Many roads lead here.. again

Ever have an idea and you think okay cool. Then you think.. "Oh wait this one is better?" and then you go.. oh.. wait.. maybe that first idea was the one I needed to do! Yeah.. we will go with that. But they do say mistakes are the best thing to teach us. And lets call this a lesson learned.

The same goes with crafting. I am a chainmaille artist by trade. I have the nicks and scars on my hands to prove it. What is that saying? Wisdom is learned by how much we mess up? Well on this finger here I learned to hold my tools better...

Maybe I should back track just a tiny bit. Chainmaille? Isn't it Chain mail, or Chainmail, better yet isn't it Chain maille? What about Chainmaile? Yes. That is the easy answer. Yes they are all talking about the same thing. ((Even if Chain mail is often also mistaken for "If you share this email the love of your life will come tickle your toes while tiny elves weave gold to the bottoms of your shoes for the low low price of 19.99."))   Okay now that we have that established? Isn't that the stuff knights wore when they were fighting?! The jiggly stuff with the round rings? Yep that's it! So you make Arrmor?!?!

No. Well.. I can. I know how. I use this age old craft for other applications such as Jewellery and accessories. Like this:




Stainless steel and rose quartz.












And even this:

Stainless steel and Hematite.









And so much more! Okay more tomrrow!

Blessings!
