Chain Mail + Color

Several months ago, I received this book from the author.  I had contacted her and explained that I had a blog site www.rite-it.blogspot.com where my craft book reviews appear.  She graciously sent me a copy.  I began to peruse the book and was blow away.  The pictures, details, instructions, chain mail designs, etc., are perfection personified.  Each and every project is presented in a very well organized manner and all tools, and materials are listed.  One can also order all the supplies from the author for the various designs.  Takes away the frustration of "where to source the materials."  The colorful jewelry examples illustrated on the cover tease one to look inside and get lost in a remarkable assortment of projects utilizing aluminum jump rings, scales, and disks.  All of the designs are doable even for a novice chain mailer.  I can't wait to complete and wear the "Goddess of the Sun" collar.  It's striking elegance will make me feel like royalty.
