Mundane tangle of chain by homeschoolmom

Mundane tangle of chain

The result of two moves in two years, my jewelry box is a tangled mess. After about an hour of sorting and untangling the bigger beaded necklaces, this is what I was left with: a mess of tangled chain. So, anyone want to guess how many chains are in this mess? I came back after dinner and untangled them and put them away properly. Took me about another hour. I hadn't meant to do this today, especially since we are moving again in 3 months, but when I went to get a chain to photograph for this challenge, I could't even get one out. So, here's my picture for the Mundane Chain Challenge.
Ooh, that drives me crazy when that happens! Good persistence to unravel all those chains. It is a lovely golden mess you have captured.

I know the feelings you had sorting out the tangle and the frustration of those still left. Great image.

@teodw @ceilidh Thanks! I also weeded out some old jewelry that I haven't worn for years in hope of preventing this from happening in our next move!

Such a jumble, well done for sorting them out; wrap them in tissue paper so you don't have to do it again when you move:0)

@claireuk The movers just packed some paper in the box, twice, so they just became a tangled mess.

A very cool capture - you have great patience for getting those untangled!
March 16th, 2014  
Excellent! I am so glad that it isn't just my wife who has this problem!
March 16th, 2014  
Lovely shot.
March 17th, 2014  
LOL, I chuckle only because my Wife went through that too. I do not have the patience for that

Had a good laugh in thinking about how wanting to take a photo led to massive work to untangle chains! And you ended up with a very fun shot for the challenge.

Whoa! If you took at least an hour to untangle them, you had quite a clump there! I take that long just to untangle 3 when some of mine get mixed up in my jewelry box! But in the end your effort was rewarded (btw put them separately into envelopes and lightly seal them when you move this time!) with a great shot for the challenge!
