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>
ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>For today's Saturday Showcase: bead capture.</p><p>Using the same technique from the D20 cage I shared recently, you can create a string of captured beads, making for a really eye-catching look with tons of options between ring colours and bead materials.</p><p>I'm still working on finding beads with a sufficiently narrow size margin (get the size wrong and the beads will fall out) so I'm not making any for my store yet, but they'll be landing eventually.</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>
ZoLo 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇳🇴🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♾️<p>For today's Saturday Showcase: Dragon Scale.</p><p>When I was first getting into chainmaille I saw this weave as the "I'll never be that good" weave. When I finally tried it, Dragon Scale turned out to actually be quite easy to make. But damn it looks good 😍</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/SaturdayShowcase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaturdayShowcase</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/ChainmailJewelry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChainmailJewelry</span></a></p>
