This is a stunning bracelet that makes a definite statement! Another name for this one is Mermaid’s Mesh. It is heavy (well over 2 troy ounces in silver), It’s intricate, dense, and flexible—think how scales overlap and expand and contract. It’s one of the most beautiful chainmail weaves! Make it in sterling silver or in copper.

The kit includes step-by-step, illustrated instructions, Argentium™ sterling or jump rings and a special toggle clasp. (Bracelet is 1 inch wide.)

There are sufficient rings for a 9 inch bracelet; and all rings are saw-cut and polished.

Marilyn Gardiner

 


Instructor: Marilyn has a passion for creating jewellery. This is her new lease on a life — she is a retired teacher and school-board computer consultant.

Three interwoven paths are developing in her life. The first is a love of pattern and design from different eras and cultures and its reflection in her bead work and designs. The second is her enjoyment of teaching adults, and the third is the satisfaction of developing beadwork kits with clear, step-by-step directions and diagrams that really work with learners. Many of her beading skills were self-taught using books, the internet, and trial and error but she enjoys seeking out and travelling to learn from experts such as Don Pierce, Virginia Blakelock & Carol Perrenoud (bead loom), William Hodge, Marla Gassner, & David Chatt (off-loom beading), Jennie Might (bead crochet), Bette Kelley (broadcollars), Rod Owen (Kumihimo), Jennifer Campbell & Sharilyn Miller (wirework), Jay Humphreys (PMC), Fred Zweig (silverwork), and Joni Kisro (chainmaille).

She teaches classes in Waterloo Region, Toronto, Texas and Arizona.
