So I've been thinking about getting into some chainmaille or scalemaille projects, mostly because I want to commission a scaled tail, but don't want to pay the minimum $250 for it. So after looking into the costs of the supplies, looking at how much time I spend doing useless shit, and how much sanity I need to maintain through this lovely divorce I find myself in the middle of, I figure this could be a fantastic idea...... maybe even a new calling in the ways of finding commissions (since, "artistic," is the LAST thing you'd think when you see my drawings..... *shudder*).
That being said, does anyone know of a good place to start in the ways of this new realm of awesome? Good workers or other people that know what they're doing with chainmaille jewelry and similar crafts? Cheap sellers of rings and scales? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
