Chainmaille/ Jump Ring Jewelry Basics - Part I - Tools and Basic Weaves PDF
I tried in vain to photograph some pliers that I use for chainmail/jump ring work, but my digital camera wasn't cooperating. Then I tried to photograph some of my jump ring jewelry pieces, and no matter how hard I tried, nothing worked. So you'll have to bear with me while I spank my camera for being naughty. (It's not my fault, right :) The best I could do for shots of pliers to use are shown below.


I also have a free "basic chainmaille" weaves tutorial in PDF format. Help yourself. I haven't had any feedback on this tutorial, as it was designed for a magazine series that didn't get published due to space concerns. If you find it difficult to follow, please post a comment on this blog or sned me an email.
