//// Jewelry DIY:s

Crocheted earring utilizing regular jewelry wire. I need more of it to make a pair. This took about 10 meters — and it is quite large, sweeping my shoulder when I’m wearing it.
A simple chainmail cuff with four to one weave. Just wanted to practice the technique with a very simple item — but I think that I ended up with quite usable piece! Closed with seven parrot locks — but I’m considering making it just a bit larger so I can just pull it to my wrist. And maybe a bit wider, too. But I need more jump rings!

Virkattu korvis on hieno! Niin tuo “lanka” on ilmeisesti sitä normaalia, ohutta ja taipuisaa koruvaijeria ( en nyt saa päähäni sen virallista nimeä..), jota myydään esim. Sinellissä? Virkkaus taisi alkaa kuulostaa munkin korviin hauskalta hommalta, voisinkin kaivella omat vaijerit ja koukut esiin

These pieces are intricately amazing. I can’t believe you were able to crochet wire!

wow — those earrings are breathtaking!

Crocheting the wire was not exactly fun and relaxing — but possible, indeed!
Salka, luulen, että tämä on justiinsa sellaista peruskoruvaijeria — jos tarkemmista tiedoista on iloa, niin ostin sen (kivanmuotoisten mattakultaisten korviskoukkujen vetämänä) täältä: http://www.etsy.com/listing/50707382/j140-g-gold-plated-29-gauge-wire-10m

these are so amazing! what a fantastic idea. the cuff looks like a bunch of jump rings connected. i’m trying to figure out how it is crocheted. wow. talent!

Yes, it is a bunch of jump rings connected — that is how chain mail is done. There are lots of tutorials in the net — and the technique is far more simple than I had thought. It took about 2 hours to make this cuff.
