Valkyria bracelet
Valkyria is variant of ancient chainmaille weave. Chainmaille’s origin is from vikings, which gave me inspiration of this weave. Beautiful bracelet got it’s name from viking myths. According to Norse myths, the Valkyries were romanticized as Odin’s Shield-Maidens, virgins with golden hair and snowy arms. In this bracelet, gold filled beads are dancing in the chainmaille as Valkyrias in Norwegian legend of Valhalla.

About: Tish McDermott comes from a family heritage of people whose lives were rich in art, design, music, and crafting. Creativity was essential to life and unconventional ideas were the norm. Fashion was individualistic and non-conformist. Early on she became aware that commercial jewelry was not readily available to accessorize the fashion sense of a non-traditional woman and Just A Tish Designs were born. Tish's designs have been found in Bead Trends Magazine, show cased in the Farmville and Holly Springs, NC Arts Councils, and are available in stores across the country.See Authors Posts (4) on Oct.06, 2009, under Jewelry Making
