Jeweller, armourer and mother.

 

I started making maille in 1988 for serious 9th century re-enactment & started making jewellery in 2003.

My favourite metals to work with are sterling silver, copper, niobium and aluminum. I love the look of titanium but it's horrible to work with!

 

I have made well over 300 different weaves of maille at the moment, 68 of which are my own invention.

 

Big thanks to Julia Manning www.juliamanning.co.uk who kindly allows me to use her Crow image.

Sara is one of the most meticulous chainmaillers i've ever seen. She is a beautiful woman, with a beautiful soul whose work is ALWAYS...Perfect! i can only think of all the holes in her fingers from doing this much work/art/beauties. She has an imagination that never ceases from coming up with jewelry etc. that is always a knock out! i know cuz i have some of her earrings, that i love. ;) She's deserving of being in the magazines too!!! i just know that they would give her at least a couple pages on her pierces. so, go check out her awesome work. if i did that, haha, or even tried, i'd be bonkers by now. ichainmaille has to be the hardest thing to to. anyone can string... ;) Blessings! and keep on keeping on...you just keep getting better and better, even though your early works are just as marvelous as the new ones! ♥

While I have not talked to her in person, I have seen the quality of work she has made, and have to say, If I had a teacher for my armoring, I would choose her.
