Jewelry Weaves

I've been playing around with some of the various weaves for a while now, and finally picked up some clasps so now bracelets are removeable instead of being permanently woven to the wrist. The weaves used should appear around life-size on your monitor (72 dpi), but I have a 1 inch scale shown below for comparison.

1 inch measurement
1 inch

To gain a better understanding of the weave, I also have VRML models for some of the weaves. You may need to download a VRML viewer to be able to view the models. I use the free Cosmo Player available at http://cosmosoftware.com.
