I leaned into armor and pride this year, and want to keep expanding in those directions in years to come 💜
Here's to many more fantastical creations in the coming years 🍻

Finished one of these yesterday and loved it so much I've already made a second one 😅
Also spent time taking and editing photos (my biggest hate) and getting more stuff listed on my Etsy

Two custom chainmaille bracelets I finished last night for a friend. The tiny rings can be annoying but they make such awesome pieces 💜

A little look at the work I put into making a bracelet.
I love making chainmille, but it takes time and precision to make each piece. I use a magnifying glass with a light and run my fingers over every closure to make sure it is 100% flush. Can't have it snag on anything!

Slowly but surely adding listings to my #Etsy including these two bear pride chainmaille bracelets and this kinetics weave necklace.
I have so many pieces to take pictures of, it's actually quite daunting to think about...

Had a day surgery this morning, and slept most of the afternoon.
But now I'm working on some more dice bags, because I got quite low this show season 😅

Don't mind my messy work space, my chaos is creative 🤣 (at least that's what I tell myself)

Coming up on the last shows of this year, and oh jeez, am I ready for it.
Meanwhile I'll be set up the next 3 weekends in a row. Meanwhile I'm trying my hand with some new pretties, like these two necklaces 😍

Spending my last free weekend before three weekends of shows MAKING!
These are just some of the bracelets I'm working on restocking - hoping to get some necklaces, dice captures and maybe even some armor done by the end of the weekend 🤞

Sometimes a magnifying glass is required - because DAYUM are these rings tiny!
People consistently ask me how I have the patience to work with chainmail, but it's so relaxing to me 💜
