You've come up with a great list of books! I started chain maille with the book "Great Wire Jewelry" by Irene from Petersen. It's a great beginner book for chain maille and braided jewelry.
Chain maille is interesting. I'm afraid I promised my hubby I would start another hobby though haha. ;)
What great books. I have put them on my Christmas list of wanted. Maybe hub might check out amazon or something for me.
I've done a little chainmaille myself - I'm mostly a metalsmith. But I'm thinking about doing a little more of this on the side.
Thanks for the great list of books. I'm bookmarking it.
I highly recommend that Dylon Whyte book - lots of great projects by many amazing artists. If you're interested in stretchy chain maille, check out the new Susan Thomas book Link It.
