Inspired Chainmaille Artists on DA

Chainmaille is another art form that I have very little experience with - not because I couldn't do it but because I don't have the patience for it.  I know, beading with seed beads is so much faster.  I can't explain it, maybe it's because I'm a purist and feel the need to make my own jump rings, which I don't enjoy doing....It's not even that hard, just time consuming!

However, chainmaille is an art form and I could only do the basic weaves (are they called weaves?).  My designs would be simple and boring compared to the pieces I'm showing you.  Here are 6 chainmaille artists from DeviantArt that are inspired as well as inspiring!
