Chainmaille


These are the bracelets I made a while ago, the four outer ones are half Persian weave with anodised aluminium and the middle one is a box chain with copper rings. The black rings on them are elastic so they just stretch over my hand so no clasp is needed. These are the ones I wear most of the time.

My box of rings and below some others I made, the rainbow one is another stretchy one. The pink and black one is a Byzantine weave which doesn't work to well with stretchy rings so is better with a clasp. The copper one is called helm weave which I think is really pretty, I made one like this for my mum, and she really likes it.

I will make more to sell, all these styles in whatever combination of colours in any weave.

Bookmark

A bookmark made using a coat hanger, ribbon and a little brass heart with a pop rivet, nifty eh? I got the design from a MrBalleng on Instructables. This one was made for my mum, but I'm willing to make more for £3 each.

The Beginning















I have made a blog on my cousin's instructions to showcase my work. It has been a fairly easy process so far so I hope it becomes a fruitful venture. I make jewellery and other little bitty things like keys and stuff, and will be selling things if people are interested. This is my first piece modelled by my girlfriend's hand.
