Description
Japanese 6 in 1 chainmail in blue anodized aluminum and black EPDM rubber - super sexy, no? I finished this up about two weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting pictures. I'm in love with this piece, and Court is too.Model:

There's not much of a back, just a chain and a clasp.

ok because whenever i make a halter top its either too big where it sags or too tight where i cant get it over my head

I find that making things adjustable is best - I use clasps or ties so that whoever wears the piece can fit into it well.

Very cool! How long does it take to make one of those?

Thanks! About 6 hours or so, I'd guess? I kind of lose myself in the creative process.

that's wonderful when that happens. Your mind becomes quite and it's just you and your art. Very relaxing and meditative. That's why I love art so much because it's a great escape from the world and a wonderful way to express yourself.
Have a wonderful week

Thats great that you got them already! I hope they aren't too dark red color. The red clay I have bakes up really dark.

OMG they're perfect! One question moving forward, though... Can you make the loops on the top run the other way?

I'm always confused on which way to put those. If you haven't noticed you can move the ones in the mushrooms that you have. You can even pull them out, and then put a little super glue on them when you push it back in to keep it tight. That way you can hang it the way you want.

It looses something because the dear is, well, not endowed (er... burdened?).
But, that's no dig at her. Very cute. This picture should be in the photo section instead of AC imho.
Ugh. /FootInMouth

Thanks so much for the comments, and I do see what you mean. Unlike some people on DA I'm never afraid of constructive criticism. I'm not one of those who demands flowery praise or silence.
It's in AC because I made it, and I didn't take the photo... I don't want to take credit for work that isn't mine.

it looks awesome I just finished a choker for my GF out of rubber rings and Galv steel with aluminum designs I will have to post it but it would look amazing with that kind of top

Very nice! I like how soft it seems to be.
Haven't seen yo around my page in a while, what do you think about the direction I went in? (obviously towards less maille work)

Thanks!
I like it to be honest, how are you enjoying doing more fine jewelry work?

Well I wouldn't go so far as to call my work "fine jewelry" yet

That is absolutely stunning! How long did that take?

Thanks!!
I'd estimate between 8-12 hours, but it's kind of hard to know because when I start making something, especially a new big piece, I really lose track of time and get lost in the creative process.
