    Default Maille bracelet

    After my bits of sample chain, I made this on Sunday as a prototype:

    Helm chain in bright aluminium with seed beads. I rather like it because it let me add some colour without having to use coloured rings.

    I made the toggle from a tutorial on mailleartisans.org - I think next time I should make the bar a bit longer. It was originally, but I couldn't get it through to put it on, so shortened it a little... and now it stays on fine in normal wear, but can come undone if the end gets caught in clothing and twists round.

    I should have my new camera by this time next week!

    I like the added beads to your bracelet Heather, I think it gives it a little twist

    I'm hoping for world peace but I'd also like something shiny as well...
