Next week is Thanksgiving, and with it comes Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Stay tuned for some flash sales!

Some of the stuff littering my room...

In all its pre-yanking glory.

Escaping marble, Captured Marble, and a little trapped bead.

Here it is, in all its finished glory!

This cross is by far the most complicated chainmaille project I have ever done-- especially because I had absolutely no instructions. I'd seen someone on Etsy make a chainmaille cross, but it was in a Persian weave, which I have not yet learned. So I winged it!

I got the jumprings from UnkamenGifts-- the colors are spectacular. As soon as I opened the bag, I knew that I had to make something in a rainbow fade...

I'm calling this the Byzantine Cross because, not only is it made in a Byzantine weave, but because the colors are typical of the artwork of the Church's Byzantine rite.

First try

FLOPPINESS!

Pulling it apart

Putting it back together.

The back of the revised edition.

Here are several new things-- all in one post because I didn't feel like making separate posts for each one.

 Another Evenstar ( <--- check out my tutorial!) The top leaf flipped over, and I didn't notice it until it was too late. Oh well.

Another Helm Weave chainmaille bracelet.

Small fantasy-ish wrapped aquarium rock.

A pretty pendant from Walmart; I've yet to do anything with it but take a picture. :)

A (slight) variation on my Star Wars pendant. It is a Byzantine chainmaille weave.

It reminded me of something from a sci-fi or fantasy film. Hence the name!

A third variation of the Firework Orbitals-- this time totally girly and topped with "diamonds"!

Like I'd mentioned before, I bought a set of sample jump rings from Unkamen Supplies. Well, I had to have a way to sort them...

So I used these memory card cases (I have a nice, padded case for camera memory cards now-- funny story how I got it...)

Oh, dear! Some incredibly mismatched jump rings and a touch of color exploded all over my desk, changing my Firework Orbital design into a bright and cheerful explosion of dangling rainbows.

I recently got together with some family friends, who are like little sisters almost. :) They are SO quick to catch on. In the space of an hour, Marlena made the wrapped rock pendants (and developed a cool way of wrapping them) and Christiana made the earrings shown below: The rocks, and some other creations, are for our Church's Oktoberfest.

The top two earrings are based off of my Peacock Garden. I loved how Christiana used Christmas colors in them, and then plain bronze topped with blue!

The bottom left earrings are based off of my Musical Notes, and the right are based off my Fireworks.
