And a new dark process stainless steel top to wear!

Tried to fuse 2 techniques, the natural ''tissue'' effect of chainmail gives a more natural flow to the wings. Eu 4in1 and hp 3in1 What do you think, was it worth it ?

i have some incredibly cool elders in my family; they taught me to craft, sew and construct as a child and have been endlessly supportive in my creative endeavours.

the first one is for my aunt, who took me to experience 00’s taipei street fashion in the coolest neighbourhoods at the time. the second one for my mom, who is a minimalist and a lover of chunky handbags.

Don't put it on a shelf or throw it in a drawer.... get it wrapped in chainmaille and wear it instead

Thought the jester-style collar/cuffs would be a good first project for a beginner. I used YouTube + this https://www.mailleartisans.org/articles/articledisplay.php?key=280 to do it

I’m glad it looks neat, but not sure that an equilateral triangle makes sense for what I’m going for. How do I get that tapered look?

Hi everyone! I'm relatively new to chainmaille and I'm currently working on my first bigger piece, starting from a a standard European 4-in-1 weave. As you can see in the picture, at the bottom things got suddenly messed up. The ring positioning doesn't seem to line up correctly anymore, and it feels like the pattern "broke" or flipped. Can anyone tell by looking at the photo where I made the mistake and how I can fix it without undoing the whole piece? Any advice on how to get back on track would be greatly appreciated!

I'm almost done with my first pound of wire, and I thought I'd share a pic of my fiddlings

My hands hurt but it’s done! Inspired by some videos I saw of people creating their own versions of the Wretched Flowers lamps. I might add some beads to this, we’ll see. Thanks to this subreddit for helping me figure out the expanding round 4-in-1 pattern at the top

I was working on dragon back and I found out I can invert it. The result is more squishy and cylindrical than the oval dragon back pattern

Originally inspired by a knitting pattern, I had to adjust quite a bit on the fly. It’s 17 inches tall and 9.5 inches wide. It weighs 11.6 ounces (329 grams) and probably used about 5500 jump rings.

I am trying to figure out how to recreate a pattern for a piece for my partner. I am new to chainmail and have made a vest of 4 in 1 and am now trying someing harder. I saw thus picture posted a while ago and am trying to recreate the piece but the rows of the last seam are going opposite directions and I can't figure out how to connect it. Best ideal so far is to shift it one ring to correct the orientation but im afraid that would mess it up by the time I get towards a whole piece. Any ideas or tutorials on how to connect these without messing up the piece once I get more connecting?

It's gorgeous, and I'd love to make something like this, but have no idea and cannot make sense of this unit at all.

Some help would be great

Ich habe Chainmail entdeckt und würde mir gerne ein Armband machen. Ich habe dieses Armband in einem Onlineshop entdeckt. Es zeigt eine schlechte Qualität, also möchte ich es lieber selbst machen. Die Größenangaben sind total verwirrend wenn ich Ringe kaufen möchte. Ich bin Europäerin und verstehe viele Größen nicht. Kann mir jemand sagen welche Ringgrößen ich am besten bestellen kann? Bitte seid nett, es ist mein erstes Mal auf Reddit ❤️

Hello!

I just finished the big main piece for this top. Now I’m working on the rest (not the shoulder part just yet, because I’m not sure if I want to do that in that way)

I want to focus on making it actually wearable now. Could I have some advice on how to do the neck part (so that it also doesn’t fold…someone mentioned using smaller rings for the inside?) it also needs to be able to clasp. What type is best to use for that thick of a band?

Also for the back, I want to put the “ties” at/around the corners and have it clasp together back there too (or maybe not! Advice is welcome there too). Does anyone have a recommendation for what kind of weave would be best for this? Or what kind of way of connecting it? (Straight across, in an X shape, etc.

Thank you in advance!!

Progress so far.

A friend gave me this tumbled piece of opal and i decided to turn it into a pendant using rings..

Since its tumbled its not symetrical so i had to play around alot with spacing cause it kept slipping around in its cage..

the gauges are 20 18 and 16 i dunno the size of the rings xause i use bead smith ring making pliers with 6 sizes
