So I worked out this system to convert an arbitrary image into a chainmail pattern. And I got a pile of anodized aluminum rings in a size that makes a really dense weave. I had been working on an image of Fender for a while in a different size of ring, but I wanted something small and really colorful that I could show to friends without having to come out as a furry and all.

So I started working on a fish at first, but that pattern ran me out of dark purple.
So I made a different pattern. One with a good mix of all the colors.

It's an eye! If it doesn't make any sense, look at it from across the room.

To get the base image I brutally cropped 's icon because it's really pretty. I maybe should have asked permission first, but I was doing this mostly for myself as a test so I didn't really worry about it. If there's a problem with it I'll deal with the problem.

Anyway. Anodized aluminum (16ga 3/16" ID), 6.5 x 5 inches, 40 x 30 pixels. This one is not for sale, but I'm considering working out a pricing for these because I think they're really cool.
