Magpie Revisited

After some time off to fight off demon bed bugs and move into a new home, I am venturing back into the world of the Magpie. I took the time to explore the wonderful world of beading with the fantastic people at Bdekk Beads. I have also started a small time cleaning business to make money for my beading and silver smithing addictions.

Sterling Silver Helm Chain


9" argentium chain maille bracelet with big sterling figure 8 clasp.
Chain maille is not normally forged or fused, but I did both to this piece, giving it a really slick look. Can be made smaller.

7.5" Sterling silver chain maille bracelet

This time consuming little necklace is completely hand made, except for the little, inconspicuous lobster claw.
Each link was sawn, fused, formed, sanded and forged by hand.
