Nov. 23rd, 2007 10:30 amHello! My name's Jessica (aka redpanda). I've been watching this community on my other journal for a LONG time, and I figured it's about high time that I stopped lurking. I wanted to share my latest creation with y'all and get your opinions/comments.
It's a chainmaille scarf.
A scarf made entirely of metal.
Pic behind cut!

Here's my theory. Metal is a great conductor of heat. I figure when you put it on, yeah it's going to be cold at first, but then your body heat will warm it up. Then it will use that body heat to remain warm as long as you're not in say, fierce winds. When I was out the day I took that picture, the theory worked, but it's yet to be really cold out here. I figure even if it doesn't stay warm, it would be just an awesome fashion accessory (even in the summer).
It's a LOT more light weight than it looks. Weighs about as much as a thick wool scarf does.
What do you think?
