Chain Mail From Canadian Tire

Can you guess what this is? I know it's not everyone's style so no need to state the obvious.
But, it is functional.
And, most likely, long-lasting.
I made it.
It almost made the guy at Canadian Tire go postal on me.
Actually, he was a real good sport even
after I explained to him what his assignment was.
I had him cut 55 linear feet of chain into 33" lengths which came out to 20 pieces.
Each length required 2 cuts on his machine.
We worked together... like... on a... chain gang.
(Sorry)
A real life situation that required 'higher math'.
Yay, math!
(PonyG enjoying the noise it makes.)

is it the answer to "gee I love beaded curtains but their not really my style...." If so, I'd LOVE one!! I used to have a giant chain just hanging from my ceiling for decor, I loved it. But somehow lost it in my many moves over the years. Ah well.
Cheers to you!

I bet it feels great when you have to get something out of the cupboard. I love smooth metal, blown glass, and polished stone... There is just something so satisfying when you enjoy tactile therapy. I think it looks great and it's good to know that you are moving in the right direction. Metal, metal, enduring metal!! I was going to buy you house warming light switches of diamondized steel but don't know if you have flips or clicks.... :)

Love you "heavy metal" style

So Ho Jo Jo

Thank you both for appreciating the lovely-ness of metal. It is way more 'edgy' than the standard beaded curtain which leads us to imagine all sorts of applications...si?
