New Pieces

I haven't been too great at remembering to update the blog, but I do have another collection of new pretties to share!

First off, a tiny fidget toy!!! It's super cute and actually fits inside the bigger one! :D 

Fidgets! 
Second, a lovely pendant in aluminum, rubber, and rainbow hematite.  It's called the Compass Pendant.

Infinity Cradle Bracelet Closeup
This third piece is called Infinity Cradle. It is a twist on the European 4 in 1 weave with beads!  I actually had enough pieces left over from the bracelet to make matching earrings and a simple necklace.  Colors would be very versatile in this piece and the type of bead used can change the whole look.

 The next piece is another European 4 in 1 style cuff bracelet.  It's called the Ruffles Cuff.

Glass Butterfly Earrings
 Following the lovely Ruffles Cuff, we have the Glass Butterfly Earrings.  The beaded sections are beautiful tiger-striped glass donut beads and the sections are meant to look like butterflies joining together to make a beautiful line of decoration for your ears!   Continuing along with the beaded theme, we have this bracelet that is called the Fancy Beaded Chain.  It is a surprisingly dainty piece, but gorgeous!

Olivia Byzantine Bracelet

 The next one is a variation of the Byzantine Weave called the Olivia Byzantine Bracelet.   Another beaded design that was tons of fun to do is the Waves of Glass Bracelet.  It is another creation that features glass donut beads.

European Elegance Bracelet
 This next piece is from The Artisan Collection from Hyperlynks, it is called European Elegance.  It is done in bronze and aluminum and is a European 4 in 1 Bracelet with connecting rings along the edges for stability. 

These last pieces are Japanese  Ball Ornaments. As you can see, these ones are a good size to hang from the Christmas Tree or wherever you would like to have some decoration.  They can be made in a multitude of sizes and in any color.  They are very versatile and not only for decoration, but there are also variations of them that can be a pendant or earrings as well!

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

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.

So..

I know I'm off to a bit of a rough start on this.  I'm still trying to work out exactly how to go about it.  I suppose since I already told you a little about me and what got me started on making chainmaille jewelry, I'll try to describe a little bit about how I'm going about running it as a business. For right now I just have Facebook, Instagram, and word of mouth to get my name and creations out there.  I am hoping that this blog will help as well and will be somewhere for those who may not have social media accounts to get to know me and see my work so they know what they're getting when they make a purchase.  My goal is to hopefully get more people interested in what I'm making and get a bigger base for sales.  I also hope to get some people interested in chainmaille in general because it's pretty amazing stuff.

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.
