I've gotten my hands into something new: chainmaille! And I love it.
People watch me doing it, and shake their heads, but it is a lot of fun. I describe it as sort of like beadweaving, except with jumprings - I am weaving the jumprings together. But now that I think about it, these head-shakers are the same ones who shake their heads at beadweaving, so there you go.
I just listed my first chainmaille creation in my Etsy shop - take a look!
And now I am waiting on a huge order of brightly colored niobium jumprings, so I can make more stuff!

Thanks, Melody! I can't believe how much I enjoy it!
I've signed up for a week of chainmaille classes in August, to learn some in-depth stuff - cant wait!
I've never seen chain maille earrings. I love them ! Very nice !
Thanks, retro!
Gorgeous design and such fun too! My hubby does maille and I admire it so!! If you haven't heard of The Ring Lord they're a great resource for chain maille artisans - have fun!!
Thanks - I found them a couple of weeks ago, and you're right - they are fabulous!
Those are lovely! I don't know how you do the chainmaille! It's wonderful!
Thanks Anna - I didn't think I would like it, but I love it! If you have the patience for beadweaving, you can do chainmaille!
