Yeah it was a fairly delicate piece. I think the behavior of Helm Chain lends itself well to weaving, as it's nice and neat with no floppy/loose links, and it also prefers to only bend one direction and not the other (like a bicycle chain), so it lays flat pretty well. I had tried to make a bracelet out of the exact same design, but it wouldn't lay against the skin because it wanted to bend the other direction. So this only works if you're making a flat piece, or something with a gradual enough curve that the Helm Chain can bend to it (like a necklace or belt).
