Mmm...If it were more red in color but still gold, I'd say phoenix egg. Really pretty :>

I like it and if I had money I'd buy one.
Very good.

Looks good enough to eat

What's with you and eaten mah arts? I should make onion ring maille for you to eat

It's a goat thing Oooh onion ring ring maille *drool*

very impressive i like.

*quirks eyebrow* dude, what are you doing with my old baby nest in your house? *smirks then nudges with elbow* just kidding. awesome work. I love it.

yay goldstone
who would have thought copper and glass could look so sweet together
and of course the nest is nice

I would say it would look cool if you could find black or blue goldstone. that would offset the metals quite nicely.

regular goldstone is still cool tho!

Hehe yeah I prefer blue goldstone myself. However this was just a "Oh hey that's neat looking *snaps picture*" kind of thing. Honestly the thing was a WIP that I just stoped half way through and made a mental note to maybe make more on purpose.

Its still a cool wip shot.

I still have yet to sit down and figure out how some of the weaves work, cause some of the internet illustraitons on how to make them really suck

They never bother me any because I end up learning them the hard way anyway. They give a general idea and I just play with them untill they work. Honestly the best way to learn a weave is to hold a chunk of it in your hand and think to yourself. "How does this work" and study its properties. Then try to mimic it.

the one that still gets me tho, is full persian

Really? Full persian is easy and is one of my specialties. Funny enough the half persians are way harder. The trick to FP 6-1 is getting it started is kind of a pain untill you figure it out but then it is smooth sailing from then on out. I have experimented with the persian family a lot and know several cousins to FP 6-1....like right now I am baffled by the sudden obssesion in the chainmaille community with Sweet Pee...I made that crap on accident while figuring out ways of splicing lengths of full persian together and I did not think anything of it....go figure someone started making tutorials for it and now EVERYONE is making the stuff.

But anyway maybe I can help you with that.

I havent played with my rings in a while....I think Ive been too enamoured with quilting and knitting lately. I think once I get back on track with work (we had a 2 week hold after xmas and then i got hit by this damn cold), and save up some cash so i can order some anodized aluminum...I think i will message you for some assistance.

Yeah sure just sent me a message and I will see if I can help you out. If nothing else I can show you close up pics of the weave while I am weaving it or something.

Word of warning on the anodised if you have never worked with it before. Pliers scratch the hell out of it if you don't grip it JUST right...or use special tools.

Ya so i've heard. Im going to see what I can do about picking up some coated flat jewellers pliers
