chain reaction

I was feeling a little creative this week, and so I ventured into Michaels in search of something to play around with. These little treasures ended up following me home:

A few lengths of chain (reasonably priced at about $2 a pop!)

Jump rings and lobster claws

Some adorable bow charms

I was originally planning to bling out a black t-shirt dress with loads of chains. For a second I forgot about the laws of physics and started piling them on... when eventually I realized that t-shirt + heavy chains = sagging (damn you, gravity!). I was pretty horrified by the results, to say the least. Back to square one?

Thankfully, one thing led to another and I ended up with this happy accident. Hurray for DIY jewellery!
