All colors of dragons lately! Here is my ice-blue one. AND I have a BIG order coming from RTL coming for more...I'm really beginning to have fun with these.

Next need to do is have my daughter and bf help with making a short vid of how to put it on and off. I'm a big fan of Vihart, so it may gently take after that.

This is my omgwhatamIthinking piece. Gah. It's a monster. No choice but to forge ahead! ONWARD!!

It's amazing how varies chainmaille can be. from delicate and lacy to you-can't-stick-a-knife-through-this!

 A Golden Dragon bracelet, with a touch of silver, amber crystal eyes, and a mint green glass pearl.

...and a Winter Dragon bracelet with ice blue crystal eyes, borealis crystal skull, with gun metal and white chainmail.

Perfect gift for the fantasy, dragon loving person in your life!

...one can never have enough dragons is one's life!

A purple dragon and one of gun metal rings.

I also reread 7 Pern books. The things I'm able to do during summer vacation!

These are Japanese balls, or dodecahedron. Made with 96 rings, they are a fidget-ers dream toy!

I have a basket of them on my work table. The Man can't go by without playing with them, lol.

Okay, well maybe not exactly, and Deathwing ignores me anyway...

I found a new/old craft that has captured my attention and wallet.  (I don't buy clothes or shoes, I buy crafty materials.)

Chain mail was created sometime in the middle of the 1st millennium BC as a form of protection from slashing and piercing weapons, and since I've been wildly successful in this life in avoiding such attacks, I'm pursuing the decorative form, 'chainmaille' ( /cute accent).

Inspired by a fellow wire wrapper, H Pham, who posted a picture of a dragon bracelet, of which he made one, soon after discovering that he didn't like doing chainmaille,  I attempted my own. After doing chainmaille for one week. Cause that's the way I fly.

Here's the result~

Made out of 270 copper based jump rings in two sizes, Swarovski crystals for eyes, glass bead head for head and on mane, and 18g and 28g wire.

I struggled with the closure. I tried claws, hooks, magnetic clasps. But everyone knows dragons don't have those dangling off their bodies! Mine keeps me company as I work (play) on the computer, and it disrupts the sinuous line and I don't want a grumpy dragon. So i fashioned the lower whiskers into 'hooks' that when her head is reared as she settles on your wrist, it latches down through the edge rings of the body as she snuggles securely on your wrist.  Rear her head again, and she slips off.

Did I mention I went shopping? Many dragonlings should follow, to be available in my jewelry Etsy shop.
