In a little departure from the knitting I have been having a play around with chain maille bracelets made from rubber O rings and anodised aluminium jump rings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is such a lot of fun, although it does take a bit of practice to get used to holding a pair of pliers in each hand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The rubber rings give the bracelets an interesting tactile quality, and are also slightly stretchy, allowing you to make a comfortable bracelet without a fastening, but which doesn’t fall off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got the o-rings<\/a> and the jump rings<\/a> from Bead Sisters<\/a>, along with a very useful book called Chain Mail Jewelry<\/a>, which is suitable for the total beginner but still manages to cover a lot of different techniques.<\/p>\n
