I’ve been experimenting with Viking Knit & just ordered some Artistic wire, which is colored copper wire

in a variety of colors to complete a few projects I have in mind.

First spotted over at the Beaducation Blog, I’m in total awe of Rachel’s work.

“Rachel knits fine coloured copper wires to produce wearable jewels.Each piece is always unique and unrepeatable.

Facets of Avalon is a Glastonbury based gallery, showcasing the extraordinary work of artists, Jan Billings and Rachel Reilly.

A mother and daughter team, they have been working together since 1999.”

Viking Knit is an ancient technique that originates from Scandinavian Vikings, and one that I’m keen to learn. It’s more of a weaving than actually knitting. Here are a few links to tutorials I have come across
