New Free Byzantine Chain Maille Tutorial

As part of my work for Hanfords I write free jewellery making tutorials for the Hanfords online jewellery school. Even though this latest tutorial was actually written by Anne Hanford-Dodgson, our resident chain maille fanatic, I thought I'd write about it here as it is a great tutorial for those wanting to learn a classical chain maille technique. What's more it is something that can be tried without spending a lot of money on specialist tools and equipment and you'll end up with a beautiful piece of jewellery at the end, something like the pieces below.

The tutorial is easy to follow and has pictures to guide you through every step. Anne has done a great job in making what can be a tricky weave to learn easy to pick up in simple steps and has even shown how it can be modified to produce a necklace, earrings or a bracelet.
