Hana Gusari Bracelet
I saw a picture of this in a chain maille book (never one for remembering which on) and I thought I would have a go at making it from memory about 6 months later. This is made with Fine Silver plated rings sizes 1.2 x 7.0mm ID and 0.914 x 3.5mm ID. The bangle section is a store bought one where the ball on one end winds off. It is extremely comfortable to wear and the diamond section hangs over the front of the hand and another diamond over the back. It takes a bit of getting used to. Word of warning, Don't try to type with this on, its terribly annoying lol.
New Kits
Three more kits added to my range in the last month. From left to right they are:
Butterfly weave, Box Chain with Turquoise in this case, and Half Persian 3 in 1. These will be in my Oztion shop shortly (tonight if I don't fall asleep first lol). All of my kits are now available in either Fine Silver plated rings or 18k Gold Plated rings. I can cut sterling but please email me for a price first. My bracelet kits are for a 7 1/2 " wrist.
Birthday Pressie
Good heavens, I just looked at when my last post was and its been 6 weeks. I looked twice to make sure it WAS 6 not 2 lol.
This is a coin purse that I made as a Birthday present for Michelle who owns and runs the local beadshop. I work there teaching chain maille and wire art. The purse is created in 1.2mm x 4.5mmID Fine Silver plated rings in European 4 in 1 weave. There are approx 600 rings in this. Does'nt look it hey ? But let me tell you, there are lol. I made this one up as I went along and had to pull it apart in places and redo it several times. 1. so that Michelles money wouldnt fall out the gap 2. so that it would sit nice and flat. The purse top is an inexpensive one from Spotlight. The crystals are pink opal and violet swaros.
