks that I gave it a try. Let's hope it wears well.
