This is a result of, I don't know. Funniest thing, if someone asked me how I made it or if I could make another one, I don't think I could.
I try lots of little samples of different Chain Maille weaves. Most often, I finish off a bracelet from the sample. In other words, I get it and now know what I did and how to do it again.
This little piece has been in my box of rings for awhile. I pick it up and put it down again. I really don't remember what I was trying to do.
Well, the other day after I finished a Parallel Rose pendant which involves making Parallel Chain - straight - and then making it into a circle, I picked it up again.
I looked again at this odd sample in my box and played with it. Suddenly, turning it into a circle I came up with something that looked nice. (See picture) In order to keep it in a circle, I added a few rings and one to be able to attach it to a chain. I'm certain, it will take me a long while to make another one, if asked.
I was surprised with and like the results. Now I need to find something to hang it on.
Have any of you made something in this manner?

When I play, I get more ideas than when I'm seriously trying to accomplish something. I don't know if it is a relaxed state of mind that brings things together or what. Seems like maybe that is what happened with this piece. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI do play with my weaves. Chain maille chains are so slinky sometimes it does pay to form them into rings to see what they look like. Yours will look fun on a cord!
