Description We set up our stall at a disastrous arts & crafts fair last weekend. Made very few sales, but at least I had plenty of time to make some maille.

The lens was part of a dirt cheap (0,10 euro) magnifying glass which could be attached to a pair of glasses. The rings are bronze, 0.8x3,6 mm (20 ga. 1/8"). i used the same style of wrap which was used on the coin I posted earlier.

I plan to attach it to a chain and use it as an accessory for my steampunk-ish outfit at Nox Obscura this coming october.

That's a really excellent idea! Would you mind if I tried it out myself?

We've got another fair there in February. Hopefully the new management for the hall can get their act together this time.
