Advanced Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop: Weaving with Rings and Scale Maille
Chain maille patterns and weaves that take jewelry design into new frontiers!
Jewelry artists will enjoy a collection of new, less-common weaves and challenging projects that inspire and educate.
Author Karen Karon begins by reviewing basic chain maille weaves in order to set the stage for the more complex weaves in this book. She explains techniques needed when working beyond the methods for closing a weave, working with micro rings, working large scale, and using alternative materials in weaves. The book is then divided into 4 sections, each devoted to a particular type of new Persian weaves, Elf-based weaves, Hybrid weaves, and Scale Maille weaves that incorporate sheet metal scales into traditional weaves for a striking effect. Sprinkled throughout the illustrated step-by-step instructions for each weave technique are valuable tips from Karen to help ensure a beautiful finished piece.

Very inspiring! Finally a book that features patterns beyond the pure basics!
Great samples, good instructions and lots of inspiring new patterns. Love it! I’m a chain artist myself and was looking for something new - here it is.
