Maille Call - Featured Maille Artisans

Good Morning,

Today since I do not have a single artist to share with you, I thought we would take a look at the competition on handmadeartist.com,
all of them are different and their work is amazing.

From: Chainmaille by MBOI - This husband and wife team not only run Handmade Artists, they make some beautiful things as well.

Product Details:
Copper with a twist! This byzantine bracelet measures 7.5″ in length and is separated by 4 Japanese 8 in 2 cubes. The cubes are separated by 6mm Indian agates. The cubes and agate are strung on copper wire so that they can move freely on the piece for those of you who like to play with your jewelry. This piece is held secure with a handmade "S" clasp.

From: Handmaden Designs - This lady's maille is incredible, there are lots of items I would like to feature, but then you would be here all day. A member of M.A.I.L, she is also the Weave Submissions administrator for the site, and this woman knows her maille!

Celtic Visions bracelet

Product Details:

This bracelet is a sold sterling silver Celtic Visions weave chainmaille bracelet.  It is just over 8.5 inches long and is 1/4 inch wide.  Some of the rings have been hammered so that they catch the light better and have more sparkle than regular round-wire rings would have.

From Mithril Weaver - Josh doesn't have much to say about himself on the site, but then again, I think his work speaks volumes.  This is amazing!
  
Aura 3 Icosahedron Foot Bag

Aura 3 Icosahedron Foot Bag

Product Details:

 Simply put - the best chainmaille foot bag available.  Made of aluminum and rubber rings.  Filled with plastic beads.  Weighs 1.5 oz.  2" in diameter.  Orange rubber rings glowin the dark.
I play soccer and hacky sack.  I designed my footbags to perform perfectly.  They are easy to stall and perfectly symmetrical (unlike other foot bags out there).  Each foot bag has 422 individual rings and 60 beads.  They take me 3 hours to make.  The price is high, but you will get what you pay for.  All my products are guaranteed against breakage.  I will fix it for free if it breaks.  

From: Lupus Sux - This is a different artist.  Spelling in Chayn Mayle instead, this man has some truly unique pieces in his shop.  Married and forced to stay indoors due to his Lupus diagnosis, he is a self taught artisan with a lot of talent.
