I got the book "Woven Wire Jewelry" by Linda L. Chandler and Christine R. Ritchey from the Library and finally plucked up the courage to try the practice piece, in copper wire in case it all went horribly wrong. Here's the piece. It's about 5.5 inches so too short as it is for a bracelet. I might try adding something to turn it into one.

Six strands of 0.8mm wire and its a tight weave that's 5 mm wide. I guess that if I wanted a bracelet about 1 inch wide, i.e. 25mm, I'd need 30 strands of wire. Don't know if I'm ready for that yet.
