Maille pouch

janestarzBeen working on this thingy for a few days now. At first I wanted to make a pouch with a square bottom (the little house pattern that works so well for fabric pouches) but in the end I decided to make a regular one.
As a side note: it is absolutely flabbergasting what people will make out of chainmail rings. Even if I have not learned my lesson before, I might have learned it after Googling "chainmail pouch" and finding... well, something for the men. It was quite... um... filled. And my, that must have been some heck of a decrease to work in there. *cough*
I also went a bit wild with the anti-vignette correction filter in the GIMP.
More under the cut:
The queen ring on the bottom sticks out a bit; and no wonder as it is the one in "one-in-eight".
The pouch is large enough to accomodate my fist. The neck of the pouch is gold aluminium rings (um, the small-scale weaving sized rings) and a silk braid from embroidery floss through ½ the number of green rings that would be the next row.
Tutorial found on Chainmail Basket who have a blessed shortage of lingerie projects on their site and instead are, quite literally, basket cases.
I still have 1500 green rings in their original wrappers and then some few more already prepared as closed rings. They're very tempting and I just needed a fun project with them. Guess this counts as one.
