Lets welcome our newest member Katty Candles and Jewelry!
Katty Candles and Jewelry has answered some questions for us. Lest see what she has to say!
How long have you been doing Chainmaille?
I have been doing Chainmaille since the summer of 2012, so almost two years.
Why do you like Chainmaille?
I like chainmaille because it's fun and easy to work with. It's also very versatile- it can be used to make jewelry, clothes, armor, and accessories. The rings come in all sorts of different colors and sizes too!
What is your favorite type of ring?
I like anodized aluminum the best because of the color variety, weight (it's incredibly light for metal), cost efficiency, and easy use for all chainmaille projects.
What type of items do you prefer to make?
Jewelry ones, of course! I like making choker necklaces the best (simply because they're my favorite to wear).
Which weave would you like to learn that you don't currently know?
I would like to learn the bore worm weave because it looks really cool and it seems to be pretty uncommon among jewelry... I always go for the strange and exciting!

Welcome Kettenglied To our group!
Today, we welcome Kettenglied to our guild. Let's see how they answered some questions about Chainmaille.
How long have you been doing Chainmaille?
I have been doing chainmaille for 2 years.
Why do you like Chainmaille?
I like doing chainmaille because I like the challenge of figuring out a pattern/weave.
What is your favorite type of ring?
My favorite type of ring would be the gold fill. I just looks pretty!
What type of items do you prefer to make?
I make all types of things, rings , necklaces, bracelets. I have yet to find a favorite.
Which weave would you like to learn that you don't currently know?
I would like to learn the Jens Pind linkage.
Which piece are you most proud of?
I am most proud of the scallop necklace, it was for my grandma and she loved.
What advice would you give someone who is considering doing Chainmaille?
I would have to say patience, you need lots of patience. Also take a break every now and then, sometimes you will figure a weave out if you just walk away for a second and then you go " oh now I get it". It is a great way to spend a cold day!
