I had a vision, of having little wire wrapped clasps for my folk costume projects. As soon as I got home I made some.

These are called maljor in Swedish, and they’re used to lace upp bodices in the folk costume world. I don’t know that wire wrapping is common, mostly it’s pewter or silver casts. But we do have a folkloric tradition of wire work, called luffarslöjd - hobo crafting. With how many different folklore versions that have existed I can’t think this is the strangest there’s ever been. Hell, I even saw someone doing beer can tabs as maljor last week. Creativity, baby!

Time for a new #introduction as I have moved servers 😀

My bio boils it down nicely, but long term bean counter still considering a move into technical writing, and finally being able to get back to my many, many interests and connect with similar minded folk:

The first stage of my CPC ZERO build - a hypothetical 6502 based Amstrad CPC taking inspiration from the prototype 6502 board and the final Z80 based CPC464.

I'm using period appropriate hardware, wire wrapping the build, and solving design challenges the way they had to in the eighties.

In this zero-th part I state my design goals, choose a build method and build out the CPU and ROM.

My crafts of choice are... a very long list. I'm currently on a #knitting and #crochet streak, but my #crafts include #Chainmaille, #Kumihimo, #Beading, #WireWrapping, #Macrame, #FluidArt, and a bunch of other crafts that I've dabbled in over the years. Tatting defeated me, and I do not enjoy sewing, though I can do it if I have to.

Why am I joining the #FinishOrFrogAlong ? Why not? I ALWAYS have something that needs finishing, and having company along the way will be delightful.

Just brushed up on my wire-wrapping skills 🌸 Tomorrow we are having a hobby day at the school and I'm responsible for the crafting. There will be macrame bracelets, crochet, knitting, paracord and jewelry-making. It's been a while since I've done wire-wrapping so I was glad to discover that I have retained muscle memory of how to do it 😄

sweetheart wire-wrapped bead pendant necklace set: #JimJimenez and #OluwandeBoodhari aka #tealoranges from #OurFlagMeansDeath

A set of two #handmade #necklaces celebrating the relationship between Jim Jimenez and Oluwande Boodhari from Our Flag Means Death. One pendant—Jim—has teal wire and dangling #beads arranged like an orange. The other earring—Oluwande—has peach wire and a teal dangling heart focal point. Both #pendants feature a wire-wrapped circle with wooden bead accents attached to an antiqued golden jump ring. The pendants hang from wire-wrapped bails on braided cotton twine cords, finished with copper chain and a lobster clasp. The necklaces are both adjustable up to 2 inches.

These necklaces would make a lovely #gift for yourself and someone special in your life, or you can keep both to wear based on your mood and aesthetic for the day.

This is a #oneofakind set. It celebrates relationships that grow stronger with time, sharing secrets together, and letting your loved ones in.

Please handle these pendants with care. The wire-wrapped circles have been reinforced but may still bend under pressure.
