One of the beading magazines had instructions, so after lunch I grabbed my pliers and my jumprings, and settled down to learn something new.
After 45 minutes, I had this:
And 3 hours later, I ran out of jumprings, but my design was long enough to attach a toggle, so now I have a byzantine bracelet!
Opening and closing all those jumprings hurts my arthritic wrist, but I am just crazy about chainmaille!
As soon as I secure some more jumprings, I'll be making more of these - this pattern is gorgeous!
But for now, I've got some wire-wrapping to attend to....

Wow, that's great! Sounds like you had fun learning it, and got a beautiful bracelet too!
Melody - it really IS fun! But I am going to have to get a couple of cortisone injections in my wrist and thumb before I do it again!
And I still had time today to finish my first collaboration with SandFibers - details to follow...
