Finally some pics!!


So, it's been a while since my first post! I was super busy this summer with the whole looking for, buying, moving into and doing minor renovations of our loft! Happy to be a home owner though! Now that the winter has set in i have a bit more time to play around with and learn new designs! So here are some random pics - the ones that turned out! :) I mostly have been busy with chainmaille and will go into more detail on each weave alittle later. Until then, enjoy!

Jens's Pind Weave

Full Persian Weave


Birdcage Weave - a.k.a. Byzantine






All braclets are made of 925 sterling silver. I love the look sterling gives, its just so shiney and nice (and cheaper than white gold!)

Since I am still fairly new to jewelry design and chainmaille I will try to post things i learn along the way. So hopefully if you are new to this also you won't have to look around as hard as myself for information!

The one website i have used the most is Maille Artisans. It has all the information you could imagine! Weaves, tutorials, message boards and a nice gallery! It's great!
