My son Chris presented me with this chain-mail glove last night. It's the largest size chain-mail glove available, is made of 1/8" stainless steel rings and is intended for butchers and fishermen to protect their hands from the sharp knives. He said I could probably get enough chain-mail out of it for an outfit for my Tedros, and I do think I will be able to, but my Tedros is a big guy - I just have to open up the glove and undo the double parts - maybe even re-connect some of the fingers. A lot of work, yes, but just a fraction of the year or two it would take me to create chain-mail like that from scratch!  I'm thinking of chain-mail sleeves to fit under a decorative tunic, something like Boromir's costume in Lord of the Rings - and possibly a collar if there is enough left over. I'm thinking a long-sleeve undergarment to sew the chain-mail sleeves onto - that way the resin is protected. 

Anyway, I just had to get out my Arwyn's shield and some letter opener swords and take a photo because the glove is just too cool! 

Just a little note - any outfit made with the chain-mail would be purely for my own dolls and not for sale, since these gloves are extremely expensive and therefore anything made from them would be totally cost prohibitive.
