If for some strange reason you happened to be looking at my college transcript, you might notice an odd course tucked in between "Poetry/Prose Workshop" and "Discrete Mathmatics" - a course labeled "EXCO 206:Chainmail & Calligraphy." The calligraphy part was fun, but it was the chainmail that really grabbed my attention.

I started by learning basic armor weaves on cheap galvanized steel, but it wasn't long before I started experimenting with colors and patterns in anodized aluminum. After a few years of playing with bright shiny colors, I needed a new challenge so I 'graduated' to silver and gold. I've been working with chainmail for 8 years now, and the best part is that I'm still learning new things all the time.

To purchase any of my chainmail designs, please visit my Etsy shop.
