Santa brought me a jump ringer!

December 28, 2006

I was jumping for joy on Christmas morning when I found a new jump ringer from Contenti under the tree! I started putting it together immediately, then hooked up my flex shaft saw and started making and cutting jump rings.

In less time that it took to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, I had rings, glorious rings! Perfectly cut, beautiful clean edges…as many as I could wind wire for, I now have bags of!

Now on to learning new chainmaille techniques. I sort of made up something while just playing around (this hasn’t hit the tumbler yet, so it may have a couple of rough edges!). Simple 2 in 2 weave with a larger ring woven into the vertical rings.

More chainmaille fun in 2007, I promise!!!
