Easy-Does-It Series Easy Chain Mail Featuring 6 Projects From the Introduction...... "Chain mail jewelry is hotter than ever, but the complicated-looking patterns intimidate many beginners. Never Fear! The step-by-step photos and easy-to-follow directions in Easy Chain Mail lead you through each pattern link-by-link, making it easy for anyone to learn this ancient art form. Chain mail artist Anne E. Mitchell's beautiful designs include traditional patterns and fun variations, from airy chains to dense meshes. Need your beads? Don't worry - we've included two projects, "Beyond Chain" (p.12) and "Foxtail Pearl Float" (p.16), that incorporate the color and sparkle of crystals and pearls. Chain mail requires only one technique: the ability to open and close jump rings. Once you can close your jump rings so that they form seamless circles - see hour Basics section (p.19) for guidelines - you can create any of the projects in this book. All you need is two pairs of pliers and a pile of loose jump rings, and you're on your way to creating beautiful, sophisticated jewelry. The hard part will be convincing people you made it yourself!"
