What is an inlay, and how do I make one?
From the chainmailler’s perspective, an inlay is a piece of chainmail with a design or image set into it. Check out the Inlays section of the Gallery for examples. There are a few differnet methods to make an inlay, which include the use of different (usually sheet) weaves in the same piece, or the much more common use of different coloured rings. Different colours can be achieved by using different metals, or by using coloured rings (anodized aluminum, enameled copper, etc.). Also check out the Inlays section of the Articles & Tutorials. Zlosk has created a free program that will allow you to create inlay designs from simple bitmaps. You can find it here.
