Gorgeous hairpin lace pattern scarf. The pattern can be found on Etsy and the wonderful 100% silk yarn I found at ColourMart, which was hardly a splurge at all considering the prices!
Here is a glimpse at my new obsession of the moment: chainmaille! Instead of buying another cool chainmaille choker online I decided it was high time I learned how to do it myself and so I have a plethora of websites for those interested:
http://cgmaille.com/ (Great instructions!)
http://theringlord.com/ (Awesome supplies!)
http://chainmaillebymboi.com/ (Be inspired!)
http://www.spiderchain.com/index.shtml (Supplies & books)
http://www.artofchainmail.com/patterns/ (Good basics)
http://www.chainmailbasket.com/index.php (Take your chainmaille to a new level!)
http://www.maileofthedreamseeker.com/instructions/ (More instructions)
There are tons more places online to look for more info, but if you're interested that will give you a great place to start. Look for more chainmaille from me in the future!
Now... On to the Halloween goodies. This first post has a ton of masques made for a Halloween Masquerade Ball. All were made from the blank masks you can find at any craft store, painted with Krylon spray paints and foam paint/glitter writers and decorated with fake gems, feathers and other odds and ends.
