Fandom Snowflake Challenge: Day 5

Day 5

Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or consume different fanworks. Give that new fandom a go. Listen to a podfic or watch some vids if you haven’t before.

I pick "working in a new medium"... which is a continuation of newness from 2012. To wit, doing fannish craft.
To make this a proper "something new", today I started a new project with a new craft. Chain maille. I'm not sure how the final product will turn out, but my starting point is to do two chains (in box-chain, because that seems to suit the rings I have); one chain is green and silver, the other is gold and copper. Yep. Slytherin and Gryffindor. It will probably take forever to do, so I may just do the chains and call it a day. We shall see.

Anyway, that is something new.

Fannish chain mail sounds like a very neat project! I hope you do not mind some questions about your new project from a curious onlooker. Are you planning to wear the finished chain as jewelery or do something else with them? Do you have to make your own links when doing something like this?

COOL! I think pictures are in order...

Will you be linking the chains at any point or is this particular pairing "unrequited"? :¬D
