Found in the Complete Metalsmith in the chain section, this is a really nice chain for a crafty little person like me! I like the idea especially for the bead-charm bracelets that are popular right now.
It also seems like an ideal solution for my butterfly problem.
The first one came out a bit irregular but, drawn to a smaller size, it looks pretty good. My jewelry teacher showed me the chain and suggested ending it with tubing.
The second one will be a bracelet. I added a couple of loops (5 loop woven chain) and some gemstones.
Tomorrow I should get these two pieces done. The dragonfly is being graded right now, but hopefully I'll get the soldering fixed tomorrow in class.
