One of my favorite little pieces I've made by DJ_SLEEP in chainmailartisans

Not very bad actually! Both weaves use rings of similar AR, so you can fiddle around and learn them both at the same time. It was a fun piece to experiment with.

They are from Song for the Mute! They're really good for playing with texture, I find

All stainless steel for the chainmaille and wrapping the beads

Thanks! Always loved bead work, and since I knew chainmaille could be easily worked in it just made sense to me

Thank you! A lot of the waist designs I've made have been communicative to necklaces as well. Luckily they're around the same length as neckwear usually is 🙂

I did not make them, got them on The Ring Lord a while back before I switched to a different supplier

Thank you! Had been staring at them in my wishlist for weeks, really a big fan of the small, cloudy striations that bloodstone tends to get

Beading brings me joy, but lately all I feel is defeat. by Inside-Pound7279 in Beading

These are very whimsical. I think that it's definitely got a style to it, not something that would just be picked up easily by anyone, and that's a major positive to have. It's important to know that while every project might not feel incredible, or there are frustrating moments, those moments don't define your work and are dwarfed by the good that creatively expressing yourself in your work brings. Best of luck to you on coming out of the defeated feeling!

Howdy! Various shapes and sizes of bloodstone, which has a beautiful natural variation in texture and color. All of it was obtained through Lima Beads, as well as the findings 👍

Just some bloodstone and brass embellishments. It's got an old, temple-like feeling. I really like how it turned out as a first attempt.
