Byzantine Weave Chain Maille Bracelet

Labels: | at 5:29 AM

I made this very thin chain maille bracelet for myself using the Byzantine Weave in three colours - silver, brass and natural copper with Botswana Agate gemstone oval bead as the focal. Wires were slowly wound around mandrels and then each coil is cut into rings one by one. These rings are then carefully woven together to create the bracelet. Necklaces, earrings, anklets could also be made out of this weave.
The main purpose I made this bracelet is to test its durability when made with the artistic wire/designer craft wires. Been wearing it for for the past 2 weeks, 24 hours a day, doing household chores without taking it off, even when showering.
Final verdict:
Still shiny and looks as good as new with the silver and brass coloured wires but the sheen has disappeared for the copper coloured section but nevertheless, I like the 'antique' look of the copper wire. Will wear it for another two weeks or so to see the outcome again.

A Short Break .....

| at 4:54 AM

Yoohoo... I'm back after a short break.
The Winter Solstice Festival and Christmas has been celebrated, and the year end school term is coming to an end in a week's time. I have been kept occuppied since the school holiday started last November. Now I can't wait for my children to go back to school so that I can have half the morning doing my house chores in absolute peace. Oh... how I crave for that moment! =)))
I've also been absent from my work table from time to time to deal with more important things like .....oh well, a hundred and one things that needed to be looked into. But in between all these, I still manage to steal a little bit of time pondering over the fashion or jewelry magazines for ideas and inspirations as well as to motivate myself. At times, the creative juice just won't flow and I'd be staring at my work table for nothing. Sometimes with wires and tools in hand but nothing came out of it.
The year 2010 is just a few days away and I hope to do more wire crafting as well as to learn new things that am passionate about. New year resolutions.......? Nope, making resolutions is not for me.
So, here's wishing best wishes to every one. May you find health, wealth, wisdom, good friends, good times and happiness thru' out the year. Last but not least, thank you for your support in handmade crafts.
~~ oo ~~ Emily ~~ oo ~~
