I've finished a couple of maille commissions recently.
This one's a long-legged brayette, all riveted, made from 7mm links. It is designed to extend just below the knee, and so includes a lozenge-shaped gore near the end of each leg.
And here, another standard. Mixed solid/riveted with a 9mm dagged mantle and 6mm collar. The liner is five layers of linen.
Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my progress, and both of these clients seem pretty happy with their commissions!

Trying out chainmaille making! (Weaving? Unsure what verb is correct.)
Playing with these steel butted rings before I track down riveted links.

I started making maille objects after an accident in 2010, my hand was really messed up I had pins in my fingers and was in a cast for awhile and I used this to strengthen my grip. I had put it down for more years than I want to admit to.... I am really out of practice and honestly the tremors in both of my hands are a problem when trying to line up the rings and grasp them with the pliers... It was also easier for me to see the patterns then... but I pulled out all my rings, scales and pliers last night and after many attempts and frustrations over a few hours I made this... yes I now see there is a mistake in the middle but it is all good... I want to use this all up and not have it taunting me from the closet any more.... baby steps.
