Starting new chain

I have started work on some new chain. It is intended to be a neckpiece (more a collar than a necklace) made of crescent-shaped links. It may be similar in appearance to chain maille but the large links will not be closed rings, so I hope it will look airier and be lighter to wear.

There are still some design details to work out. The size of link I am trialling is a bit small for my clumsy fingers to connect, especially in the top row. But that is a part of the design process that I really enjoy - finding a way to take an idea and turn it into a real, wearable item.
