Jun. 30th, 2005 07:32 pmWheee. Happy day before Canada Day, folks. I'm thinking about preparing a special phone post for tomorrow, in the form of a tribute to the Home and Native Land a la Ontario Provincial Police Constable Lyndon Slewidge. Or maybe i'll go dig about for the microphone and just do it here. Anyway, going out tonight- still uncertain if
fairygirl70 is coming along or not. Picked up yet another maille choker commission, this one from someone who saw
skyewolf1's piece. Oh- and since that isn't any of you here yet, here are pictures:

The entirety of the piece, except for the clasp and reciever.

Detail of the centre weave.
As usual, larger versions may be seen by clicking each of the smaller ones.
This is mainly 14 gauge ¼" stainless and blackened stainless European 4-in-1, with the centre piece 13 rings of the same stainless, 1 of the blackened stainless (which isn't visible in this picture- it's behind the centremost ring), 4 16 gauge 7/16" stainless rings, and 5 14 gauge 7/16" blackened stainless rings. Weight is right about 300 grams. Total labour involved: approximately 10 hours. Estimated retail price for a piece of this nature is right around $200, should i ever do another similar to it.
