INTRODUCTION
o—_({}—__o

This book is written for those who are interested in making chain
‘maille jewelry, ae familiar with most of the classic weaves, and
‘are looking for new weaves that will help them to expand their
chain maille design palettes and perfect their skis with more
challenging linkage patterns. If you've never tried chain maille
‘before or are still a chain maille beginner, this book is NOT
you. Also, because this book is written from a jewelry-making

Perspective, if you're looking for tips on chain maille armor
Construction, this book is NOT for you.

For those who want to design with alternative materials, the
chapter on weaving with scales, a current hot trend in chain mille
‘and fashion, is sure to please. The weaves included in the book
are mostly modern weaves inspired by the classics and created
bby some very talented members ofthe chain maille community.
"have explored and experimented with these weaves, designing
some cool jewelry and accessories along the way. This exploration
has enabled me not only to write instructions for completing these

‘weaves, but also to help you master each one. As well I share some
Of the essentials I've learned, including jump ring siting options,

helpful hints tips, tricks, shortcuts, and pitfalls to avord.
