Caoimhe

I made some chains

I was intending on having some friends over the other day for a small party and give them each a small Christmas present but I ended up being too ill to host. I had one present that I was going to give to Caoimhe³ early too (the rest to be saved for Christmas Day), selected mostly as an excuse to show off in front of other people because it’s the one thing I made for them myself: A pair of belt and boot chains in the nonbinary flag colours.

Two sets of chains in gold, silver, purple, and black. A shorter set hanging from a pair of Doc. Martens and a longer one on its own.

I was inspired by these chains from Renders Renderings and seeing as they were all out of stock I decided to fashion my own. I made mine with thinner chains and I am a little worried that they might be too delicate but I had trouble sourcing small lengths of coloured chains in larger sizes and thought it would look better to get ones that came the in right colour rather than trying to spraypaint them. If they end up breaking I still have some more chain so I might try and fashion something that is less likely to be caught on things or be subjected to force.

Caoimhe came over the day that party was meant to happen anyway to look after me a little and I gave them to her then and she seems very pleased with them. I love my nonbinary girlfriend :)
