Description
I recently got a couple gorgeous satyr stampings from a fellow Etsy seller. I sat there and looked at them for days and days before an appropriate design came to me. It's exactly as I saw it in my head on day one, it doesn't normally work out that well lol.All the chains in this were made by hand, each link cut individually. The top chain is all 20 gauge, and the draping chains are all 22 gauge, roughly 2mm links.
The leaf stamping came from the same seller. I used a couple three hole spacers where all the chains meet. 8mm sea foam colored nugget beads, 4mm Palace Green swarovski crystals, and various sized light green Czech glass beads, various caps, and stuff.
Lots of work in this one, but I didn't time it. It was done over the coarse of several evenings. The links were the most time consuming.

This is the Etsy shop from which I got the Satyr stamping, go see her good stuff

This is absolutely GORGEOUS.
Imagine how nice this would look with a green toga-like dress and some other gold adornments.
I would buy it if I wasn't a poor teenager. Hehe
But it's very nice, lady.

Great way to use those stampings! I've got two of them clanking about the workshop, and you've given me some delicious ideas. Congrats on getting though all the tedious chainwork to finally finish it. It can get so frustrating, can't it?

It is really frustrating. I always just want the piece to be DONE. But I get so much more from making all my own. A sense of accomplishment.
I'm working on another chain piece now that's trying my ethics lol.

Ugh, I know the feeling. You feel like you're getting nowhere for hours, while the chain grows by fractions. The moment it's done, though, is so much more exciting because of it.

I don't like that you get so little accomplished in so long a time, but in the end I'm happier with it so it's all worth while.

this is a very beautiful piece; it is especially impressive that you hand made the chain. The components, as well as the main focal point, are perfect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks so much
The hand made chains aren't as.... clean cut and sharp as the manufactured ones, but I get SOO much more satisfaction and accomplishment making my own.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
how do you go about making them? *I'm a newbie at jewelry crafting*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I make my chains by first winding wire onto a metal rod. You can buy winding, or coiling kits, in most craft stores. Once the wire is wound you have basically a spring coil, which I cut with wire cutters one link at a time. Some chainmaille jewelers use a small saw to cut the coil right down the middle. I don't have access to those tools though.
Once you have a bunch of jump rings you can piece them together to make the chain. You can also purchase already cut jump rings in the craft stores, but it's cheaper to make them yourself in bulk. But to start out, until you have the tools to do it, there's nothing wrong with buying them in a bag.
