Chain Maille - woohoo!

I sat my bad self down last night with a puddle of sterling jump rings and
some instructions and taught myself byzantine weave last night. I kicked out
about 3 inches of it in about an hour, once I 'got it'. I was pretty proud
of myself and can't wait to finish the chain and make more!

I've already learned flower chain and have plans to learn a couple of the
Japanese weaves, too.

Who else, other than Lynda, has played around with maille?

waving hand!!!! I've played with chain mail and I have been making my own
links by hand. I have even been twisting wire and making links from that.
Pretty fun and cool. I would love to hear more about a flower chain. What
is that?

Cool you enabler you. Looks like I've done this one. I just didn't know
what it was called. I'll have to take some photos of my recently finished
works in silver and in copper.

Very cook, Barbara! I have a Byz bracelet that my sister made me. She got
into maille about a year ago and has done some neat things!
