Starting the face piece

Now that the cap is finished, I am starting to work on the face piece as it is referred to.  The face piece goes from one ear, behind the head to the other ear.  Leaving the face exposed.

I think that the best was to do this is to use the 4-in-1 method, and just build a large rectangular sheet of chain maille, then connect it to the cap piece.

I am thinking I might add one string of 4-in-1's along the bottom of the cap piece to give reference to how long of a rectangle I need.  If I can count the number of 4-in-1's in the string at the bottom of the cap, I can easily make the rectangle that same size then just attach it once it is done.

For a start I attached seven 4-in-1's together.  I was able to make seven small strips, with seven 4-in-1's in each strip.

 

I am thinking that I will connect all these small strips together and add then to the bottom of the cap for reference length.  

This is that last of my rings.  I had finished cutting all the coils I had made, and have not officially used up all the rings made from my 200 feet of wire.  Tomorrow I will try to get to the store and buy some more wire, and continue the work.
