Chainmaille chrysanthemum

I was looking for something to make like a pendant or a center piece for my bracelet. My first choice was a heart but then I found a very nice Chrysanthemum chain maille pattern.

Full Persian Chain maille Bracelet

I have been wanting to make a chain maille lariat for a long time and I kept on searching for the eave which will make a long chain look good. Finally I found the Full Persian Chain maille weave and I started it. Bit I grew impatient and I made a bracelet out of the chain I had made already. Next will be lariat

And I made a Chrysanthemum with the weave pattern I found here. This is the center point of my bracelet for which I used a toggle clasp to close

Cubic RAW necklace

This has been one of my favorite projects to make. Once you get the hang of the weaving technique, it just happens naturally

For this beautiful black and necklace I used Tubular Right angle weave or cubic RAW with size 8 seed beads and ending with size 10 black seed beads

Shopping bag Pendant

This is from one of so many websites which keep sending you email ever so often with craft ideas. This is a pendant using plastic shopping bags. I used two shopping bags, one in yellow and one in brown.

Using a leaf template cut many leaves out of the bags and burn them using a grill lighter and put a hole in it and hang it from a chain. Mine is golden colored Aluminium chain

I have had a necklace for ages and I love it, love it, love it. And I , for long, wondered what stitch was used to make it. And finally I figured it out and made a necklace by myself using the "Even Count Tubular Peyote Stitch" . It is a bit time consuming but the results are AAAmazing

I used seed beads in shiny blue, green, turquoise and gold. And I love it
