I like trying different things. So I've recently decided to try my hand at chain mail. At first I found it quite tricky and I nearly gave up, because it was completely different to anything I'd done before. But I perservered, and with practice, seemed to get better and better, until I was confident to try an make a bracelet and earring set. This is what emerged - a gold plated Byzantine bracelet with champagne crystals. And now that I know wat I'm doing, I can make these in any colour!
This is the finished bracelet:
This is the finished pair of earrings:
And finally a close-up of the bracelet so that you can see the detail:
I'm really pleased with the resul of my efforts, and will certainly be attempting more chain mail designs - watch this space! :-)
