More Maille – Half-Persian 3 in 1
January 13, 2007
Had a bit of a rough day today. I needed something to take my mind off a personal issue, so I decided tackling the Half-Persian 3 in 1 was the ticket. First, I made up about 250 rings in 4mm size using the Jump Ringer from Contenti.
After tumbling the rings (to remove oil and burrs), I attacked the weave. This one has alluded me for some time, but I tried the tutorial from Danrek that was suggested by Mary Lou, a Beading Help Web reader.
Bingo. Danrek is a chainmaille Hero, IMO.
It takes some time to complete, but once you get the weave down, you’re golden. I finished up this bracelet chain (I used the Circle of Life pendant I made earlier this week as a potenial focal point and clasp, but it’s really not working the way I want it to) and I LOVE the way it looks and feels. Once I get a clasp I’m happy with, this baby goes in the tumbler for final shining and polishing, and then on my wrist.
