Chainmail Necklace Inspired by “The Astrolabe”

Pin It

🛠 While making this chainmail necklace, I got inspired by the magnificent computer of the ancients: “The Astrolabe” • The name is derived from Greek astrolabos meaning "star-taker" and it is used by astronomers to predict the positions of the sun, moon, stars and the planets. 

💫 I wrote more about it in my older posts so you can check it out under the "Written By Xn" section. 

And here is the final Xn Chainmail work:

New Photo-Shoot with Ilgın Akarsu

Pin It

Good quality and nicely planned photographs are one of the most essential features of handmade works in order to express and display them in the best possible way. I have a friend who is at the same time one of my favorite photographers, Ilgın Akarsu. Few weeks ago we had a very enjoyable photo shooting with her in her studio and she pictured some of my leading chainmail accessories and dragon eggs.

Where Is Chainmail In My Life? Everywhere Everyday :)

Pin It

I was trying to make a daily-life combination with a chainmail armour and some other pieces. This is a quickly done selection but I like it actually.      

Will I wear it? Yes I will. (But I'd rather recommend it for spring or summer since it is ice-cold! :)

Knitted Ant Jumper is Finished!

Pin It       As you may remember, I have been knitting another unique design jumper. I didn't want to leave it aside unfinished so yesterday I finished it. I am very satisfied with the final product. (Because sometimes, after all stitches are done, you wear it on and see that the shoulders ended up as sharp cones :) Luckily that was not the case this time and here it is:

Knitting Season Has Started!

Pin It       One of the most comforting hobbies in my life is knitting, especially in winter time. I really forget all the other things and clean my mind or if I need to think about a project, idea or just some "thing", it is also a good way to concentrate. After a couple of hours, you will not believe how much you've progressed.
      Nowadays it is not yet the real winter but I decided to start my favorite season with knitting :) Here is a blue hemstitch cardigan that I knitted:

It was supposed to look like vintage and I still doubt that :)
