Hi there. I've been surfing DA a bit, looking at others' chainmaille works. It's a hobby I really want to get into, but I'm not sure how to get started.

Hiya, I got started from looking at this site: [link] look in the WEAVES section and they have all kinds of tutorials on the different weaves...check out the other sections too..there is a lot u can learn from that site. I usually get my wire from The Ring Lord [link] u can buy rings already cut from there...there are also a lot more places too, just have to look around. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know! Good luck! =o)

love it - how do you keep it stiff enough to not lose the diamond shape? or are the rings just really tight so they don't move?
