Variation on Harvest Moon Chainmaille Bracelet
I wanted to make a quick bracelet today so I decided on Harvest Moon by Zili, since I had the rings for it. But once it was done, I felt it loses a bit its shape when on my wrist, so to stabilize it and give it some more fullness, I added small rings throughout. And it turned out like this.
Here are a few pics.

Mystique Chainmaille Bracelet
I've started this chain maille bracelet about a month ago, but life happened, so I had to put it aside until now. As I'm going on holidays next week, I wanted to finish it by then, as it will travel with me, on my wrist.
The weave is called Mystique, it's a modified Euro 4 in 1. A bit tough to add the last set of copper rings, but it was fun nonetheless.

Dragonscale Chainmaille Bracelet
I've finally got the hang of the dragonscale chain maille weave. Took me a while to learn it, but now that I got going with it, I can't believe how easy it actually is.
Bracelet is in bronze and copper rings, all handcut with the jewelry saw one by one (*sigh I wish I had a Ringinator, alas maybe later in the year).
Here are a few pics of the finished piece. I might change the clasp though, as I'm not too happy with it.

First Work in 2015 - Hodo Chainmaille Bracelet
I took a small break from making jewelry last year, but I am back now, and here is the first piece I made this year. Copper/bronze chainmaille bracelet based on a weave called Hodo.
I wanted something simple yet stylish and visually appealing, and the Japanese family of weaves fits pretty well this criteria. The creator of this weave, if I'm not mistaken, is Rebeca Mojica, the author of the popular book Chained, which I have.
I do like this bracelet, but next time I will use smaller sizes for the small connecting rings for a tighter look.
