Description : 30 May, 2023
Updated as of May 30 2023 Many years ago, I started working on a private project maille using open ready-made jump-hoops of nickel, only to never wear the 3+ year-long item as a fire destroyed my environment before I finished the piece. A couple years later I began again, with the lesson learned to WEAR WHAT I HAVE """NOW""""... I did, I wore the piece I am showing here as the sample and in the short YouTube video. I kept working on it, buhhhhhhht, all those years of handling that specific metal, I grew intolerant to it - now, I cannot touch it without reacting to it. *** I also have grown intolerant to many of the acrylic paints I've used over the years, as the pigments are metallic elements. (sigh)
I have not - in several years - attempted to do anything with the extra pieces I have left over, and don't want to tamper with the yoke I made, therefore I think it's time to pass them along to someone who might be able to make better use of the material.
Len's Mill is where I purchased all of my supply, and no-doubt they still carry them in abundance.
The fabric up for grabs is not soldiered shut - and, realistically, they don't need to be. Occasionally one may disconnect and there'll be a gap, where other times it will hook into its neighbour, resulting in a knot, but, I enjoy the jigsaw puzzle-like task of figuring how to fix it, then actually attempting to do just that! HA!!
Piece A I had tacked along the top edge to a sweatshirt I wore (and still do) in cold weather, and forms a giant letter 'T', though my name has no such letter in it.
Piece B I took some hoops out of in an attempt to make an inverted spider web design, buhhhhht .....
Plunk into dish soapy water, it will shine like the beauty you want it to be, HOWEVER******if you have a high acidic system, the metal might turn dark -- there are many hand sewers out there who cannot use casually available needles as they are made of nickel, and turn dark within minutes in their hand.
I will leave the rest of the details for when anyone who is interested contact me.
Pickup Only I am located right in the downtown here in Guelph
Oh, and the collar is made with 16,411 smaller rings than the pieces up on offer.
