Join me on a journey to explore the intricacies of creating chainmail! Rooted in medieval techniques but brought to the fantasy world of Narnia.

This video shows how to make Susan's Battle Look, from the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Featuring footage from my New Zealand travel adventure where we filmed in iconic Narnia and Lord of the Rings locations.

This part of the process was definitely challenging (even more than weaving my own fabric!)
