New In The Studio: Sheet Maille Weave

Hello,

Today I would like share a little about a new weave that will be available shortly in the shop.

Originally called GSG or Great Southern Gathering created by "buddha", the name has been changed to Half Persian 3 Sheet 6 in 1, a variant of the Half Persian 3-in-1 Chain.  More information is available on M.A.I.L. by clicking the link.

This weave is not difficult, but like many, there are those that give me trouble from time to time, this was one.  I enjoy making short lengths of a weave in different ring sizes for comparison and design ideas.  Shown below are samples of what I have been learning.   


(Clockwise) Shown here in "swatches" of anodized aluminum  (purple, green and gold), bright aluminum and jewelers brass, and stainless steel rings.  
(Your monitor may vary color)

This weave would make a great bracelet, necklace or perhaps a decorative piece of art.

In hope of having items crafted and listed soon.

We take requests.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Five Great Gifts To Give: Halloween 2016

Good Morning,

One of my very favorite holidays is right around the corner, Halloween.   Today's selection of items comes from five unique shop on The CraftStar.


From: Warmth

Halloween Felt Mouse-CandyCorn Maker-Orange Black Ornament Decoration

Candace is so crazy about Candy Corn that after I fashion her tiny face she begs me to dress her entirely in Candy Corn Fabric! I add her ears and a black bow with a pearl. I make very sure that I add the tiny red felt heart on her right foot that signifies that she is a Heartfelt Mouse?1981. Then I give her a nice long tail. You would think that Candace would have to see her dentist a LOT. But no....perfect little teeth. She holds a teenie tiny plate with three, count them THREE hand molded Candy Corns. A mother can only do so much. She gets straight A's, always does her chores, is the first one dressed for church on Sunday...but she is addicted to Candy Corn. Candace will come to you in her specially sized crush-proof box.
