When something catches my interest, I generally have to try it a couple (or more) different ways before I decide what I like best.
And so it is with looming.
Immediately after finishing my first bracelet on the Ricks bead loom, I warped it up to make another bracelet of the same design. You'd think I'd be a little more adventurous, but I'm not.
Well, not entirely true - I did plan on changing things, but the pattern, width, and length aren't the parts that needed changing. It was the beads.

Adonnah Langer Style Loom Bracelet (and Salvaging the Selvage)
I promised a story about the other loom beaded bracelet I made last week - what I consider an Adonnah Langer (or Chili Rose Beads) style loomed bracelet.

Ricks Beading Loom Differences and How To
For about 2 weeks now, I have had three beading looms warped and ready to go. And there they sat. Waiting.
Waiting...
Finally inspiration hit and I made bracelets using two of the three looms - the Ricks loom and the Mirrix loom.
Any idea which bracelet is made with which loom? Well, if you are familiar with the Ricks loom, the answer is probably obvious. It is one of the primary differences and benefits of the Ricks loom - not having to deal with a selvage.
