Unconventional chain mail jewelry rar

It is not often that I see a book I want to purchase because of a few posted designs. This is one that I am ordering for sure. Laura's jewelry designs are fresh and updated and not like most everything else I have seen.

Thanks, Pearl, for the review. Yes, her designs are not like most other people's. That's why combining techniques is so effective. Her designs are rich in detail and texture. Will be buying this one! My husband's best friend has a life long interest in fashioning historical chain mail out of thrift shop finds. I think he may buy it, too!

I love combining techniques, so I'll definitely be on the lookout for this book! Personally, I love bead embroidery and chain maille together. Thanks for the comment and feedback. You do make a difference on my blog! Ads Top. Combining two or more different jewelry making techniques is a sure fire way of coming up with novel designs.

It's a tactic used by many innovative artisans. One of them is Laura Poplin who applied her metal and leather skills in concert with her love of making chain mail jewelry. The result is some really lovely jewelry and a book! Thanks for the review Jen. Also, a quote "Chainmail vs Chain Mail vs Chain Maille The name comes from the French word maille, derived from the Latin macula, which means mesh of net. The most common spelling for the chain is chain mail, but sheets are still referred to as maille.

Many artists feel that the spelling chain maille or simply maille even though it is a modern name for it is truer to the origins of the art and helps distinguish it from chain mail letters. Some believe that since mail or maille literally means a sheet of chain adding chain to the word is redundant. All variations are basically accepted as a matter of common usage.

I agree with all the comments re the spelling transgression, but then being Canadian I am constantly being told that I've spelt things wrong, when the are actually correct! Kalmbach should have their knuckles rapped! THe picture on the front cover is very pretty… I wonder if it would actually hang properly?

I saw this book some time ago, and the spelling error also bothered me. Sad that there is increasing disregard for proper word usage.

Shame on you Kalmbach and the author! This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Learn how your comment data is processed.
