I've wanted to make chainmaille since I was 10 years old and had gone to my first renfaire. When we got to the fair grounds I wandered and took in all of the sights like everyone else. But then I got to the chainmaille booth....and didnt leave. I stood and sat there for at least three hours watching him work and weave all of those rings together. Screw the snacks and treats, couldnt care less about the pony ride. I wanted to do what HE was doing. And when my mom made us leave I knew that I was going to grow up and do that. I was going to make chainmaille just like that man at that booth. And now I can make jewelry and art pieces for everyone to enjoy.
When I first started getting everything together back in February, like everyone else i started out small. Bracelets, earrings and such. Just to get the hang of getting the different styles together. And while I really do like making the larger pieces, such as the armor hoods and shirts, I've found that i like making the wind chime that designed the most. The armor pieces are still a very close second though.
When Im not at an Event of some sort, I'll be focusing on creating other art pieces. Ones that can be displayed or used in ones home or place of work.
Im also a big table top geek. So there will be many game and comic themed pieces made and posted on here on my shop in the future.
