Guest Comments 14 August 2008 I love your site ... such nice work. I have just started working with chain maille, and I hope to incorporate it into my work. –– Beth, Austin, TX 30 July 2008 I've met you at a few shows. Wish I lived closer so that I could take your classes. –– Barbara DeYoung, Pittsford NY 8 July 2008 I love chainmailling and am interested in using nobium with other metals (copper, silver, etc.) I like the Japanese snowflake, the Byzantine, and Harlequin patterns. –– Nancy Luts, Madison, NJ 7 July 2008 I love your site! The fact that you have quality anodized aluminum jump rings at such affordable prices is a miracle in and of itself. I'm a chain-mailer, and am really just getting started with creating my own designs, so having a site like yours where I can find my supplies readily available is really fantastic. Keep up the good work! –– John Ferra, Laveen, AZ 7 July 2008 Very happy to have stumbled upon your site - it's informative, user-friendly and has some beautiful designs in the gallery. My order arrived today and I was impressed with both the speed of delivery and the quality of the rings. Oh and thank you for the complimentary rings included – a pleasant surprise! –– Vanessa Edwards, Adelaide, Australia 6 July 2008 Hi BBB, I met you in Milwaukee!!!! You have great stuff :) I can't wait to see more!!!!! –– Jan (Jan's Bead Palace), Aurora IL 6 July 2008 I really love your site. I got a lot of ideas from it. Your do great work. I hope to get there some day. My first project was a dragonscale bracer for my husband, which turned out great considering I had never made anything like it before. Now I am really getting into the chainmaille and I am going to start making pieces to sell. Even my 4 year old daughter is wearing a practice braclet I made. It is very time consuming so I just try to have fun with it, I hope everyone else who works in this does the same thing. Good luck to everyone. –– Catrina, Las Vegas NV Rebeca replies: Wow! Props to you; I can't even image doing a dragonscale as a first project. Way to go! 2 July 2008 I love shopping this site for supplies and ideas for jewelry making! My items always arrive soooo quickly. Thanks for being such great enablers :-) –– Allison, Mooresville, NC 30 June 2008 I just found chainmail jewelry this weekend, and I can't WAIT to make some of my own! From what I see, your kits and supplies will get me started off just perfectly! Thank you! –– Glenys, Eagle River, AK 23 June 2008 I met with you at the Bead&Button Show and enjoyed talking to you and bought some product from you. I hope to get going on the jumprings very soon.

Love your stuff! –– Lori, Aurora, OH 9 June 2008 I saw you at the Bead & Button show and was immediately impressed. I bought instructions for several of your designs. I haven't had a chance to make anything yet, but the instructions look very clear and the pictures are great. I'm looking forward to making these pieces and will definitely be coming back to your site for more! –– Renee Goodwin, Raleigh, NC 6 June 2008 I have ordered from this site twice and been amazed at the speed that my orders get here, that and I just love the rings I get. I am relatively new to chain mail but have been around long enough to be able to do the basic weaves and consider myself thoroughly addicted. Thanks again. –– Rebecca Powell, Maple Valley, WA 3 June 2008 I have gotten into chainmail quite recently and am hooked. My sons have the only mom that makes them chainmail cuffs and other cool items! –– Michelle Gordon, Calgary, Alberta, Canada 27 May 2008 I have ordered twice from you and the rings were wonderful and the instructions clear.

I think your website is fab, its a shame there is nothing similar in the UK. Happy mailing! –– Vikki, Birmingham, UK 14 April 2008 What a fantastic web site! I've been looking at all the chain maille sites out there, and the beginning kits offered are a bit on the pricey side. Thank you so much for offering a couple of basic patterns for free so that I can check this out and see if I really like it and can do it before investing a lot of $$$. I've downloaded the 'wiggle' and can't wait to give it a try. –– Melissa 13 April 2008 Love you guys, the ideas, the rings and the service. The rings are awesome, did I mention that? :) You are my one and only for rings! Finally a place I can understand (being blonde having nothing to do with it!) and your website is easy to navigate. Keep it up! –– Cyndi Russell, Janesville, WI 24 March 2008 I love your site! I have recently taken up trying my hand at chainmaille and am already hooked. I look forward to a long relationship with Blue Buddha Boutique! –– Beth Muffley, Bethalto, IL 20 March 2008 Wow! I found your website in an article in the April Bead&Button magazine.

Can't wait to explore some more when I have time! –– Anna Harmanson, Kingsley IA 11 March 2008 I'm looking forward to receiving your newsletters. Your maille designs are original and unique. I've ordered two of them so far. Can't wait to try them. –– Elizabeth Calafiore, Palm Desert CA 7 March 2008 I received my order. I am impressed with the way you package your kit directions!! Thanks so much for going a set beyond to help me keep everything organized. I love my bulls-eye earrings I was able to create with your precise directions. I am very happy with your products! –– Sukey Rankin, Hagerstown, MD 22 February 2008 I just wanted to tell you how very pleased I am with your service and the quality of your product.

I got it on my first try! And my cat promptly claimed it as her very own, so it looks like I'll have to make another one for myself! –– Hayley E, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada 11 November 2007 Your work is gorgeous and your website is phenominal. I am just breaking into weaving and I was able to decipher (I think) which rings to buy and patterns to print from your site. Trust me, I have spent countless hours searching other sites. What a surprise to get my rings already, it has made my weekend. Thanks for loving what you do!! –– Patti Copps, Baltimore, MD 1 November 2007 Your jewelry looks great and it is different. ––Marge Love, Wheeling, IL 16 October 2007 I took the intro class earlier this month and I loved it. Thank you! –– Katherine Schultz, Chicago, IL 7 October 2007 Rebeca, I love your site - your designs are spectacular! To a novice mailler, you are quite an inspiration.

