…and I think next time I do this version I may adjust the colour ratios so gold stays more dominant, maybe try the diamond pattern I did in the other one. I’ll experiment, that’s what makes these fun! (Side by side repeat photos of them being worn for funsies)

A chainmail hand flower, modelled on my left hand, which is held in a loose fist in front of a neutral fabric background. It is in the design of a Triforce made from the Japanese 12-in-2 weave, with a finger loop made from a simple Doubled 2-in-1 chain, and a cuff bracelet made from a tight European 4-in-1 weave. The Triforce is entirely in gold, while the finger loop is alternating rings of gold and silver, and the bracelet is gold with a silver diamond pattern inlaid.

The Triforce is made primarily of gold, but the inner connecting rings in each triangle are red in the top one, blue in the bottom left, and green in the bottom left. The finger loop and bracelet alternate gold rings with a repeating pattern of red, blue, and green.

Each triangle is associated with one of the Goddesses, and has the corresponding colour: red for Din, Goddess of Power; blue for Nayru, Goddess of Wisdom; and green for Farore, Goddess of Courage. I incorporated the colours into the bracelet and finger loop as well,…

The all-gold one is almost identical to the original I made last summer, I just played with a diamond pattern in the bracelet to vary it up a little. The other has colours to represent the three Golden Goddesses in Zelda lore who made the Triforce.

Haha, you’re the second person to point out that I missed some of the most important information! :P I’ll be live on twitch at twitch.tv/beardedhobbitcreations Eventually I may learn to simultaneously broadcast on multiple platforms, but that’s a little beyond my abilities at the moment.

What will I stream? Whatever I feel like! Sometimes chainmail and other crafts, sometimes digital art, sometimes video games. Tune in to find out!

I even have a whole new set-up for craft streams, with a proper stand and ring-light and everything! It’s still pretty primitive overall, but it’s an improvement over everything I’ve had before! Baby steps. :P Planning to commit to at least one night a week, thinking of Tuesdays for consistency.
2/3
My set-up for a crafting stream, looking down at a wooden dining table. A ring light on a stand holds my phone, pointed down at the crafting space, where chainmailling pliers sit next a couple pieces of jewelry, surrounded by plastic trays of rings, one open to show the rings inside, several more sitting closed next to the tackle box used to contain them. The area also includes a drink in a glass, and a small orange triceratops stuffie in a matte gold chainmail shirt. The whole picture is shot as if looking over the shoulder of where I’ll be working. Some cupboards can be seen in the background, along with a grey-green hobbit cloak draped over a couple of chairs.

…or even to be used at events that have trinket trading. They’re simple and super quick for me to make, but cute and colourful! Banana and quarter for scale.
2/2
Four scale mail keychains arranged next to a Canadian quarter on a neutral fabric background. Each keychain is made of one large scale and one medium scale attached to a 24mm split ring by a small stainless steel ring. The colour combinations, clockwise from the to left listing the large scale first, are black and gold, pink and blue, silver and green, and black and red. The larger scales are roughly equivalent in size to the quarter. A collection of small scale mail keychains spread out on a neutral fabric background. Made in an assortment of colour combinations, each keychain is made of one large scale and one medium scale attached to a 24mm split ring by a small stainless steel ring. The colours include the whole rainbow range, as well as black, silver, champagne and copper.

The others are called a Japanese Cross, and I’ll make more of those as soon as I have more rings in the right sizes. :P

A pair of chainmail earrings hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background. These are made from anodized aluminum in a style known as “Japanese Cross”, as the basis for the pattern is a small section of Japanese 12-in-2 weave. The larger rings are black, connected by smaller golden rings, with the central connecting rings in a steel grey colour known as “black ice”. Hanging from silver earring hooks.

…vary up the bracelet a little. The second includes red, blue, and green to represent the three goddesses, and they will be incorporated into the bracelet too.

A chainmail Triforce handflower, made in the Japanese 12-in-2 weave connected to a European 4-in-1 bracelet, and a doubled 2-in-1 finger loop, all made from anodized aluminum. The Triforce itself is all in gold, while the bracelet and finger loop are in silver and gold. Modelled on the hand of the buyer, held near her hip at the outdoor market where it was sold.

…I think the style with different colours in one ring unit didn’t work out like I hoped it would. May need to remake those…

A pair of chainmail earrings hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background. Made from anodized aluminum in the Double Spiral weave, also known as the Spiral 8-in-2. These earrings are made in orange and blue, with each unit of two rings having one of each colour, in an attempt to make two individual colour spirals winding down the chain together. They are suspended from gold earring hooks by a smaller silver ring. A pair of chainmail earrings hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background.

…using specific colours. Here are a few earrings that use colour to represent the Rooster Teeth and Harry Potter fandoms. And yes, some creators are problematic, but I can’t deny the impact that their franchises have had on nerd culture, and they don’t get any money from these pieces, so enjoy!

A pair of chainmail earrings, hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background. The rings are made from anodized aluminum, and are woven in a short section of the Persian 6-in-1 pattern. The colours of the rings are four units of gold and one unit of black at the bottom, mounted with a smaller gold ring onto gold earring hooks. The colours were chosen to represent the “Tower of Pimps” from Rooster Teeth’s gaming subsidiary Achievement Hunter, originally used in their Minecraft series of games. A composite of four photos of chainmail earrings, each pair hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background. The earrings are made from anodized aluminum rings in the European 6-in-1 weave, and are coloured to represent the four Hogwarts Houses from the Harry Potter series. Clockwise from the top left: Red and gold rings on gold earring hooks for Gryffindor; black and yellow rings on gold hooks for Hufflepuff; green and silver rings on silver hooks for Slytherin; and blue and bronze rings on silver hooks for Ravenclaw.

The design is simple but pretty, and using different colours of scales, very versatile. I don’t know if the pattern has an official name beyond “simple scale earrings”, but it works!
2/2
A composite photo of four sets of simple scale mail earrings, each hanging from a plastic rod in front of a neutral fabric background. Each made from three small anodized aluminum scales, linked vertically, joined by anodized aluminum rings to earring hooks. The top scales overlap to the front, with each lower scale sitting behind the upper, so most of the rings are hidden. Clockwise for the top left, they are: green, silver, and bronze, with silver rings and hooks; blue, green, and purple, with pink rings and silver hooks; red, green, and red, with silver rings and gold hooks; and blue, orange, and blue, with silver rings and gold hooks.

Anyways, for WiP Wednesday, check out some pieces I’ve been making as size tests! Some designs I’ve been making since I was young, some I’m just learning for the first time!
