Chain Mail + Color features a fun collection of 20 chain mail projects made from colorful aluminum jump rings and aluminum scales, disks, and washers. This new spin on chain mail takes traditional weaves and gives them a fresh, new perspective by incorporating these fun components. Unique projects plus color variations, including earrings, lariats, necklaces, bracelets, and a pin are in this collection. The projects are organized by material so there is a great variety of projects using scales, disks, and washers. A gallery of author Vanessa Walilko’s work, including chain mail vests, completes the book.

Laura Poplin’s clever chain mail jewelry brings an updated look to this ancient technique. Poplin treats chain mail not just as the focal point of jewelry, but also as an unexpected accent to pearls, metals, and even leather. A technique tutorial begins each project-filled chapter and covers five basic weaves: Euro 4-in-1, Byzantine; Unbalanced Euro 1-in-1; Japanese 12-in-2; and Chrysanthemum. A substantial tools and materials section covers everything from wire gauges and making jump rings to texturing metal and working with leather.

Play With Chain Mail focuses on using color, proportion, and scale to create multiple contemporary updates to popular weaves. This book is based on four chain mail weaves, Box(including Byzantine), Rosette, 4-in-1, and Helm, each weave is used to make five different jewelry projects. In addition to bracelets and necklaces (each with a twist on the traditional weave), author offers smaller, quick-and easy projects, such as earrings. Almost all the projects are made from affordable copper and colored aluminum; readers will be able to make lots of variations without a huge material investment. This book also offers even more bonuses: A handy chart shows readers at a glance which projects use a specific size or gauge of jump rings (all of the projects in this book can be made with a limited number of different-sized rings).

Use crystals, twisted jump rings, and other sparkly elements to create 30 eye-catching necklaces, bracelets, and earrings.

This highly unusual book gathers together the largest collection of photographs ever published of the astonishing tiled domes, minarets and walls of Islamic Asia. Michael Barry's text draws on a wealth of historical, technical and iconographic information to illuminate the history and meaning of these remarkable decorations. He traces the history of Islamic architectural tiles from their first major appearance at the end of the twelfth century as a means of protection from the weather, through their apogee in the fifteenth century which saw them perhaps at their most ornate, right up to the present day when Herat's tilemasters still perpetuate the finest medieval traditions. Beginning with a highly evocative traveller's impression of modern Afghanistan, the text combines profound historical knowledge with insight into the technical innovations that shaped the course of tile decoration in medieval Islam. In addition, in order to explore the symbolism behind the seven colors Michael Barry turns to one of the greatest medieval Persian-language poets, Nezami of Ganjeh, and his verse romance The Brides of the Seven Climes. He translates this series of tales, which are as charming and gripping as any in the Thousand and One Nights, and in his commentary provides a fascinating glimpse of the philosophical, literary and religious context for Nezami's work.
