Chainmaille!
I finally got a bunch of stuff cleared off my desk, and was able to open my lovely package from The Ring Lord!
It was extremely well packaged, so armed with a key a dug into my new treasure! I had ordered an assorted kit, as well as two sets of pliers. They weren’t much more expensive, even with shipping, to buy from them than to find my own, and I figured I’d have a better chance of getting what I need direct from them!
Yay ziplocks!
And as an added bonus my pliers have their logo on it. Neat!
I decided that the easiest thing to start with would be a 4-in-1. I found a great tutorial over at from CG Maille that really helped me get the hang of what I was doing… sort of.
My intention was to have the blue rings around the edge, with silver in the middle. Not sure how I ended up not doing that…
The necklace is a pattern from from Art of Chainmail.
I found a geek site that I thought you might like - http://www.hotforwords.com/ - this geek is SMOKING!
Addictive indeed! I’ve had to quickly move onto larger pieces or I’d be swimming in bracelets!
Interesting link skw! I was a little taken aback at first, but it’s actually got a lot of interesting content. And hey, sex sells.
yeah… I guess her stuff has been blowing up. I love it. I could watch russian bombshells in skimpy outfits explain to me the origin of words in the English language all day long… and afterwards (maybe) I’d be smarter.
