Hand Chains

Hand chains I made before christmas. 'And you're only just posting them?' I know! This blog is neglected. The once a week posting routine is working out pretty well for me though. How is it for you? I made them using chains, one thin gold, the other a mid thickness silver, jump rings and magnetic claps making it easy to get them done up around the wrist but meaning I spend a lot of time detaching myself from metallic objects.

p.s. I'm not naked in these photos. Just wearing a strapless top.

Ankle Chains

I was inspired by Maegan of Love Maegan who instead of splashing out on shoes with chains simply wrapped some old chunky necklaces around her ankles and transformed an existing pair of shoes (see her posts here and here). I didn't happen to have any chunky necklaces lying around but a quick click on the bead shop (totally my go to place for all jewellery making supplies) and I had, thick chain, jumps rings, and clasps. All the stuff I needed to make my own ankle chains.

I made two that wrap around my ankle twice and two that wrap around once, in both gold and gun metal.

I can wear them alone.

Or mixed together.
