Chain-mailling!

Rings!
I've been seeing a lot of chainmaille lately for some reason. Aside from my Game of Thrones catch-ups, that is.
I love the idea of combining chainmaille and fused glass and thought I would give it a go. As luck would have it, we appear to have one of the best ring supply stores right here in town! C&T Designs also happen to be right down the road from where my son has a therapy appt too, so I popped in earlier this week.
Tonight, I managed to sit down and actually play for a few minutes and voila! I actually managed to recreate the pattern I like, which is an original pattern created by Curt at C&T, Acute Helm.
A couple of links in...

So, what do you think?! I'm pretty impressed with myself for a first attempt!

Longer chain!

Making Pendants with Mum!

My mum's lovely work!
Recently my parents were out here in Colorado for a visit from the UK. Whilst here, my mum got to join me in making a few pendants for herself!
Mum and my little helper!
 It was really lovely to be able to do this with my mum and she loved the results, that were all her own!

Backing Cards!

New card ideas!
After finding my little cabinet for display, I thought I should work on some new ideas for backing cards for my pendants.

I will need to work on size, but, I think they look pretty cool!
