	Dani and Rebecca, my favorites models, and I worked out a deal - a chainmaille bikini set for 2 photos shoots. Worked out well, yes? Rebecca (not yet my fiancee) and Dani were willing to prove their outfits were water resistant and street legal, so a trip to the pool was arranged. 'Nuff said.
Close ups of Rebecca's first bikini top. I'm very proud of the work and of my girl for being willing to pose in it.			This one piece taught me a great deal about chainmaille work in general and for women in particular.
		Examples of my Halfhand Bracers - All bracers I make do not have hooks or catches as they don't require them; the rubber rings allow sufficient stretching to pull them on over the hand and cling to the wearer comfortably without fear of losing them or being too tight (with a good fit).
Like the rest of my work, they're wind, water and wear resistant and won't fall apart of lose color with wearing unless work frequently to perform manual labor.				Not only are they an interesting addition to both Renaissance and Rave outfits, a firm fitting around the wrists provides support and, at least for myself, relief from aching wrists while I work on chainmaille.
	The purple and white long bracers, or sleeves, were made using white rubber rings for the contrast in colors and to help the pattern stand out boldly against the color. Again, all these sleeves were built with rubber rings to be slid over the hand and up the arm without hooks or catches.
	This custom sleeve was part of a pair made custom for a new customer. It was deliberately shaped to be wider close to the elbow, narrow as it approached the wrist, then flare again to partially cover the hand.
