Last for the night:

I called this "Project Chandelier". It consisted of two hoops, linked by maille. From it, I hung several 3", 5", and 7" maille dreamcatchers. In the center, the crowning achievement: the 357: a 3" dreamcatcher inside of a 5" dreamcatcher inside of a 7" dreamcatcher, one on each axis. I was very, very proud of this.

Sadly, parts of it were cannibalized as gifts to others over the years...and recently, it suffered damage from a windstorm when it fell.

More art! I bought a blue bottle with the base cut off at the Allentown Art Festival. I wrapped it in chain maille and hung a light from the inside.

If you use a small light (like an electric tealight), everything glows blue! But if you use a STRONG light, the shadow of the maille can be seen on the walls as it spins!

I was showing a friend pictures of some of my artwork, and I was really proud of it. I think I'll post a pic or two here to show off a bit.

This is the backgammon board I made for my mother around 2015. Since it's flexible, the board rolls up around the pieces (which are also chain maille) and the dice (which are dice rings!)

The board is 11,800 rings, the pieces another 4,000.
