Description
please consider looking at this album for more photos. +10 strength +5 stamina imgur.com/gallery/W7mef
This client was amazing and commissioned this lovely mixed color piece through my Gemslots LLC Etsy. After a few conversations, we decided the black squared maille and the sporadic colors would suite his needs. He was vocal through the process and critiqued things he wanted changed to make a dream piece. Credit for photographer: lucky-rabbit-photog.deviantartโฆ for capturing some amazing photos that aren't to be reproduced. Items used in construction were large anodized aluminum scales, 1/4" 16g squared anodized aluminum rings, and handcrafted 1/4" 16g galvanized steel rings. This is my first projrct using the black suade leather for the strap and punching eyelets.

Really?? Like... Would they be effective against some sort of small blades? Or are they usually just for cosmetic/cosplay purposes?

it's more prop since it's aluminum vs steel.

oh wow, I bet both would be stunning! How much do these cost? I don't think I could afford one right now but I'd love to know for future reference

approximately $300, but very depending on how many colors and sizing. Feminine sizing sometimes runs smaller

I worked on this over the course of a month. but I work 40 hours a week to pay bills, so if say 3 weeks between prepping links and construction.
the project itself took 6 weeks to wait on 2 shipments of supplies

that is pretty impressive stuff. But the end-result was certainly worth it!ย
Thanks for the answer

the client had a great scheme they wanted. Made the project even easier to want to draft up

That always makes the process that much easier, nothing worse than a client that doesn't really know what they want and you have to keep going back and changing things.
