Oh, hey, I almost forgot! Look what I made myself for my birthday!

Somebody needs a haircut.

It's a fall-colors triple Byzantine chain with a leaf clasp. I was really happy to find the clasp, because it can be worn on the front as a centerpiece if I want.

The lighting in my house: still bad.

I do want!

Here's some better lighting. The colors are all my favorites--I'm a fall colors kinda person, if you didn't know. (You totally knew.) I had a bit of a stretch in cognition to make the colors alternate properly, since my brain takes a minute with some of those tasks. But I worked it out!

Up close. I rather enjoy working with chainmaille, but it does cramp up the hands after a while. However, I am trying to build up a bit of an inventory of this plus my friendship bracelets; the goal is to start a fairly well-stocked Etsy store by January. We'll see if that works. For now, though, at least I get to enjoy the making and the wearing!

That's gorgeous, and the clasp is amazing! Very LOTR. May I ask where you got the clasp?

Jo-Ann's, actually. I don't remember the name of the manufacturer. Next time I go I'll check.

Very pretty! (And I, too, may need to go looking for clasps like that.)
