chainmail armour sylvanian necklaces 🥰🥰🥰 the gasps and the oh ma gawwwwddds from browsers and the excitement when people come to find my stall when they hear the rumours… best feeling <3

This is one of my favourite pieces I've made using a basic 4-in-1 weave!

I've recreated this design many times over the years, and it's still one of the most popular pieces in my shop. I made another one this week as part of a custom order with matching earrings. :)

So I’m finally playing with colour and mixing metals! My aim is to make a rainbow flame top… I think I have the skills to make it but when it comes to planning out the pattern I’m a little stuck! I was going to use squared paper to draw the pattern out but not sure how best to approach that… I’m imagining something like a cross stitch pattern but for this mail project… any ideas? 😅 Thanks in advance 💜

Whats your opinion on this dangle? I used tiny rings to make a 2 in 2 chain then hung these larger rings with a bead from it. Super simple to make, but it feels lacking? Maybe the choice in beads?

Any advice on where I could start selling bigger pieces?

I’ve sold a few simple necklaces without gemstones on Vinted, but people aren’t really interested in the cool stuff.

I use stainless steel rings :)

How do you dress up your Helm chain to make it look like a more pricey weave? I feel mine always look more simple and plain than it actually is. TIA

What does this look like to y'all? Does the point get across? Any tips or advice? I'm kinda just running the head and it's rough.

Thank you

I posted about two weeks ago regarding my motivation block and, well, I'm happy to announce I finally created a small piece! Literally small – it's my first time doing Micro Mail.

​Thank you all for the upvotes and comments on my last post. They really filled up my tank and now I'm back on the road! 🤍

A ring in my box weave fell out of place causing the entire thing to split in half I’ve been sitting here for hours bro trying to figure out how to put it back together somehow nobody in the entire history of the planet has ever had to reconnect two box weave segments or thought to ask so at this point I’m cashapping whoever can provide concise directions that are easy to follow or point me to a guide that explains what I’m talking about. Thank you for your time

Idk if I'll post the completely finished ones since it might be a bit nsfw.

I was a really cool project to make!!!

Here's a 250 themed inlay I made!

I'm not new to chainmail, but I haven't picked up my pliers in months- maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time?

I also can't tell if this is really a Half Persian and I'm confusing myself at this point! I have tried HP3 and HP4

And are each pair of rings the same size or is one slightly smaller? I have mostly tried with 5/16" ID AR 6.8, though

I've been trying everything I can think of and nothing I do is even remotely panning out! I've reverse image searched, scoured youtube, I'm driving myself crazy!!!!

Can anyone offer guidance on these points (weave, ring size(s), how to start?)
