well to put it in perspective the amount of wire it took me to makle the shirt cost $40 so bracelets (depending on what kind of metal they are made out of and what weave) would only cost a few bucks to make. arm bands (im assuming you just mean really thick bracelets) wuoldn't cost that much more i should imagine.....if you looking to buy i would definetly be willing to work with you

Can tabs?!

when you're running short on wire you have no choice but to find a creative solution

lol thats cute. you did a lot of work in 2 months. i like the round discs on the shoulder, what did you use for those? i'd also like to see it modelled on someone, i dont think hauberks photograph well by themselves. ;) ::wanders off thru your gallery::
:iconkaiea:
thanx:) the discs on the should are just kinda a shoulder guard.....hopefully ill get a pic of someone wearing it (its hard taking a picture of yourself wearing something)

well what type of metal are the discs made of? did you cut them and drill the holes yourself?
:iconkaiea:
the discs are just made out of sheet metal (not sure if it's allumimnum or steel) and unfortunatly my dad wouldn't let me use his drill on them so i had to punch th eholes with a hammer and nail (i really wish i could have drilled them because now they have sharp edges were the nail was drien through)

Very nice! My brother in law makes chainmail as well. I'll have to see if he has any around now that I can snap a photo of. He's part of a new troupe that hit the Ren Faire circuit in Ohio for the first time this year. [link]
