I have been experimenting today with making chains out of a variety of materials.
Some were formed from ripped fabric and finger crocheted, some were made out of wool and crocheted with a hook, and others were knitted in a loose manner.
The textured background is building up nicely.
Expect a bunch of industrial, rusty bits and pieces. I was so excited when I discovered them hidden next to the Maritime Museum. As I've confessed before, I love rusty objects.
You can tell why this is turned away from the road.
Location: footsteps from CA 138/18, around 11 miles northwest of Phelan, CA and 5 miles east of Llano, CA.
Here's a shot of the cam chain finally threaded under the main drive gear within the lower end. It took threading two guitar strings through the ends of each side of the cam chain, then creating a loop on on end, bending it around, then feeding it deep underneath and grabbing it on the other end with a hooked tool.
Of course, the cam chain roller (in between the two pistons). Removed by two 10mm bolts.
This entire process was very tricky in the sense that it took four synchronized hands all working together in unison to handle start to finish.
The Széchenyi Chain Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the River Danube between Buda and Pest, the western and eastern sides of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. Designed by the English Engineer William Tierney Clark, it was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Hungary, and was opened in 1849.
It is anchored on the Pest side of the river to Széchenyi (formerly Roosevelt) Square, adjacent to the Gresham Palace and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and on the Buda side to Adam Clark Square, near the Zero Kilometre Stone and the lower end of the Castle Hill Funicular, leading to Buda Castle.

I love the textures on the old chains that are found scattered around the harbours.
I have been playing with DoF this holiday and tried to pay attention to detail and texture.

Out on a bright contrasty day isn't a good idea for landscapes so tried to find something a little different to photograph.

Got to meet Alice in Chains at their recent show. Got a poster and my favorite t-shirt signed and got to take a photo with them. Kickass!
Wrapped bead chains made using my handmade polymer clay beads and coloured craft wire (enamel coated copper).
CHAINS
Safely bound, they lock us in
Warding danger from within
Chains that hold us from our youth
We try to fight but there's no use.
We're shackled, tethered, held, restrained
Fighting rules, we feel the pain
Rebellion rises from the ranks
Who fight the cause for little thanks
You're owned from warmth within the womb
To woodworm casket, death and gloom
What's in between you try to fight
Your life is mapped as day and night
Pay your taxes, go to work
Have your kids and never shirk
Two week trip is your vacation
Automaton, stagnant nation
Don't ask questions, not your place
Walk the walk and live with grace
Be grateful for the scraps they throw
Your place tomorrow no one knows
Chains they bind you by the hands
The feet and throat, the happy glands
You're just a number, just a fool
Another in this bland gene pool
Manacled and bound by fear
You live the life and shed the tears
Subservient in every way
Pretend you're not if lies you play
A life of chains is what we're given
By sex and love and hope we're driven
Onwards to the promised land
The doors are closed and you've been banned
Your name's not on the gold guest list
No angels touch no special kiss
Life for you is full of pain
As you begin to feel those chains
But rest assured and sleep at night
You're not alone in this lost fight
Society owns your very soul
live long, have fun, make those your goals

In July, when they bloomed against a North Carolina US blue sky, I keep going back -- just to remind myself that leafless trees - only a few flowers - no bees or butterflies --- that will change ! But, first Autumn/Winter then into glorious Spring !
