Genie Bottle Pendant

A chainmaille genie bottle to safe guard your dreams and answer your wishes!

Remember "I dream of Jeannie"?  What fun that was!  Quite a number of impressive icons came from that show, and the one stayed clearly in my memory is the genie bottle on the beach!  The curvy shape, the vivid colors, and the ancient patterns, yeah I'm talking about the bottle!!!

To re-create the iconic genie bottle in chainmaille takes a bit of imagination and lots of experimentation.  And once again, the ever versatile Whirlybird weave answered my call!

This genie bottle is not like any other genie bottle; its colors are vibrant and playful, its shape airy and modern; it hangs on the chain with a slight tilt, like a mischievous genie ready to take you along for some marvelous adventure!

The chainmaille Genie Bottle pendant is 2 inches long, made with bright and anodized aluminum jump rings and Swarovski crystals; the tassel is 1 1/2 inches long in stainless steel; and the bottle hangs on a 32-inch long stainless steel diamond-cut curb chain.

Tripoli Triangle Bracelet

Took me quite a while, but it's well worth it...........

Based on Scott David Plumlee's ingenious design of Tripoli Triangle, six of the Tripoli Triangle units are simply connected end to end.  I tried out a few other ways to link them up; in the end, I chose the easiest one; no muss, no fuss; nothing to distract attention from the intricate, lacy design of each little triangle.

The lovely bracelet shows off the unique combination of Byzantine and Mobius, the two ever popular chainmaille weaves.  With every movement of the wrist, each tiny jump ring of the Tripoli points reflects the light in all directions, giving a soft sparkle that's the trade mark of Byzantine weave.

Each of the six Tripoli Triangles is an equilateral triangle measuring 1 1/8 inches on each side.  The total length of the bracelet, including the handcrafted heart clasp in natural niobium, is 7 1/2 inches, with a thin profile at 3/16th of an inch.  All jump rings are bright aluminum for light weight and no maintenance required.

Tripoli Triangle

I must have been drugged.... for 2 days straight.... by this little triangle!!!

It's another shameless copy of Scott David Plumlee's masterful play on Byzantine weave.  From the first moment I saw it, I was hooked; yet it took me nearly a year to finally make a successful Tripoli Triangle.

No, it's not hard.  Anyone who's done Byzantine and Mobius can figure out how to make this.  But the devil is in the details.  Took me a while to find just the right size rings to create a sturdy yet still flexible chainmaille pendant.  Mind you, this is not a sculpture:-)

Before getting this one done just right, I went thru several iterations; I like some guess work with some math when it comes to chainamille...:-)  This one is my favorite so far; it has 2 ring sizes: 19 swg, BA, wrapped on 1/8" mandrel, actual AR about 3.35; large rings are 16 swg, BA also, wrapped on 7/32" mandrel.  Won't surprise me these are not the sizes that Master Plumlee used, but this combination works for me.  So I made another one, and another, one more, etc.  Now I'm tempted to try his Sequential Triangle bracelet......

This little triangle is totally addictive!

Fireman's Hold 4 Sheet

So this may not seem anything special, but it IS to me:-)

I can't remember the last time a mere 52-ring chainmaille patch took me over 5 hours to finish.  It's almost embarrassing to admit it...  But I would have continued on some more if it weren't for the damn tax returns...

The weave is Fireman's Hold 4 Sheet as documented in MAIL's weave library, consisting of 4 units of Fireman's Hold 4.

A single unit of Fireman's Hold 4 is not too bad.  But when I got to the 16th cell, it nearly bit my head off!  Yes, that's how tough it is!

But the end result is quite lovely:-)  Rigid enough to be a sculpture, it can be turned into a pin, a pendant, or a hair clip; but probably not a button... (I've been somewhat obsessed with chainmaille buttons lately:-)


6/11/2014 update:  I received an email from Sharon inquiring on this weave; so I thought it would be helpful to add some links to the original documented entries of this weave and a tutorial on MAIL library; these are where I learned how to make it; have fun!!

Fish a la Byzantine

A "Fish" in your hand.... :-)

Here's something whimsical to follow you everyday in your hand, your pocket, handbag, etc... Inspired by Scott D. Plumlee's designs, this fun little fish is outlined in chainmaille Byzantine weave, and connected to a moon shaped split ring. The fish is 2 1/4 inches long from lips to tail, 1 1/2 inches wide from fin to fin, and 3/8 inch thick, decorated with blue glass beads.

This cute fish fits perfectly in your palm, is not intrusive in your jean pocket, The metal used for the fish is bright aluminum, which is light weight and requires no maintenance. Another chainmaille example of form follows function! 

This key fob is available for purchase as custom orders on daisykreates.artfire.com.

Peppermint Candies

I've always had a fondness for Whirlybird. Not hard to tell, it's right on my avatar:-)  Its endless applications, or "Apps" for the i-generation, make it the Houdini of maille weaves! 

These cuties can pass by as peppermint candies, with rainbow colors! They are yummy enough you would want to take a bite out of them! My Peppermint Candies earrings are fun and cool to wear, just like the real candies:-)


The chainmaille pattern used here is Whirlybird, published by Noldolantë of Maille Artisans International League; it is an amazing combination of symmetry and whimsy. I selected anodized niobium and bright aluminum to create these earrings for maximum pinwheel effect! Wait till you hold them between your fingers; they have such a lovely tactile feel that they are almost bouncy:-)

Each Peppermint Candy measures 3/4 inch across, 7/16 inch thick, hangs about 7/8 inch long from the bottom of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring.
