janestarzThis first bracelet I made on Friday. I'd picked up extra rings (aluminium and rubber) at The Queen Ring that day, and I wanted to make something special for Palanthe's Omen character Fithe.
Fithe only wears white, and we were a bit stumped on how to combine colours for a bracelet. In the end I tried gold aluminium rings with white rubber, which was really nice. But I ran out of white rubber too soon, so I had to improvise. The yellow rubber was a nice match too.
This weave is a variation on a bracelet from Link it!
The best part of this Magic Bracelet is when the lights go off...
Of course it's the magic that makes it light up like this....
The glow-in-the-dark rubber is a little more brittle than regular rubber, so I used it vertically only. (The most strain is on the horizontal rings as you pull the bracelet over the hand.)
This was a more recent project; I've been wanting to do aluminium rainbows for a while. I took a very hasty picture last night, but I'll have to redo it (too blue, too many darks). It's a necklace in a wide box weave. It would probably have worked better in a different aspect ratio, but I like how chunky it is.
ETA: I'm still working on Project Elf Chain, and pictures will follow shortly!
