ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>One of the great things about chainmaille crafting is it requires very little in the way of tools and space, so it's easy to do in the garden on a beautiful day.</p><p>Today I'm enjoying the sun while working on my latest made-to-order item; a chainmaille fidget sheet.</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/chainmaille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chainmaille</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/SelfCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfCare</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neurodivergent</span></a></p>
ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>Sometimes I get so bogged down trying to do a thing that it stops me from doing another thing. Case in point: In trying to get perfect photos for my new bracelets, they've been sitting here waiting to be listed for over a week. So I've just done my best, and will adjust them later. </p><p>So, you can now buy my dragonscale weave bracelets!

ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>I've been so distracted lately I've not done any chainmaille, and I'd forgotten about my Saturday Showcase posts. So, a week and and a day late... Japanese Weave.</p><p>Japanese weave can be quite a pain to make, but is a very striking weave with a lot of versatility. You can also see the way that warfare techniques informed weave designs, as Japanese's wide flat rings are well suited against the slashing attacks they commonly faced. </p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/chainmaille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chainmaille</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ChainmailJewelry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChainmailJewelry</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/SaturdayShowcase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaturdayShowcase</span></a></p>
TownmailThis is what I call a chainmail panel top, or crop top. It is composed of front and back panels of European 4 in 1 chainmail attached by sets of chain straps. The panels are made from large anodized aluminum rings, while the straps are made from smaller bright aluminum rings. The front panel has a subtle taper at the bottom, while the back panel stops abruptly. The shoulder and armpit straps provide security, and the waist strap is primarily for decoration. There are no clasps on this piece and it is intended to go on and off over the head. This results in no adjustability and a smaller range of body types that it will fit, so finding a way to make this adjustable would be beneficial. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmaille?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmaille</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/armor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/maker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fashion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashion</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aluminum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aluminum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/croptop?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#croptop</a>
TownmailThis is a chainmail bra made from half anodized aluminum rings and half rubber rings. Both kinds of rings are a brilliant sky blue. The rubber rings provide some stretch and insulation, making it more comfortable to wear than a bra made from all metal. There is only one clasp around the back, and the straps around the neck are fixed. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmaille?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmaille</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/armor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/maker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/costume?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#costume</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fashion?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fashion</a>
TownmailThis is a large scalemail pauldron. It hangs off one shoulder while wrapping under the opposite arm for support. It is composed of anodized aluminum scales, starting with uncolored scales with black trim at the top, then changing to fully black scales partway down. The scales are attached to a strip of chainmail which holds the piece to the body. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chainmaille?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chainmaille</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/scalemail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scalemail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/armor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#armor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/maker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maker</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crafts?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crafts</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aluminum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aluminum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pauldron?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pauldron</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/shoulder?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shoulder</a>

ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>One of the reasons I like chainmaille as a craft is that while my fibromyalgia often leave me sofa-bound, chainmaille requires very little space: all I need is my pliers, jump rings, and a lap tray (complete with a custom play mat from deep cut studios.) So while I'm not up to doing anything else, I can work on my latest piece while watching a movie... Usually horror, currently the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/chainmaille" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chainmaille</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/DisabledLifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DisabledLifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/crafts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crafts</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/HorrorMovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HorrorMovies</span></a></p>
