Embellished Chaos Earrings |
|
From medieval armor to modern adornment. What comes to mind when you hear the words “chain-maille”? King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table or a Hollywood starlet walking the red carpet? Scott David Plumlee’s new book Chain and Bead Jewelry Creative Connections shows crafters and jewelry makers how to use the medieval technique of chain-mail to create jewelry that is show-stopping and definitely modern.
To celebrate his new book, Scott David Plumlee is happy to share a beautiful project from Chain and Bead Jewelry Creative Connections. “Embellished Chaos Earrings”, as Scott calls them, adds color and visual weight to another beautiful design from the book, his “Chaos Earrings”.
