They had a kit for a scalemaille bracelet and earrings (in an assortment of colors) and I knew I had to give it a whirl!
The instructions were very clear and I was off and running in no time. Now keep in mind, this is also rated as a beginner kit and once I got the hang of the pattern I whipped this piece up in an evening.
I went a little crazy and didn't realize just how long I was making the bracelet. Once I stopped, I noticed it was far too long for my tiny wrists.
I removed a section and finished the bracelet off with a lobster claw clasp.
The kit actually came with instructions for a more dangly pair of earrings but I decided to make earrings with the sections I removed from the bracelet.
I highly recommend the kits from HyperLynks. Next up, I'll be learning Helm's Weave. Stay tuned for a blog post on that in the near future!
Happy Beading!

I love scales and these are so cool!! So much fun!!
ReplyDeleteEarrings are very cute!
ReplyDeleteHyperlynks has been my source for learning many of the weaves as well; byzantine was my first adventure, and I am, a year or so later, well and truly hooked. I've had the opportunity to take a few classes from Michelle @Hyperlynks as well, and she's a great teacher in person also.
ReplyDeleteGreat color! And I've always been fascinated by scales! I may have to give this a try! Thank you for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how that was done when I first saw it. I think that it would look awesome in black & gold. Or teal & copper. Or...
ReplyDeleteYou have been inspiring me with your explorations!
