Looking at what I wrote for midwinter #SecretSantaAoNZ and yeah, I still like liquorice/licorice/however you spell it. Beads or charms that I could hang from chainmail earrings (see pics for examples). Stuff I can be creative with.

Wore my modified Pepper Raccoon skull pins (With Added Rainbow Chainmail) for market yesterday and got a bunch of compliments. Need to break them out more often.
Skull pins by Pepper Raccoon linked by two chains: one small silver-coloured one, and a larger rainbow Byzantine-weave one. One of the skulls is winking heavily.

I haven’t done any chainmail in multiple weeks because I’m developing RSI and it’s pissing me off. The last thing I did was this custom Tino Rangatiratanga/Rasta bracelet/cuff:

Kākāriki - a pair of chainmail earrings in bright green with red at the top. Kōkako - a pair of scalemail earrings in four overlapping scales (reminiscent of feathers). The bottom two scales are an elegant grey, the next one up is bright blue like the wattle, and the top is black for the face mask. Takahē - a pair of scalemail earrings in blue and green, with red 'feet'. Tīeke - a pair of black chainmail earrings with a rust-orange patch in the middle.

ok so, the teal is quite bright and stands out very much against the pastel green and pink, but I switched to the pastel blue+green+pink and that looks pretty good (imo). Thoughts?
One and a half chainmail earrings :) The top one is light blue, light green and light pink; the bottom (half) one is the same light green and light pink, but with a bright teal instead of the light blue

A rainbow chainmail bracelet in box weave, looking like a sinuous snake with an s-clasp, ready to wrap around your wrist and bring joy and colour to your life. A rainbow chainmail bracelet in Byzantine weave, with a sterling silver toggle. A bit of chunk to it but still delightful light and sinuous. A rainbow chainmail bracelet in Persian 4-in-1 weave, with contrasting silver-coloured aluminium rings, light and tactile.

So, I made these sterling silver/9kt gold/freshwater pearl earrings a while back, and I've been wanting them to go to a really good home because I love them so much, and now I'm thinking... maybe I will gift them to myself for my graduation for my Master's??? 🧶🇳🇿
A pair of chainmail earrings (as usual), on a Y-shaped black display stand. The earrings are sterling silver with accents of 9kt yellow gold, and each has a freshwater pearl hanging from it. They look delicate and elegant.

Among the pieces I sold last night were these earrings in sterling silver - I do love working in precious metals but can't afford to do it very often. I'm thinking I need to do something special to celebrate completing my Master's but not sure what yet. It'll come.

Makers do gotta make! I played with making some different styles of chain today. Two will be bracelets and the thicker one might be a necklace.
Three rainbow chains diagonally on a white cloth. The top chain is Persian 4-in-1, the middle chain is box chain, and the bottom is Byzantine

Will do! I need to make another order because I ran out of the blue in that size, but I'll make a note to let you know when it's done. And here's some pictures of other rainbow bracelets that don't have black because I love sharing pics. 😊
