Gooblink Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Haha. You're right, knotting bronze might prove a bit of a challenge. I thought they were made of leather, or hemp. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it, but have seen it done. Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some brass thread? a Brass is harder, isn't it? I've only seen it done with bronze and gold. Maybe silver? Have I seen silver or am I making that up? I can't remember. :) Anyway, I would need bronze for my SCA bling. Maybe one day I'll commission something like this from one of our resident jewelers. Jenny?

You just have us all waiting to see how this works out for you so we can try it too!! For me, that will be after I accomplish all the other thread-instigated projects I am willing to undertake like: cleaning out my books making my own soap getting rid of clutter cleaning out my school room :tongue_smilie: I'm tired now so I'm going for the Keurig!!
