Good Morning,
I have been debating this post for a while and haven't quite figured it all out myself yet.
On October 18, 2014, I had a heart attack. I spent three days at Saint Alphonsus Hospital (St. Al's) here in Boise. I had two stents implanted and have a year-long road to recovery ahead of me.
For the next couple of months I will be focusing on my health and attending the appointments the Doctors have set for me. This makes my schedule erratic on the best of days.
We still have lovely things in the shops. You can peruse the website, check out The CraftStar or visit our shop on Handmade Artists. Links are below or click any of the sidebar menu's handy icons to get where you'd like to go.

Good Morning,
Hail and welcome Game of Thrones fans, Vikings, Valkyries, Shield Maidens, Warrior Women, and Knights of the Realm. Today I would like to share a little about chainmaille. What is it? Where did it come from? Why is it spelled three different ways?
Chain mail in the Novodevichy Convent Museum in Moscow, Russia.
Spelled properly as mail, it is also spelled maille or maile
in some instances. Many maillers think that "Chainmaille" is redundant, because you maille to make chain. I spell it Chainmaille, Chain Maille or Chain Mail, not only to differentiate from the junk mail one receives in their mail box, but so that others searching for jewelry or other things can find the blog or items.
The word maille comes from the French meaning "mesh or
stitch". Chainmaille is an ancient art form, dating back to the 5th
Century Celts, and most likely made from iron rings. Creating maille is
called, weaving, knitting, or linking. Linking individual metal rings
together creates Chainmaille; occasionally these rings may be welded or
riveted. Commonly referred to as Jump Rings or O Rings, each ring is cut
from a coil of metal, creating uniform rings with which to work.

Maille may be made
out of a variety of metal including, copper, jeweler's brass also known
as Merlin's Gold, stainless steel, iron, aluminum, and precious
metals. Many modern day weavers choose Niobium, glass and Neoprene
rings to incorporate into their work. Copper is the oldest metal mined
by man and was used for any number of items from weapons to tools, and
jewelry. A set of maille jewelry is usually called a parure and is comprised of a necklace, bracelet, earrings and sometimes a ring is included as well.
Helm Weave Necklace.
Accented with Swarovski Crystals, by The Alchemists Vessel.
Matching Helm Weave bracelet.
Matching Helm Weave Earrings, also accented with Swarovski Crystals.
This set would make a wonderful gift or a fabulous and unique Wedding Set.
There
are many names for some weaves, and others are simply called what they
are called for whatever reason that may be, in some cases the name of
the weave has little to do with its origins. Weaves like the Box Chain
are also called Inca Puno and Queen's Chain. Double Chain also known as
Dragon Chain is not to be confused with Dragonscale, a complicated and
beautiful maille pattern.
Dragonscale Weave in Silver and 14Kt Gold-plated rings.
Dragon Chain
(aka Double Chain, but that's boring.)
Now
would be a good time to mention that although Maille was and in some
cases is still used to create armor, the designs shown and described
here are meant for jewelry, adornment and decoration, and will not protect you from anything!
Yes, it is made out of metal, yes it is strong, sturdy, durable and
sustainable, a good piece of maille will last a life time and longer
with proper care and feeding. However chunky or delicate, it will not protect you from knives, needles, swords, maces, axes, bullets, or projectiles of any kind, including harsh words or Cupid's arrows.
