Like: The illustrations and step by step instructions, Clear concise and easy to follow. She breaks everything down simply. Love the possibilities of design. I can't wait to start switching up the colors on some of the bracelets to fit my customers needs. Dislike the author's opinion about her preference of certain cuts of rings. Of course it's an opinion but some new chain maillers may take it as gospel and not try to use other cuts. Also some of the sizes of rubber o rings are not available from the supplies I use. I also researched some other sources and they are not available either. Good pictures, great instruction. I can't wait to get working on these designs and maybe come up with some other ones of my own.
I enjoyed the patterns and ideas in this book. I've done chainmail a long time and it was perfect for ideas on how to do something a bit different with chainmail. I would prefer the ring sizes be in English measurements but there is a conversion chart in the back. the pictures and written instructions are clear and precise. I probably won't do any of the projects exactly as described but I've already used basic elements the book teaches to do my own patterns.
