Question

Answer
Hello Amy,
CGM findings has a wide assortment of chain types including some new ones that  i'm afraid you have fallen for. Rio Grande  may have it, and  Fire Mountain gems may have it  but its not worth their asking price..so If you  can't get it from CGM, write back and I'll start searching ..try typing in a search for chain by the foot and see if one of the resultant  hits  carries it or  just search using "Creative Commons" as the search engine, for  that  style  chain: (i.e.- 14/20 Fishbone chain..)it is a search engine  designed for craftspeople so  it may narrow down what google or  any other may find a bit..I personally haven't encountered it..Cuttlefish bone  chain yes..fishbone- no..Rio Grande just introduced cuttlefish bone chain last year to their catalogue..it's pricey though and  -please!! someone made a mould of a cuttlefish link and is casting from that- they  incinuate that each link or piece is cast from an individual bone- no one could supply them that many  successful pours and deliver on time daily to fill orders..so if its cuttlefishbone chain, Rio Grande is the source..other than that..
I'll look around too..but do your homework  first and search for it  on creative commons..but do try CGM..first
best regards,Ari
