70s inspired chain maille bracelets




After taking a class, I decided it was time to strike out on my own with some help from the book Chains by Becky. The top bracelet (another present for my mom) is a slight variation on the Byzantine chain. I can't recollect how I came up with the second bracelet. I started with one of the patterns from my book but ended up doing something else entirely. That particular shade of topaz was common in interior decorating in the 70s; I chose to pair it with pink after seeing one of Mary's outfits on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
