Chain Mail!!

Okay, odd title I know. Chain mail, that's for knights in armour and whatnot right?
Not always!!
I've been looking at chainmail jewellry for a while but it was all getting the right size rings and whatnot and very confusing. So when I saw this (click for link) late one night whilst mooching about the net I ordered it on a whim.
And now I'm hooked!! They're great fun to do and it turned out pretty much exactly as you see it there. This is my version (excuse crap photo here...)
So I'm very impressed atm. It looks lovely and Mr C didn't realise at first it was something I'd made. He even got that 'OMG, HOW much did you spend today?' look in his eye. Then I told him.
Now he wants one in copper :D He wears a copper bracelet because of his hands (too many years using powertools at work) but he doesn't like the designs as they can be too fuddy-duddy for him. But he really likes some of the weaves for these so I'm doing him a byzantine like this silver one here with an eye to another weave, Jens Pinds Linkage, when I have more practise.
