I tried chain maille once. It took a few hours for my eyes to uncross.
I just bought a rotating circular earring stand and I'm working on filling that up with holiday earrings to sell at my office's craft fair. I got some really cute ceramic and lampwork beads from Rings and Things. Mushrooms, Cupcakes, Lady bugs, Rubber Duckies, and of course Mittens, Christmas trees, starlight mint beads.
I wish I could figure out how to do a simple wire wrap. I've been shown how to do it. I've watched vids on it on you tube. It's like my head has a mental block.
I love Fire Mountain Gems. I love getting to that next level for the discount!!!
I just bought a strand of lapis lazuli in an oval shape. I strung it with gold spacers, but it doesn't lie right on my neck. I think I'm going to have to do mostly round beads, the spacers and then the ovals for accent.
Cool thread!! Thanks for posting!
