and now, for my little project.

I've often been teased about my penchant for jewelry that makes lovely, jingly noises when I walk. Even before I started making my own jewelry, I used to love those little bell anklets. One of the great things about making your own jewelry is that you can take that idea and run with it (har har)

I started this piece with a variation on helm chain, using really really big (12mm) jump rings. I thought the chain looked rather empty, so I added some 9mm jump rings in between and I LOVED the result. I'm definitely using this little variation again. Here's a closeup:

This anklet sits really low on the ankle, and the coins sort of spread around the upper part of the foot. It's SO MUCH fun to wear!! And it makes those wonderful jingly sounds when I walk too!!!!

June's Blog Hop - Foot Bling!!!

Ah, summer is here at last. The time for short shorts, strappy sandals, and PEDICURES!!! There's something so freeing about "scraping the winter off of my feet" as my eloquent cousin once phrased it.

So in honor of summer, bare strappy sandals, and all the other wonderful things that go along with it, June's blog hop is centered on Foot Bling!!! Foot bling entails almost any jewelry you can wear on your feet, so break out your beads and make me some toe rings, anklets, foot thongs, barefoot sandals, beaded footwear - whatever you've got. I can't wait to see all of them, so put your best foot bling forward!!

I'm going to let the signups run for a really long time this month - so signups are from now until June 25, 2011. The blog post itself will be Thursday, June 30th. On June 29th, I'll publish a blog post with the list of participants, so don't worry if you don't get an email ahead of time!

To enter, simply comment on this post, and don't forget to paste a link to your blog! Even if you've joined before, it makes putting the linky list together a WHOLE lot easier if I don't have to go hunting.
