Hey people! I hope everyone is doing well today. I kept seeing woven metal designs in my head today after going to the art museum. This is pretty much just the test piece but it came out good enough to use as a set. I think there will be more pieces like this in the near future when i get all the kinks worked out of it Hope you enjoy it! 
Set info: the frame image is made up of 8 pieces set in a table if you can't figure out how to use them just click "save" on your browser. For aol people make sure this window is on top of everything then click edit than save as. You will get all the art and the html file. For my advanced people, use these buttons as flash or java mouse overs  (no I don't have the codes off hand go look them up!). Anyway please link back to me with the logo or a text link on the same page you use my art and PLEASE do not link directly to my stuff!
How To: What I did to make this set is really hard to explain, esentually I created these little silver bars in photoimpact and at first I tried to layer them into a weave, that not working all the way through I ended up having to paint in the weave lines pixel by pixel. Then I applyed the larger brace type pieces with the shape tool in the same silver preset and put the gems in with circle shape tool and little glass presets that came with photo impact.
