    Oh my goodness. Thank you for the inspiration. I have collected a lot of filigree and beads over the years, usually using just 1-3 pieces of filigree in my pieces, but getting packs of many so I have a lot in my craft room. These are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

    1. You so badly need a one step looper for things like this! I know you are clearly very practiced at making loops, but it just makes things so much easier! 2. I think it's adorable how much you say 'I don't really know why I am trying to explain this to you, you can see what I'm doing' 🥰 Please stop putting yourself down though - it's really helpful to have the voiceover to know what size jumprings you are using and how you are attaching the bits together. Also those necklaces look absolutely stunning on you, and I shall definitely be making a version for myself, so thank you 💜

      Titanium might not ping your allergies ... it's more expensive and hard to work with, but if it's ok for you it might be worth it. Most chain mail suppliers will carry titanium rings ... my favorite but completely non-affiliated supplier is The Ring Lord.
      There might also be plastic filigree pieces, or you could 3D print them.

    • @alisa9040
      @alisa9040 6 месяцев назад +4

      Assuming that you are allergic to every metal in the world:
      have you heard of tatting? It's a way to make lace by tying knots. It's really labor intensive, but is really sturdy. I bet you could incorporate beads into that as well.
      In addition, you could make a friendship bracelet style choker in all sorts of patterns. (Same type of knots as tatting, actually.)
      You could also crochet and make cool things with that.

      @@alisa9040 I've not tested every thing in the world, but basically high quality white gold is about the only thing that will not cause my special snowflake skin to freak out. So I'm expensive. 😂 I do know what tatting is and I knit (and, yes, sometimes the needles make my hands angry) and weave bands, so, yes I could stop whining and do something about it. 😉

    • @VeretenoVids
      @VeretenoVids 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@lizcademy4809 I haven't tried titanium. Is that the metal that they basically need the jaws of life to break if you need to have a ring or something removed in an emergency?

    • @lizcademy4809
      @lizcademy4809 6 месяцев назад +2

      @@VeretenoVids I don't know about that ... titanium is very hard and brittle, so I don't think it would make a good safety ring.
      When my daughter was in her high school Goth phase, and I taught her how to make chainmail, she made a "permie" choker for herself. I insisted (and she understood why) that she close it with a single red ring, the only one on the choker. It was aluminum, could be twisted off by strong hands if necessary, and the rest of her work would not be ruined.
      She did not have metal allergies to worry about.

    The Chain Mail Lady of Arisia approves.
    For about 10 years I taught chainmail at the SF con Arisia. [I also have a self-published book out there, though I don't mean this post to be a plug.] My classes focused on the basics ... using the techniques with beads and filigree. is a wonderful extension of the techniques.

  • @kathleenburns7065
    @kathleenburns7065 6 месяцев назад +5

    IMO and this just may be my ADD but honestly your tutorials are some of the best here on YT. To me everything is very clearly explained and makes sense, you show as well as described what you were doing and the little bit of chatter just makes it feel more natural as if I happen to be in the studio with you verses the other side of a screen. Okay now to the pretty shiny things, I just love that brass and green combo and that gunmetal and red screams goth. I personally would have played with resin on the dangles as they remind me of stained glass windows. I so cannot wait for this look book. And don’t feel bad about the hair, I haven’t had a hair cut other than the dead trim I give myself for about a year now lol.
