• Chainmaille Earring a Day

  I’ve been busy…. with lots of things. A little peek into my life away from creating chainmaille jewelry – I’ve been running my Grade 3 daughter around to her dance classes all weekend including some auditions today for the competitive dance troupe at her studio. When I’m ‘taxi Mom’, I often have either some knitting with me or, especially if I’m prepping for a big event, I’ll have my rings and pliers with me and you’ll see me weaving chainmaille as I patiently wait. We also had my Mom’s birthday to celebrate this weekend and my little boy’s soccer practices… so now, as I reflect on the weekend, I’m surprised that we’ve already reached the end of Sunday evening and that Monday is already around the corner.

  

  Box Chain Anodized Titanium Chainmaille Earrings

  Nonetheless, I did sneak in creative moments left right an centre and earrings were the name of the game.  Stay tuned as I present one earring a day over the course of this week.  First up, I was playing around with my favourite, the anodized titanium rings in a muted rainbow mix of colours.  I created a short dangle using the box chain weave and then finished it off with a moebius chainmaille flower.  The ear wires are made from natural coloured niobium which is said to be hypo-allergenic so these earrings are great for individuals with metal sensitivities.  They are now available in my Etsy shop

  Watch this spot for more new earrings!!!

  In event news, I just added my next confirmed Christmas show to the event calendar – the Abbotsford Arts Council Christmas Craft Fair which will take place the weekend of November 27-29!!!  It seems like a long way off but I always fool myself into thinking how far off events are and the next thing I know, the time as snuck up on me!!!
