Title: Maille Butterfly
Post by: RxScram on March 14, 2015, 07:50:20 PM
Here is a maille butterfly I did a few years ago. The metal is anodized niobium (by far my favorite material for maille.. hypoallergenic, strong enough for jewelry, and easy to work with).

Right on!  I have had the maille bug biting me lately...  This is cute!

Awesome!
So nice to see someone finally posting in this forum section!

The only weave I have ever really done is Japanese four in one.

You totally rocked out the Byzantine weave here!  The Butterfly is a cool concept!   :icon_sunny:

Thanks Amanda!  The Byzantine is definitely my favorite weave for doing jewelry and chains. Time consuming when you're working with 7/64" ID 20 gauge rings, but worth it. :-)

Would you be willing to do a tutorial on byzantine weave we can post in the tutorials area?

Sure! It might take me a week or three, but I'll get one up there. :-)
