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!"
