craftgrrl | freeform wire bracelet how-to?

I admired a freeform flat cuff-style wire bracelet over the weekend at a craft fair, and would like to make a thinner version, approx. 1" wide. It had a consistent width, and was made only with silver beading wire (26 gauge or so) in a haphazard flat netting pattern (similar to a dreamcatcher's netting or a cobweb, but not as neat), with a few small colored glass beads throughout it.

Last night I tried to recreate the bracelet, but couldn't keep a consistent width with all the wrapping. I tried to find a picture of one online to include with this to no avail, so I hope my explanation is clear. Is this something that requires a wire jig, or has anyone done something similar to this without one? Any specific links / tips?

Thanks in advance.
