Bestselling author and chain mail expert Dylon Whyte presents his time-tested, time-saving techniques with over 30 breathtaking projects, ranging from the simple to the challenging. A thorough introduction, illustrated with computer-generated pictures, covers the basics of chain mail techniques. Then Whyte reveals his patented, perfected beading method: rather than using difficult wire-wrapping, he threads the beads directly onto the rings before they're fashioned into chain mail. This exciting collection of 30 projects includes a delicate Persian patterned anklet, embellished with tiny silver bells; an amethyst opera-length necklace; and silver earrings shaped like inverted peacock features, edged with rings and turquoise beads.
