Part 3 - official

Hey part 3 is here now.
Leather and chain necklace
This leather and chain necklace is really simple to make as it is basically a leather thong 2.5 times longer than the chain that is woven through the chain and tied off at the ends to make a loop on one end and the other is to a coin with a hole in it, this makes a very nice clasp. Difficulty 2/10

Triangular earring

 I cant even remember what prompted me to make earrings but here they are and more are coming. This triangular earring is reminiscent of the modular forms you see in modern day architecture and furniture. Difficulty 3/10

Japanese 12-1 flower earring
 Basically the Japanese 12-1 arrangement to make the flower not at all difficult. 2/10
Woven twisted bracelet
 This bracelet was made by creating three chains joining all three then plaiting them together joining them again every other plait so that the shape would remain as you see it. The clasp was also made by myself and is quite easy. Difficulty 4/10

Here you can see the different colour I used for the chains.

Thanks be back soon with the last part, part 4 and then I will be going onto my blacksmithing experience and then onto some patterns and what I think of them!
