The last part of my “Flower of Life” series. The hardest, in my opinion. Ying Yang.
You will need:
- H18 Aluminum Rings (38)
- D20 Enameled Copper Silver Rings (in Black and Pink) 42 of each color
- Pliers coated in tool magic
- Mat
I’m only going to show half of this weave because, the other half is exactly the same. I do this row by row, starting with the center row.
Count out all your rings.
Start with 6 pink and, 6 black rings. This will be your center ring.
Open an H18 ring, Add the 6 pink rings (1st color) Close the ring, double the H18 ring, Add the
6 Black rings.
Taking another open H18 ring, loop it through one pink ring and, one black ring. Add 3 pink rings and, 7 black rings. Make sure all the pink are on the top and, black on the bottom. Close the H18 ring and double.
Sorry I had accidentally knocked everything over.. then took this picture with it facing the wrong way.. so just flip the piece over.. add another open H18 ring, looping it through 2 of the black rings. MAKE SURE that one black ring is left with the 3 pinks. as seen below. Add 4 black rings, close and double.
Flip it back over so that the pink is back on top. You’re going to add 4 H18 rings. The first (2nd from the left) add 2 H18 rings, loop I through 1 pink and, 1 black ring. Add 2 blacks on the bottom and, 8 pinks on the top. Close and double. Add another H18 ring, add 4 pink rings, close and double.
On the right side add an H18 ring. Loop it through 2 of the black rings. Bring it to the top and loop it through 1 black ring and, 1 pink ring. Add 2 black rings and, 2 pink rings. (make sure the black is facing the black side, and the pink is facing pink.) Close and double.
Add an open H18 ring, loop it through the 2 pink rings on the previously added pink rings, and 4 from the row below. Add 4 pink rings and, 2 black rings. Close and double.
Add another H18 ring by looping it through the 2 black rings previously added. Continue looping it through 4 pink rings from the previous row. Add 6 pink rings. Close and double. (sometimes it easier to close the H18 ring first, then add the extra rings.)
Add a H18 ring by looping it through 2 pink rings previously added and, 4 rings from the previous row. Add 1 black and, 1 pink ring. Close and double.
Starting from the right. Add a H18 ring by looping it through the 2 black rings on the end and, 2 pink rings. Add 2 black rings, close and double.
Add an H18 ring by looping it through the 2 black rings just added and, through 4 of the pink rings from the previous row. Add 1 pink ring and, 1 black ring. Close and double.
Add an H18 ring by looping it through the 6 loose rings. Close and double. congrats you’ve finished half of the weave.. Give up?? Lol.. it’s tempting trust me. Just relax and, take your time. Flip over and, continue the other side the same way. Lost?? Just look below to see the finished piece for reference.
All 8 Flower of Life weaves I have completed. Yes I only did 3 but two of these were my on funky little creation with no real rules.. just went with the flow..
These are the 2, that I did my own thing.
