Here is chain #2 of my ten chain challenge. Aluminum sheet metal and tubing.
I wanted to make a chain connected with rivets. Rivets are round, so I chose circles for the holes for tabs to pass through. I then tried to draw/saw the external shape of the link in such a way that would nicely contain the two circular elements.
To bring in some color, I tried some lime green anodized aluminum. I used this in the clasp (also adding a bit of strength), and added little circles as highlights around some of the tube rivets. The color held strong through the patina and the tumbling. 
The back of the chain.
I think my next chain will have some flowers...
