WORK IN PROGRESS

Pin It        While working on a piece, I also love to make improvisations. Things turn out to be very different sometimes and I like that dynamism of chainmail a lot!

      On the other hand, I do not work with tutorials and always figure out things by myself so sometimes a pendant like this can take 5 hours to finish, in order to make the ring sizes match correctly without getting too tight or loose.

I have a little, magical, very sweet inspiration as well.. You see a small part of her below but I will share more pictures in the upcoming posts :)

No, unfortunately I do not work for NASA, yet.. :) And maybe chainmail is way too heavy for them..

NATURAL STONES IN CHAINMAIL ARMOR

Pin It I usually collect a few souvenirs from the places I have been to, but I prefer mostly the natural ones. Sometimes a small bottle of sand, sometimes leaves, shells and mostly natural stones. Instead of keeping such things in boxes, I like to see them. Glass jars, small bottles, decorative small plates are ideal for such displays. And I have one more idea to keep them even closer.

So here is a natural stone found from the seaside and surrounded by a chainmail armor (I polished this one but it can also be left unpolished):

Handmade Baby Dragon

Pin It       I like working with clay very much. Especially in times of problems, it is a good way to escape from thoughts and all the boredom. I tried to make a mini dragon this time. I used normal clay (not polymer clay) and I air-dried it. Then handpainted and varnished.

Pin It       I made this dragon eyes by using various materials such as foam, clay, metal scales and glass. Back part is covered with eva and it has a strong magnet attached. The dimensions are app. 4.5 x 6 cm. Most people find these eyes weird but still I love them :)

Metallic Scale Maille Pendant

Pin It

     This one is a quite plain pendant with a very thin chain and somehow it became the center of attention by many friends. I like it also.

Long Chainmail Necklace

Pin It

 Lately I am practising new patterns other than the European style in order to have more variations. This necklace is long but can be folded and used shorter also.

Satin Flower Necklace

Pin It

      I made these flowers from satin fabric. I connected the petals with a crystal bead in the center and attached to a thin ribbon. From these flowers a lot of things can be created. I will share them here as well.
