Amulet with Viking Knit Chain

Back in December I did a little research on a technique called Viking Knit. It is a method of wire weaving that creates a small tube/chain that can be used for necklaces or bracelets. It takes quite a bit of time (like most of my hobbies!) but it makes for an amazing piece of wearable art. Below are pictures of an amulet necklace I made with a large white howlite donut, black tourmaline beads, black glass flowers, white pearls and rutilated quartz tear drops.

Soooooo.........

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh.
Well, obviously, my plan of trying to get three blog posts in a week in April didn't happen. Or in May...or in June!
So I've been busy!
First came the Maryland Faerie Festival, which was a blast. Then came an interesting stack of custom orders that I am still weeding through. Then there was the wedding planning, which is still trucking along. Now I am laid up with a sprained wrist (right, which is my current dominant hand) so just about nothing is happening, even though it should be!

I have a ton of new pictures to post in my flickr gallery, and some really fun new custom orders to share with you. This is a custom pair of cellophane fairy wings that I created to specification for a lovely May bride. Theses strapless wings are a little under 5' in height and are around 2.5" wide.
