The Nine Walkers

[kerravonsen]

The theme for this quarter's M.A.I.L. contest was "Storytelling", which I would not have entered (as per my New Year's Resolution) if I hadn't already had an idea for a "storytelling" necklace which I'd intended to make out of wirework, but realized it would actually work better as maille. So it was just an opportunity to do something I already wanted to do, so it doesn't count in the "no voluntary deadlines" thing. Particularly since I kept on telling myself that if I didn't finish it, so what? But I did finish it, and today I photographed it, and posted my entry to the forum.

The Nine Walkers


Rather than repeat myself, here's a link to my entry post. Hopefully that explains the design...

Of course, I'm now at the stage where I hate it and think it is awful, but I entered it anyway.

I think it's gorgeous, the colours are just soooo my thing...

Thank you!
The dark, rich colours are from enamelled copper rings; lovely colours, but a pain to work with, because they scratch so easily.

Lovely colours and so unusual; very striking!

I, for one, like it a lot! It's very unique.

THAT IS SO COOL.

I got that it was a "timeline" just by looking at the photos, and then some of it was easy to grok once I read that it was the Fellowship. And it has meaning and is pretty! Nicely done!
