A few years ago I worked with a man whose son was into chain maille. (Doesn't that spelling make it more romantic sounding than chain mail?) I thought it was interesting, but never did anything about it. Recently, after seeing chain maille classes offered in a continuing education brochure, I started looking into it. I got some books out of the library and of course, started surfing the internet. Eventually I found a person on Etsy (Unkamen Gifts) who sells chain maille jewelry, supplies and kits and I took the plunge. I purchased a bracelet kit, a cross pendant kit, and a set of pliers that had been prepped for use in chain maille.
There's a lot to learn, so I decided to start a new blog and catalog my projects, particularly the jump ring sizes used, since they have a huge impact on the final result.
Of course, the cats think it is all TOO fascinating for words!
