Lisa--your link has been posted.  Jolene--thanks for your support.  myeuropeantouch--all further in-progress photos will only be for people who donate to the Kickstarter project.  I figured $2 was a fair amount of money to donate for a year's worth of updates.

Hi Lisa--thanks for spreading the word!  Do you have a link you'd like me to reference on my Facebook page?

Larissa--while I plan on posting the finished dress in every place that will let me post photos, the in-progress photos will only be available to people who pledge at least $2.  I want to give them exclusive access to the making of such a project in thanks for their support.

Thanks, Larissa.  I'm excited--it looks like I'll actually hit my goal and then I can really get serious about working on this.

Thanks so much!  I've posted about you on Facebook.  And really, good luck on the Renaissance bodice.  I support epic chainmaille.

Hi all,

I mostly just lurk on this board since I always have pliers in my hands.  But I recently started a Kickstarter project to fund my latest piece of epic chainmaille clothing piece: a chainmaille wedding dress.

The dress and veil will be made from over 100,000 anodized aluminum rings.  You can read more about the project here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1418616804/the-bride-an-epic-chainmaille-wedding-dress

I'm sure that posts asking for donations are as difficult to read as they are to write, so I'll keep my pleading short.  We're all artists and this isn't the best economic climate, so I won't beg for funds.  However, if anyone is willing to promote this on a blog, Facebook page, etc., I'm willing to post on my Facebook page about your HAF shop, or any other link that you'd like promoted from now until the end of the campaign at least (April 13).  If you do post something, just let me know about it so that I can send some traffic your way as well.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  And thanks for reading!

Best,
Vanessa

P.S. - Here's a photo of the veil so far.
