New Connections in Chain Mail Jewelry with Rubber and Glass Rings

In this gorgeous book, Kat Wisniewski, a chain mail artist, teacher, and owner of Elemental Art Jewelry offers 25 unique projects, each using closed rings, glass and rubber with the chain mail to add color and texture. Jewelry makers can choose from a variety of bracelets, necklaces, earrings and pendants. All the projects are made using a new pattern (not the basic, traditional weaves). The jewelry is colorful, creative, and very wearable. Even advanced chain mailers will learn something new in this book: how to incorporate closed rings for beautiful results.
