Yesterday I shared with you guys the quarter weave and today it’ll be the twisted weave! I came up with this while playing with the weaving so I’ve just named it the twisted weave because the threads are only woven around one side in the same direction. It is a simpler weave with huge potential to be transformed into any pattern which is why I really like this weave. On to the DIY!

Quarter Weave – variation of the woven curb link bracelet
From the previous post you should all know how to make a regular if not half-woven curb link bracelet. This post is about a variation of the woven curb link bracelet – I came up with this myself while playing with the weaving and so I’ve decided to call it the quarter weave as you only weave a quarter of each side. On to the DIY!
woven curb link bracelet
As mentioned on the facebook page about a month ago, I said I wanted to make this woven chain bracelet as posted by Honestly WTF. Ordering the curb link bracelet wasn’t too hard on ebay and it arrived in about two weeks (which is amazingly fast for shipping to Australia)! Picked it up today and started this project. I have changed the DIY a bit as I’ve made a half woven bracelet as opposed to the fully woven one on Honestly WTF.

Red bean paste and yummy things
This is a fairly confusing post but I’d originally intended this post to be about the dorayaki I made following Nami’s recipe but before I got photos of the dorayaki they were gone. Nevermind, I thought, I’ll just make a post on making red bean paste but since Nami posted a blog on red bean soup I finally found another way of using up all the bean paste I made!
Glass Float DIY
It’s the last day of holidays and as it is such, I will not have a lot of time to continue my DIY projects and post them up =[ so for my last project (for awhile) that I’ll be showing you guys is how to create a decoration more widely known as “Glass Floats” or “Fishing Floats”. Basically it’s a glass ball (sealed) with netting around it. In the olden days they were used to keep fishing nets floating but now everyone uses plastic buoys so they are no longer in production (apart from replicas). Old glass floats can be (on occasion) found along the beach where they have been washed up – but these days they’re a collector’s item with each glass float able to fetch $50 to over $500 depending on size, glass condition, colour, etc.
