Why thank you! I really do want to make another and be able to use the accents like these but make a better top....if that makes sense! If I ever venture to the east side of the state I'd love to pick your brain. Hoop skirts are something I always loved let alone seeing the possibilities for chainmaille ones! It's quite the compliment your comment is with your skills

Haha! I do know the VERY basics of chainmail but it's so tedious and I'd have no idea on the pattern xDΒ
Out of curiosity, how much is this one? I doubt I can afford it but its worth asking!

What abt a lower section piece you make one of those yet?

Wow, that it's amazing... But I can't help to ask out of curiosity, is it heavy to wear?

It's heavy in comparison to fabric. It's not that heavy though. I wish I had a scale :/

That's the one kind of use for chain link I hadn't seen yet. I never would have thought.

Echo! Β Remarkable work! Β Delightful model, too. Β Bet it's hard to get through airport security, though! Β Well worth a *ahem* thorough search!
Do you craft your own rings? Β I've read about a technique where you coil wire stock around a dowel, then cut along one side to render several dozen open rings at a time. Β Never tried it though. Β Do you simply close the rings with a butt joint, or seal them closed somehow? Β Just curious.

I had to go through a metal detector once for a tattoo convention out in California. Needless to say they were a little confused when I said I couldn't take off the metal. I had a tank on over for a little while so I had to go through that once surprisingly!
And I do the dowel method and handcut my rings. I need a dremel to do it faster but instead if just cutting dozens by hand, I do hundreds to thousands. And I close them in tight with pliers. I keep it simple. The way my side cutters complete the cut leave the ring with an angle cut instead of a totally flat one saw cuts provide, so they overlap and close in tighter and stay snug so it doesn't burr As much and the rings don't scratch

Thank you! It kills me to see people rush their works. I put alot in my works because I want the full potential of a project and be able to see the areas that I need to improve upon

Nice. Β If you ever make armor you might want to rotate the lines 90 degrees. Β Is this lined or unlined?
π: 0 β©: 1
It has one line going from center cup to tip of the cup . It doesn't cut always through the piece

Time and practice. I know it's repetitive when people tell you those kind of things but I still have alot to learn. Once you get tired of learning, then you halt on creative thinking
