In the midst of our Bead&Button show, we posted the latest Newsletter to the website. You’ll notice that the newsletter format will be changing after this issue. We’ve had the same format for about 4 years, and, well, we’re itching to deliver information, coupons and updates to you in different ways. We’re pretty sure that you’ll like these changes, but we always like to check in with you as we make changes, so feel free to leave a comment here to let us know what you think.
This edition contains project ideas for size T14 (14ga 3/8″) — mongo-size maille! We’ve also included a quick finger ring project, color palette ideas and a listing of some upcoming classes and products.
I love your site and the information I received. I’m planning a Buzantine bracelet to sell that requires 120 6 mm F17 rings plus 3-5 art glass beads and 2 art glass spacers, silver spacers and a slide 2 strand clasp. I want to use sterling rings. I’m debating on replacing the beads with more rings but don’t know if the bracelet would be more desirable. Certainly both would be nice. Is it possible to receive some help with either a discount or a coupon as I’m retired and the cost of silver continues to rise. I’m just beginning with chainmail and find it intriguing and will continue to place orders as I’ve found an outlet for my work in AZ.
