[GeminiDolly52951]

Good video. I like the way you show close ups. Can you please put a link here to the Rebecca's Chain Maille site, please? I am not able to pull up any site.

Thank you!

all it is is a Japanese 2in8 chainmail pattern

[Aglaia1stGrace]

Actually it's European 2 in 8. Japanese 2 in 8 uses a different linking pattern (basically an interconnected chain). So far I've been sticking to European weaves for these tutorials, but I may delve into Japanese styles eventually.

Thanks!

hey u got this pattern from dylan whyte's book....you should credit it

[Aglaia1stGrace]

This is a traditional chainmaille weave that has been around for centuries. Dylan and I both are copying a pattern that was used by kings (hence the name) and the wealthy as a maille technique for their armor. Of course, they didn't wear it as a choker, and would have used much smaller rings so there weren't holes, but it's the same weave that they used.

[jujube68]

wait....so you know dylan whyte on a first name basis? thats very fortunate, it was him who inspired me in my ap studio art class with his books

[jujube68]

you should do a half persian 4-1 tutorial, the pattern i have most trouble with

[Aglaia1stGrace]

To adjust, just use smaller rings and make more rows - that will make it less chunky if that's what you're going for.

The rings in the video are silver plated. Sterling silver is heavy so for some designs it would be uncomfortable (for example, the dragonscale choker which will be a future tutorial).

honestly those are kinda ugly. but you make nice stuff. are those sterling silver rings?
