Title: Chain-mail Glove
Medium: Silver, Leather
Size of Work: 7” x 7” x 1”
Date Completed: November, 2009


This project was inspired by medieval fantasy books I have read and the armor I have seen. Creating over one thousand jump rings, required patience and concentration. I created chain mail using the jump rings then cut leather and sewed the components together to create the glove. All the jump rings were wrapped and cut by hand using a jeweler's saw blade.

O.O That is awesome. How did you manage to make them so small?

Using a smaller dowel and a rather large gauge (16 g) wire. Glad you like it!

That pretty amazing, I can hardly conceive the dedication this took to complete, but it's BEAUTIFUL, plus now you can reach into a tank of sharks with impunity!
