This slowness is killing me

I only have two pictures to share with you today, because a problem (most likely with BT than with the internet as a whole) with slowness means that I am having serious trouble uploading pictures, to both Flickr and Etsy. Maybe later I will have the patience to try one at a time :P

Anyway, the two creations are a pair of earrings and a bracelet. The earrings were fairly simple to make, just me experimenting with chainmaille weaves for cascading earrings. The charm bracelet is one I made back in July whey I started out on this jewellery-making endeavour, but with my new-found skillz and pliers I have neatened it up a lot; now the charms are even lengths, have nice rounded ends, and will not fall off! Both are up on Etsy, but the earrings currently only have one picture attached.

I'm quite upset that I'm having difficulty uploading, because I have also done two rather complex designs. One, a choker in chainmaille, a weave called the Butterfly weave. It took hours and I'm really proud of it. The second piece is a necklace I'd been thinking about for a while, essentially a garden. Copper chain with purple flowers and green leaves, intertwined with green wire. The intertwining didn't work out too well, but I'm fairly pleased with what I did instead. I also added tendrils with Swarovski crystals, they complement the colours used perfectly. I am considering re-attaching all the flowers and leaves, but without a picture of it in its current state I can't get any feedback :\

Here's hoping Flickr will work later!
