diamond-circle lanyard knot
2mm solder wire 

meh, this solder wire wouldn't melt, and i don't want to red line my machine,
so it's great flexible sculpture wire

i pressed the knot with pliers for a 'brushed' effect,
but - it's soft wire and i caused it to almost pinch right through into twenty separate segments !

This turks head wineglass is tied with a single line, and then color is added with a second ply.  This knot is similar to a wine glass grid I posted in the tutorials section of this webpage, but with different leads and bights.  This knot started out as three separate knots, a 12 bight x 11 lead turks head, an 8 bight x 5 lead turks head, and a 4 bight x 7 lead turks head. A fourth line is used to join the three knots into a single knot.  I have to skip over a bight someplace in the joining to make the math work out so it is a single pass to tie the entire knot.  In the second photo you can see one end of the line coming out of the stem, where I hid the starting point.

48 bight mat.  Mostly tied in hand, the finished knot is 200' (60m) of 1/4" cotton line from R&W rope.  I ironed it with some starch, it will be displayed on a wall.
