I Think I Can, I Think I Can…

When most people think of chain mail (or maille), they think of medieval knights and armor. I did too. Then I started going to Renaissance Fairs and saw that maille can be so much more than just armor.

I saw earrings, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, chokers…Looking at galleries and forums on-line I’ve seen hockey jerseys, window treatments, ties, and belts. The more money I spent on some of these fabulous wares the more I wondered if I could do this myself.

I have learned that I can do some of this myself. I really like doing it and the more I do it the more my creative juices flow. The more my creative juices flow, the more of a problem this presents for my wallet. Once I have enough stuff made, I’ll have to figure out where and how to sell my wares.

Here I will be detailing my attempts at new weaves and my attempts to break even on my hobby. If I go the on-line route, I’ll be shouting to the high heavens so feel free to drop by and exchange cash for a pretty shiny.
