| This is actually a bit of a tale of sadness that brought this to life. Shortly after having finished the coif, I was laid off from my job. I fell into a pit of not wanting to do pretty much any chainmailling for a good 4 or so months. After a long while (and a gathering or two with other chainmaillers in Winnipeg), someone going by the name of "Sasandria" showed me a pile of different chainmaille samples. Seeing an awesome opportunity to practice new weaves, I lept at it with a mess of stainless steel rings. I separated all of the types of weaves into various "families" to ease in categorisation. Note: I take no credit for inventing these weaves (except Wilbert weave). I'm just making samples of them, which is unbelievably helpful when going to weave any of the uncommon ones. |
