The art of chainmaille...

So my experiment with the box chain ended badly. Need smaller rings is all. But I did do a lovely matched set (earrings and bracelet) of 3-1 half persian today, so all is well. I'll update this post with them later on when I can get some photos taken. We'll be treking out to our friend Val's house next Tuesday for a costume fitting. Once everything is done we will upload that photo, too. What's done of it so far is spectacular. DeeDe is doing a wonderful job on it (she's about to gather the skirt, which is tedious when you have 180" of fabric to gather *wipes brow*) I'll be making the jewelry that will go with the costume. Val will be wandering the halls of Norwescon (which is our next show, we'll put up a post a week in advance about it) in it and doing a bit of advertising *squeee*.

As promised... the pic of the Tryzantine bracelet with the matrix opal beads, and a pic of the beads themselves. :D
