Step 11 of 12 – BAIL MAKING
Bend the both the wire ends downwards and trim off the excess (fig. 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d, 11e, 11f, 11g).
Use a flat diamond needle file to smoothen the sharp wire end (fig. 11h).
Use a flat nose pliers to adjust the shape of the bail as desired (fig. 11i, 11j, 11k, 11l, 11m).
Lastly, polish the bail surface with flat diamond needle file and finest steel wire wool (fig. 11n, 11o, 11p, 11q, 11r, 11s).
Step 12 of 12 – BAIL WEAVING
The main pattern for bail weaving are as follow:
- Start with 3 small coils on the left wire (fig. 12a, 12b, 12c).
- Then, make 2 big coils on both the wire (fig. 12d, 12e).
- Next, make 3 small coils on the right wire (fig. 12f, 12g, 12h, 12i, 12j, 12k).
And repeat the weaving pattern until the end of bail (fig. 12l, 12m, 12n).
Trim off excess wires with wire cutter (fig. 12o, 12p, 12q).
Checkpoint: This is how your pendant should look like at the end (fig. 12r, 12s, 12t).
For final touch, separate the wires at the back like tiny vines.
