Identify these bracelet tubes please! Awesome!
I have been mesmerized and just blown away at the bead work of Lydia Muell, I think I've spelled that correctly. Just purchased her tutorials and I so want to purchase the bent tubes that make up the bracelet pieces but have searched forever with no luck to figure this one out. Please help me on this one!
What are these curved tubes, one looks like tube chainmaille and the other looks like brass or copper woven metal tubes. I'm clueless but, OMG I'm in love with it all!

The second one is Viking knit. There are many tutorials on the web how to do
this.

The tubes look like oxidized or perhaps a brown patina on sterling to me, the other one is viking knit as Karen said.

You might just try to contact Lydia. She's a very sweet lady (in my experiences with her online) and might be willing to point you in the
right direction, or sell you some.

I figured anyone who makes such beautiful beads had to be beautiful inside, too!
Surely, I was hoping they were something we could make ourselves, not have to purchase and have the creativeness to customize them. I can't imagine how you'd even go about making them. Wish I could, though.

The Viking Knit is very do-able. Easy to learn, and easy to mindlessly do while watching TV. I'm also not sure what the other tube is, please let the rest of us know, if you find out.
