10 New Individual Pattern Tutorials Now Available!


The title says it all, Dylon Whyte's Art of Chainmail now has 10 new tutorials available through Metal Designz and Etsy.com.

Click here to take a look!

Included among these tutorials are some of my most requested patterns to date, such as "Silver Serpent", "Double Half-Persian" and "Fieldstone".

Each tutorial includes the same illustration system used in Dylon's "Art of Chainmail" and "Chain Mail Jewelry" books and includes information on how to easily start, continue, end and add a clasp to each pattern, making the tutorials perfect resources for anyone interested in chain jewelry construction!

These new individual tutorials also include ring size and material suggestions specific to Metal Designz for each pattern (with a conversion chart available). Materials include sterling silver, stainless steel, bronze, bright aluminum and in some cases neoprene (just in case you are interested in making stretchy chain bracelets!)

Be sure to read Dylon's feedback on Etsy if you would like to know what other chainmail enthusiasts think about these new tutorials!

Please feel free to drop me a note if you have any questions or comments!

P.S. For the next couple of months I'm going to be pretty tied up with shows, classes and work for the new Lark Book, however, in the new year, I hope to start offering a new chain tutorial at least every other week, if not weekly!
