My choker of insanity being modeled by the beautiful Krista (a.k.a. * spiralkitty)
Choker is composed of 30 gauge aluminum, with the European 6 in 1 weave for the main band and Box Chain dangles.

You must be sick in the head to even attempt something like this....
(That was a compliment by the way)...I've tried making micro-rings with 30swg copper and attempted e4-in-1 to no avail...

WOW!
I can only make things out of pre-fab rings and chain and such...what an inspiration to craftsmen/women everywhere!
Thank you!

Only took me a month, too 
It's not hard at all! In fact I plan to make some tutorials to show people just how easy it is! 
I originally learned from the internet, various web sites with tutorials of their own 
The best online resource I found for maille-making is The Chainmaille Board, it's the biggest online community of maillers on the web! Sorta like the deviantART for chainmaille

I gave it to *spiralkitty as payment for modeling it I'd rather give away pieces like that than try to sell them

This is really great. Beautiful metal work 
Not a bad detail shot. I'd like to see it a bit closer, however.
30 gague Aluminum?! Why not 30 gague Silver?!

So I can see the weave in more detail.
Yes, silver. It would be very good if you got some micro-gague silver and did something along those lines. A much brighter look.

I'll see about digging up my original scan of the necklace and post an extreme detail shot into my scraps
I'd love to work with silver sometime, but unfortunately I can't afford it at the moment

That'd be useful.Can't afford it? Well, that's too bad. It isn't too expensive (depending upon what gague and the planned weave of the piece). About $6.40 an ounce. And you could sell it without a problem.
Krista's neckline is just beautiful too
