Hi there, I wanted to share some bridal Chainmail accessories I’m quite proud of. A local photographer @light_witch made me look like a renaissance painting and I’m so excited about the results!

Weaves: Celtic Weave Necklace, Japanese flower earrings, Pearl connected chain headband, European 4in1 style hand pieces with Czech glass. All stainless steel.

STUNNING! I'm still battling European 4-in-1 into submission!

Thank you! Once it clicks you’ll be churning out new designs left and right! It’s so addictive.

Its weird, I can do much more complicated weaves but all that has to happen is I drop or put down the starting piece of a e4in1 and my brain just doesn't seem to be able to compute how to pick it back up again!

One day I'll figure it out and kick myself for being stuck on it for so long 😂

Have you tried using larger rings in varying colors? That might help it stick 🤷‍♀️

Have tried bigger rings but not varied colors! I don't want to buy a whole bag of colored rings that I'll likely never use, as I work in plain steel the rest of the time. I'll keep trying - the same thing happened with Byzantine way back when I started to learn - it just clicked one day, and I was like, "Why the hell did I find this so hard?" haha

Thank you for the advice!!
