Loop in Loop Sailor Chain Set





This is a set that will be up for sale at the Shop People Gallery in Portland. Each loop of chain is hand made--fused, folded, pinched, and connected to the next link--it's a time consuming process but worth all the work! When you're first learning, you melt a lot of your loops--so it takes some practice. It's a very ancient process--you can find examples of this loop in loop work in museums and art history books. I like to think that some of my stuff might last that long:)
