Leatherman42z Report post Posted November 29, 2010 Hi Folks, I am trying to put a mexican round weave on a money clip for a customer ( she wanted a cardinal on it and I felt it could use a nice border) . I have never tried carving from a picture before, and I want every aspect of the project to be perfect. However, I can't quite get the corner to look quite right. I either see the edge thru it or there's an unsightly bulge.Can somebody PLEASE tell me how to make the corner while braiding a mexican round weave? I've looked at tutorials, etc. , but they are not clear (or i just don't get it) when they say, "either go through the corner hole 5 times or go through the one before the hole 3 times, then the corner 4 times, then the one after 3 times." I understand that the strand passes through the hole x # of times, but what i dont get is what is happening on top. I've searched, looked at pix, etc. and it sounds like they are saying to just go straight around, but it doesn't look like that in the pictures I've seen, they look to be woven. ... In the pic below, you can see where I fudged the corners, but i'd rather it be done correctly. Any help or advice will be most humbly appreciated, (any advice on the carving would be welcome too).
