Mobius Ring Spacers

by Judy Larson

Here's some quick ideas for choosing the size and gauge of mobius spacers.

Instructions

You know how to make mobius rings and fuse them. But what rings, how many, which size, etc., are questions you ask yourself when you want to use them in your projects. One way to make it easier to make those decisions is to string some beads with the various sizes of mobius spacers you use most often and take a photo. Then scale the photo to the size of the beads and print it out to use as a reference. The beads used here are 8mm in diameter. Another option would be to lay they spacers next to a ruler and take a photo, scale it to the ruler size, and print to also use as a reference.

Of course, you could always keep a lot of mobius spacers on hand in the sizes most often used so you can audition them in your projects.

The rings shown, left to right, are the ones I us most often in bracelets and necklaces.

My philosophy has always been "I will never live long enough to learn everything I want to learn, go everywhere I want to go and see everything I want to see!" So, what I make and how I create it is always changing and evolving. I was born shortly after WWII to parents who grew up during the Depression. They always had a "we can do it, we can make it" attitude which rubbed off on my two younger brothers and me. My brothers are amazing and can make and do ANYTHING! When I was a little girl, my mother gave me an old carved cigar box, which I cherish, filled with pop beads, wooden beads and yarn for stringing. That was the beginning of my jewelry making journey.

On a visit to the Grand Canyon when I was a young woman, I was fortunate enough to help a Native American silversmith sand cast my first silver bracelet and bezel set a large turquoise nugget on top. I was in love, hook, line and sinker! While working full time and having a family here in northern Minnesota, my artistic endeavors slowed down but never stopped. I am an artist, scrapbooker, seamstress, woodworker and jewelry artisan. Now that I am retired, I am able to indulge in all my hobbies. However, there just never seems to be enough time in the day to do it all, but I try!

I have been teaching community education beginner and intermediate jewelry making classes since my retirement. Many of my students have been bitten so hard by the jewelry making bug that they say I have turned them into monsters-they just can't get enough. Making jewelry, seeing something take shape from small bits and pieces, is so rewarding that I hope it brings out the "monster" in you, too!
