desertcart.com: Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop: Techniques and Projects for Weaving with Wire: 9781596686458: Karon, Karen: Arts, Crafts & Sewing

Review: Encyclodpedia of chain maille weaves - Honestly, that would be Phong's but finally, here's a chain maille book devoted primarily to skills building instead of projects highlighting variations on a handful of techniques. My first book on chain maille was the classic "Great Wire Jewelry" by Irene From Peterson. Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop by Karen Karon seems to be the heir to Peterson's book. It's an anthology of chain maille weaves. There are some excellent books and DVDs on chain maille jewelry currently on the market and those into chain maille already have them. Chained by Rebeca Mojica is probably the best not only because of the photography and stunning projects but also the quality of information and instruction. However, Chained doesn't feature the European 4 in 1 or any of the Persian Weaves but it covers the Japanese 12 in 2 which isn't in Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop. Chain Maille Jewelry Workshop has few variations on the weaves.... it's devoted teaching a diverse number of classic weaves, not just 4 or 5 weaves before the author veers of on their own unique weaves. A good chain maille book will will go into the basics: wire guages, metal types, jump ring opening and closing and the math (yikes) of doing chain maille. Karon uses the following terms for inserting a new jump ring through the intersections created by previous jump rings: TE for through the eye and AE for around the eye are used when discussing the placement of rings using clear illustrations. She provides an in-depth discussion of the all important aspect ratio. . Now for the chains. It starts with the basic - the 1 in 1; 2 in 1; and the 2 in 2, What follows are the classics of chain maille: European 4 in 1 Byzantine/(aka Birdcage) Box (aka Queen Link, Inca Puno) Flower/rosette weave is taught is this chapter because it's used as a connector. Celtic (aka Parallel, Helm) Spiral/Double Spiral Jens Pind The Persian weaves: Full Persian (aka foxtail) The Half Persian 4 in 1 using a template to stabilize the rings while developing the pattern The Half Persian 3 in 1 The Half persian 3 in 1 sheet. No GSG (Great Southern Gathering)but it's similar to this weave. Round weaves Inverted or open round chain maille Roundmaille Turkish Round Dragonscale with instructions for an awesome dragonscale collar. The instructions are clearly illustrated using color coded jump rings. There are beautiful photographs of each weave. The final chapter give in-depth hints on using clasps and other findings and using the weaves to design jewelry. The back of the book has about 20 pages of aspect ratio and conversion charts. To those into chain maille or just getting started, add this to your library.
Review: Best starter for maille - Incredible tutorial n great photo support. Highly recommended. Learning from this book was so easy. Best mailed instruction in written format. Enjoyable
