Different

 Different

      I added a few "roses" to the pattern and started another bracelet.  I'm surprised how comfortable the bracelets.  I haven't take both of mine off.  There is no tarnishing, the color had not scraped off, and they don't blacken my wrist.

Chain Maille

 Chain Maille

       A friend, gave me a book on chain maille and some some jump rings.  She had an extra book and used to sell the chainmaille jewelry, when she lived in western Washington.  Here is the first lesson on the "Idiots Delight" (Byzantine).   I had made the bracelet with bright aluminum jump rings.

Confirmation

 Confirmation

      We had two confirmands, this spring.  Here is one of the crosses.  Yes, they are from my favorite book by Lene Bjorn.  I used one strand of sewing thread to add a little color.
