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? -- Barbara |

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? -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Barbara Forbes-Lyons" wrote in message ...

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. -- Starlia Klopman www.klopmanstudios.com "Barbara Forbes-Lyons" wrote in message ... http://urbanmaille.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=19 :-) "starlia" wrote in message ... waving hand!!!!
