From John RICHINGS : TWO PYRAMID covering

[open quote]
 Attached are pics of pyramids made up from  80mm equilateral triangles.
The green is 3 sided plus base, the blue is the classic 4sided.
Both are 2ply using 1.4mm cord and are respectively 900 and 1200 facet !
Sorry about the distortion to the square base...........I made a card template and the filled it
with expanded polystyrene.....a la Stefanos...but in expanding it’s distorted the
former.

From John RICHINGS : EASTER EGG


[open quote]
The Knot is made on a 10cm high egg, is 594 facets and 3 ply (2 cords at 1.5mm and 1 cord at 2.5mm). I then “prepared” by painting it with gilding size. The final operation is applying the gold leaf.....using a soft flat artist’s brush to pick up the gold leaf, having first brushed the brush against my hair for static electricity. The easiest part was the red ribbon bow.

From Jan VOS ( also see VOS_TUTS )  ABoK #2996 turned into a bracelet !

[open quote]
This is  the  abok 2996 , a  double  edged  8 strand, 24 bights  braid, turned into a  bracelet and then doubled.
...
I  join  the  ends of the braid  together to  double  it.
This is now  done  with  8 strands, but it must be  possible to reduce it  to 4 or two strands.
It has a herringbone look, but then it  would need a 25 bights ( and one strand).
I think it is  possible to draw it  in either ariane  or  rknotbuilder,  not  yet done.
