Atramagus Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) So, I've been out of the forums for a while. Getting married, honeymoon, starting a Master's degree while working full time and other such things kind of hinder a lot of free time hehe. But one of the things I've been working on is my making chainmaille jewelry. One of the people I've made a piece for liked it enough to take a picture with it and sent it to me, so I thought I'd share with a group who can appreciate artsy things. I'll get to armor eventually, but for now this is a lot of fun! Let me know what you think. Oh, and some painted minis will show up in show off when I get a chance to take a few pictures - and possibly a new camera. The old one didn't quite survive the trip to Europe C.c Edited October 2, 2013 by Atramagus 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atramagus Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Nice work. Now go build me an 8 in 1 hauberk. For free. Right meow. Did you use silver wire for this? Thanks! And no, just bright aluminum. Works well, looks great, and is very inexpensive. If I used silver, I'd have to charge quite a bit for something like that C.c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slendertroll Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Beautiful work! My cousin does a lot of chainmail stuff for his SCA; he gave me a cool dice bag last Christmas. His stuff is largely functional though, I think, and not so pretty as yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atramagus Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks all! Beautiful work! My cousin does a lot of chainmail stuff for his SCA; he gave me a cool dice bag last Christmas. His stuff is largely functional though, I think, and not so pretty as yours. I've done a couple of Legend of Zelda themed bags, which were fun (green with golden tri-force), but people liked them and keep buying them from me. Can't say no, it's mine when it's not too hard to make another hehe. I do need to order more rings soon. very cool,but isn't chainmaille riveted? Chainmaille can be riveted or butted. I do butted for jewelry, since most people like that look rather than the riveted look when using it for fashion. When I start doing armor I may or may not try riveted... it's a lot of work for something that you don't actually have to count on to save your life! I really need to get back to work learning how to link scales together.. I have all these anodized scales sitting at home needing a purpose.. Ooo... definitely share if you do something with them. I've been debating trying scale, but I'm still having fun with general rings at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
