Made a few chainmaille star ornaments this evening. This design dates back to 2002 and was created by Dreamseeker and posted to the The Ring Lord’s Forums. The design has very specific requirements and doesn’t take well to changing wire metals, or winding the wire loosely which will result in changing the diameter of the rings. The anodized colored aluminum rings were purchased from The Ring Lord. The bright aluminum rings were cut by hand from the wound spring with a jewelers saw.

I’m constantly thinking about new projects and slowly working on the ones I’ve started. I would like to share the issues I work through and the new things I learn while working on these projects. You’ll be able to learn from my posts, and we can get into a discussion that will help all of us further our understanding of the topics. We all know that the internet is a great resource, and I’d like to contribute to it in my little way.
Possible new posts coming up:
- Demosaicing raw images
- Fuji s7000 camera raw image file format with a Java image reader
- Image Processing: Filters, Histograms, Masks, Brushes
- JUnit testing
- Java image and file browser with support for dynamic thumbnail sizes
- Java image viewer with zooming
- Fonts and custom text in Java
- My decision process for choosing a file format for my image and document reader
- Biking in Minnesota
- My art from grade school. Why did they not tell me to press harder on the crayons and color pencils?
- Book reviews.
- Yes, and there will be more — when I get my thoughts and notes in order!
I’m sure I will find much more than the above to write about, and since posts will be detailed there will be multiple posts about each topic. I hope the things I write about will help some of you. I’ll be growing in my understanding of these topics as time passes, just like you did or are. Please point out my trouble-spots, and how I can fix them, and what I should read to get better understanding of the topic. Let’s help each other learn here.
Let me know if any of the above topics strike your fancy. If you put a legit email in for your comment I’ll try and let you know personally when I post about the topic.
Out for now, have a great end of the week!
