Christmas Pieces

I am so sorry I keep forgetting to update you all on my new pieces! I have a few things that I made for this past Christmas and suddenly realized I never shared them! Most of them are new colors on things you have seen before, but there are a couple of new ones:

Inspiral Set in Anodized Aluminum

First, a couple of Christmas themed Inspiral bracelets with earrings to match either pair.

Next, a variation of the Helm Weave bracelet with beads and colored rings to add a bit of festivity to your wrist.

To follow those, we have a necklace and earrings set made to resemble a string of Christmas lights.

Next, I saw a posting on Facebook about this little Angel pendant. I was able to find out the sizes I needed and made one. It is such a cute piece that, while I made it as a pendant, could probably work as a cute set of earrings or something else.

Lastly, I also made these cute little ornaments. Small, 6 sided stars that are simply hung from a ribbon to decorate wherever you might want one!

Rings and Kits for all pieces completed are from Weave Got Maille and The Ring Lord.

Jens Pind Linkage

Jens Pind Linkage, also known as JPL is generally considered a variation of the Spiral Weave, but it is tight enough that it doesn't unwind when unclasped. It looks a bit like a rope so it works for just about anything! I cannot find anything that explains the name, but I suppose it has something to do with either the technique or the creator of the weave since most I've come across usually do. The JPL chain looks pretty and simple, but it requires very precise placement of each ring so that they maintain a consistent angle of overlap to hold the shape. It is much easier to see when it is done in multiple colors but also looks lovely in a single color. It is so versatile and can be done in so many styles (usually called JPL3, JPL5, etc.) for distinctly different looks. I have only so far completed the JPL3 version in bright aluminum (single color) and anodized aluminum (three colors). JPL3 in Bright Aluminum JPL3 in Anodized Aluminum

New Captures

Pixie Snowflake The first of the new captures is called Pixie Snowflake. It features a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in Sapphire. It is a gorgeous design from Dawdling Dragons. This one is the pendant size, but it can also be made in earring size. The second is called Crystal Cascade. This one, in particular, is made with rainbow hematite beads and a Swarovski Crystal Rivoli in the color called Vitrail Medium. It is a stunning piece and, while a little big for any pendant I personally would wear, it is an amazing statement piece or even an ornament if you choose. Crystal Cascade Pendant The next is a collection of captures done in aluminum and rubber and connected with Byzantine units to support the weight and give the piece some stability. It is the Galaxy Necklace and features Swarovski Crystal Rivolis in Emerald. Galaxy Necklace Galaxy Necklace Closeup Rings and Kits for all pieces completed are from Dawdling Dragons and HyperLynks.

Scales!

Another update today included some pieces I have completed recently using scales. Candle Skirt in Sunflower Position Candle Skirt in Lotus Position First, the Lotus Candle Skirt made with aluminum scales and stainless steel rings. It was made to fit a tealight candle, but can be altered to fit almost anything round. It fits in the closed position, called "lotus position" or the open position, called "sunflower position". It is a great decoration! I have also made these adorable scale flowers. I made one in each color and also a multi-colored one with some leftover scales and rings. I added a ring to one and wear it as a pendant, but can also attach a pin backing or hairclip.
