Practice

Well last week I spent quite some time looking for a tutorial for a Byzantine Triangle weave for chain maille. No luck. Today I managed to find a photo of the weave used in a chain, and thought that I may be able to just wing it. Well it worked and I am pleased to show a photo of it. Unfortunately it is slightly blurry for some reason.



So this week I cut some more rings and get cracking on a necklace incorporating these triangle segments.

Thanks for having a look and catch you later.

Ciao for now!!!

Beading Forum Swap

Over on the Australian Beading Forum we have just had our first Metal/Wire Working Swap. We had a theme of Spring and had to make a pendant for around $5.00.
I made the following pendant for Alison(Pumpkinflower).....


It is made of sterling silver, freshwater pearl and a citrine.

I received from my swap sender, the VERY talented Erin Johnson, the following gorgeous pendant....
