Handmade Monday Flowers and more flowers

Perhaps it's something to do with the lovely sunny weather? Some of you might know I often demonstrate a bit of obsessiveness in my crafting life. At the moment, and for about eight months now, it's been chain maille that I've turned to in every spare moment, and for the last few weeks, since discovering the inspirational work of Scott David Plumlee, I've been making chain maille  flowers like there is no tomorrow. Some of them are quite dainty like these Celtic flowers:





Some are more robust like these Byzantine flowers:



And then there are real whoppers like these 11 bead flowers. When you put them together in a bracelet, they are a real statement! 



Some might prefer just one in a watch-style bracelet:


I'd love to know iwhich you like best?

Here's a link to find out what others have been crafting this week http://handmadeharbour.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/handmade-monday-179.html

Hope you're enjoying this lovely summer,
Alison

  1. Those are all lovely! I think the 11 bead flowers would make great pendants too. Just one dangled from a chain for a more simple look, or a few attached to a chain for a statement piece!

  2. They are amazing, difficult to choose a favourite, but I think it would be the byzantine flowers.

  4. As I scrolled down I kept thinking I can't pick a favourite and then you asked us to. As far as I'm concerned they are all beautiful. Lovely colours and great designs.