Your design gallery is very inspiring...I just wished I lived closer to be able to take advantage of your classes. –– Lynn, Underwood, IA 27 September 2007 Just wanted to let you know that I think your site is awesome. Incredible service!!! Your rings are fantastic! I felt like a kid at Christmas, not knowing what weave to start on first. I look forward to future orders and ideas. –– Libby Cooper, Louisville, KY 12 September 2007 I appreciate the extended variety of rings and gauges available. –– Patricia Wolff, Ann Arbor MI 29 August 2007 I just learned how to make chainmaille a few weeks ago, and I am so pumped to begin. But I am having a hard time finding the tools to make the rings, and the different patterns. I have learned bird cage, box, flat box, & persian. I look foward to buying many items from you (I luv the colored rings) to create my chainmaille. Thx. –– Brandie, Sydenham, ON Canada Rebeca replies: If you have questions before you place an order, just let me know. I'm happy to help you with any information I can. I know it can be confusing, with all the ring sizes and weave possibilities out there! 15 August 2007 Just a quick note to let you know the rings arrived yesterday. WOW that was quick...and they will be perfect. Thank you for a great product and wonderful customer service. –– Laurie B, Bremerton WA 15 August 2007 Awesome customer service! Speedy shipping! I just wanted to drop a quick note to compliment you on not only the quality of your rings but how quickly you fill the orders. I have ordered from you several times and I can count on a package arriving at my house within three days of my orders! It is always good to know that once I get an idea I can get the supplies and start working in a couple of days. Thank you! –– Susan P, Sterling VA 10 August 2007 I received my order yesterday - wow, that was super fast! I am very excited because I am going to be making my first Byzantine bracelet. I wanted to thank you for the exceptional service and the free sample! And your web site is amazingly helpful and informative - FAR BETTER than any of the other chain maille sites! Have a wonderful weekend! –– Michelle P, Stamford CT 13 July 2007 I just wanted to say 'WOW!' I took the beginning chainmaille class the other evening at Caravan Beads and loved it! It was so much fun. I immediately went home and went online and ordered chainmaille supplies. In literally less than 24 hours, I received my order. I just wanted to thank you for the fantastic customer service and the promptness of completing my order. Thank so much and I look forward to taking more classes and ordering more supplies! –– Pamela, Chicago IL 1 July 2007 I just wanted to thank you for the stellar service.

Thanks again! –– Leigh Beaumont, Metairie LA 19 June 2007 Great fast service and awesome kits. Wish I could have been at the Bead and Button Show so that I could have met you personally...

Thanks so much!!!! –– Karen, East Pittsburgh PA 16 March 2007 Your instructions are so clear and well-photographed that I could make beautiful chainmaille jewelry the first shot at it! I do believe I have been to every chain maille site there is out there, and I always come back to yours, cause it's like coming home. –– Nancy Sherman, Sparks NV 15 March 2007 The Maru was only my second attempt at chainmaille, the first being the Bulls-Eye earrings that I purchased from you also. I just love your kits; they are so clear and easy to follow. Can't wait for my order to get here. I am obsessed with this, as is my daughter. –– Jean F, Chicago IL 22 Feb 2007 Your rings are beautifully made and a joy to work with. The instructions I ordered were very clear, well thought out and easy to follow. Can't wait for the color rings to be available. Keep up the amazing work. –– Donna, Boulder CO 10 Feb 2007 Hi, I love your work, and you have a great website. I'd like to get down to IL for a class some day, too. Or, maybe you'd come to Madison some day! –– Nancy Stoebig, Madison WI Rebeca replies: I'd love to travel to other states for workshops. If you know of a good location to host a class, please let me know. (Plus, I'd love to go to WI as my Packers-mania isn't always well-received in Chicago, for, er, good reason. *wink*) 25 Jan 2007 Just wanted to drop a note to say how pleased (and amazed) I've been with the speediness of my orders. I also wanted to let you know that your bracelet kits, which I ordered previously, are great—meticulously packaged, clearly labeled, and with ample extra rings to accommadate klutzy beginners. The designs are also exceptional. I particularly like the way you use smaller rings at the ends for a more finished look. –– Elisa Eiger, Montville NJ 18 Jan 2007 WOW...I am glad I found your site. –– Ryan Montgomery, Woodstock IL 8 Jan 2007 I got the earrings promptly when you sent them, and have been enjoying those and the other earrings I purchased at the DIY trunk show tremendously! I get compliments on them every time I wear them. Thank you again for the custom order and for your lovely jewelry! –– Jen Small, Chicago IL 7 Nov 2006 Wow! Love the great response time and customer service! Thank you. –– Kathy Simmons, Seattle WA 26 Oct 2006 Love your website. –– Nancy, Sante Fe Springs CA 05 Oct 2006 Do you have any plans to make a kit for the Ripple necklace? It's definitely the boxchain weave, but soooooo much better. –– Marcia Gilbert, Noord, Aruba Rebeca's update 15 Feb 2007: Great suggestion! I've been working on kits in a few metals, and will get them posted soon. (Computer woes held me up, otherwise they would have been posted already!) 23 Sept 2006 The information on aspect ratio and ring sizing, inches mm etc is the best I've found. With it, I've finally got a grip on aspect ratio. Thanks so much. –– Karen Tande, Plover WI |
