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 and fuse mobius rings, but deciding which rings, how many, and what size to use can be tricky.

One way to simplify this is to string beads with your most-used mobius spacer sizes and take a photo.

Scale the photo to match the bead size and print it out for easy reference.

Here, the beads are 8mm in diameter.

Another option is to lay the spacers next to a ruler, photograph them, scale the photo to the ruler, and print it as a reference.

Of course, you can also keep plenty of mobius spacers in your most-used sizes to audition them in projects.

The rings shown, left to right, are my favorites for bracelets and necklaces:

Three 3mm Argentium rings

Three 3.5mm Argentium rings

Five 4mm Argentium rings

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!
