Then I thought the half dragonback chain might work well with a watch face I picked up not so long ago at a craft show. The watch face came from a beading shop. I had some pink anodised aluminium rings going spare so I used those with the silver bright aluminium rings to make two short chains.
I linked up each chain to the watch and used a 2 strand slide clasp as a closure. I really like these slide clasps. Just tug on both mushroom ends at once, and the clasp will slide apart into two pieces. I think this type of clasp works well for bracelets. It locks snugly for a sleek and secure fastening.
Pretty, don't you think?
Sewing is next on the projects list as I quite fancy making a Sis Boom Jamie dress. Sara over at Sew Sweetness is hosting a Jamie dress sew-along and I rather like the idea of a new dress for the summer. No idea what it would look like on me - but I'll have a go at it anyway.
Have a great day, friends.

Ooh I have a spare watch face waiting for a new strap. I'm not as good at chain maille as you are so I might need to practice a bit more. Your chain is lovely.

Very pretty and I like the clasp - they didn't have them in my beading shop in Canada. If I ever find a beading shop over here (and that's lower on my priority list than finding fabric and yarn stores!), I have to look out for them.
ReplyDeleteI'm just not getting any crafting done - maybe soon!
Love the picture of that dress. I think it's a flattering style for most people!! If I had somewhere set up to sew, I'd consider joining in too.
It is fab! What a great watch, and so unique!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Ady. Really, really pretty.
