Gypsy's Weavings @ Gulf Coast MakerCon 2015 - Show Notes

Gypsy's Weavings @ Gulf Coast MakerCon 2015

Saturday Apr 18, 2015 (00:09:54)

Description

One of the great things about Gulf Coast MakerCon is the wide variety of makers showing off their passions. Starting off our show this year was Bethany (Anakhet) Blascoe from Gyspy's Weavings, who makes chainmail items. She wore several of her jewelry designs on-air with us, showing off the complexity and beauty of this work.

Beginning her work in the Renaissance Fair community as a child, she has moved on from making actual armor to focusing on making more modern-usable items. She has improved her craft by attending workshops on other types of weaving, including crochet, which turns out to have a lot in common with chainmail.
