The designer took her two favorite chain maille designs, rosette chain and parallel chain, and combined them with fun lampwork beads. She also played with ring sizes in this fresh design. She definitely found it more challenging to work with larger rings, but challenge is a good thing. This design can also be made without accent beads. This beginner/intermediate project includes step-by-step photographs.
Required Materials: Jump rings, wire, lampwork/accent beads. See project for complete list.
Tools Needed: Bent nose pliers, chain nose pliers, round nose pliers, wire cutters, tumbler. See project for complete list.
Techniques Used: Wirework
