New BETTER earring pics! This isn’t the finalized set-up, but it’s better than I had before! These are some new styles I’ve been trying, now that I’ve got more scales in more sizes, and I’m super excited for how they’ve been turning out!

The earrings are all made from three sizes of scale, layering the smallest on top of the middle, on top of the largest, assembled with rings and earring hooks in matching colours. Clockwise from the top left, listing colours from small to large scales, they are: gold, blue, and red; orange, black, and silver; bronze, silver, and gold; and purple, black, and orange (to evoke a Halloween look).

Did you know that I make belts? I’ve been focusing a lot more on chainmail than leather lately, but for TBT here’s belts I made for my wife and I back just before the pandemic. They’re pretty simple, but there’s some cute details for both of us. 😊

#leathercraft #belt #ThrowbackThursday #rose #zelda
My hand holding two black leather belts, rolled up and showing the buckles, one with gold hardware, the other with silver. This is an old picture, taken before I knew what I was doing (not that I do now), so the lighting is terrible. My hand holding two black leather belts, rolled up and positioned to show the hardware and also the other ends, which have been decorated with tooling. The lighting is once again terrible, due to being an old photo taken before I had any idea what I was doing, but you can just see that the belt with the silver buckle is stamped with a rose at the end, while the belt with the golden buckle is tooled to resemble to Triforce at the end. A close up of the end of the black leather belt I made for my wife. The end is tapered to a slightly rounded point, tooled with a thin groove following the shape of the belt, and there is a rose blossom stamped into the point. A close up of the end of the black leather belt I made for myself. The end is cut into a sharp triangular point tooled in the shape of the Triforce from Legend of Zelda. The body of the belt has a thin groove following the edges in until the Triforce, and the holes for the buckle have leaves stamped in between them.

These reversible Japanese 12-in-2 cuffs have been very popular, so here’s another! I’ve got more coming up, including a commission that I’m really excited for! Can’t wait to show you the concept behind that one!

Here are some bracelets I’ve made recently in a pattern called Barrel Weave. It’s a delicate weave, I’m always a little nervous about the single rings connecting the barrel segments, but it’s a pretty one!

First post in December, time to show off my Christmas ornaments! These little scale flowers actually can be ornaments, pendants, or all sorts of decorations, but I wanted to start making them for the season specifically.
1/2

#chainmail #scalemail #flowers #ornaments #christmas
A collection of Scale Mail flowers in various colours and several sizes, to be detailed in the following photos. The flowers are five scale “petals”, each joined by rings to form somewhat rigid structures. They can be used as ornaments or pendants, but these ones are all just sitting in a cluster on a neutral fabric background. Five Scale Mail flowers, intended for use as holiday ornaments or pendants. These are the smallest size, made from small scales and several sizes of 18 gauge rings, each having five petals. The ones in this photo are, from top to bottom: blue scales connected by gold rings; black scales connected by blue, sky blue and silver rings; orange scales connected by black and gold rings; gold scales connected by blue rings; and red scales connected by green rings. All arranged in a cluster on a neutral fabric background. Two Scale Mail flowers, intended for use as holiday ornaments and pendants. This is my second size, the larger of the single layer flowers. Each is made from five large scales connected by 16 and 18 gauge rings. The first is made from red scales connected by black rings, the second is made from gold scales connected by gold and silver rings, meant to evoke a holiday star. They are sitting together on a neutral fabric background. Three scale Mail flowers, intended for use as holiday ornaments and pendants. These are double layered flowers, made from two large and small scales layered, all connected by 16 and 18 gauge rings. One is made from purple large scales and pink small scales, connected by pink, silver and purple rings. The other two, meant to evoke snowflakes, are made from silver large scales and blue small scales, connected by silver and pale blue rings. They are all clustered on a neutral fabric background.

New dragonscale cuff! This is the one I posted progress pics of last week. I finished it the next day, but I’m a little behind on photos. :P Also, as I said before, I’ve been having fun trying to make colour gradients lately!

New hand flower made from the Celtic Star I did previously! I’m really happy with how this turned out, and with some new rings on the way, I’ll be able to do this one in many more colours too!

A chainmail hand-flower bracelet, made from anodized aluminum rings in silver, purple and black. A five point Celtic star is the centrepiece, laying with a point straight back towards the wrist. That and the two adjacent points are connected by fine chains to a wide bracelet in the European 4-in-1 style, while the final two points have matching chains forming loops that go around the index and ring fingers. Modelled by myself against a neutral cloth background. A side view of the hand-flower bracelet described in the previous photo, showing how the bracelet lays flat against the back of the hand. Modelled by myself in front of a neutral cloth background. A palm-view of my hand while wearing the bracelet from the previous two photos. The two finger loops around the index and ring fingers can be seen, as well as the ends of the European 4-in-1 bracelet showing the clasp and stainless steel size-adjustment rings. Modelled by myself on a neutral cloth background. The Celtic star hand-flower bracelet from the previous photos, lying by itself on a neutral cloth background to show the construction. Unclasped, the bracelet lies flat, showing the chains connecting the Celtic star to the bracelet, and also the full two finger loops at the top.

Yesterday “Toof Jr” found a forever home with Spencer, and was named for their D&D character! 😊 There’s only one dragon left from my original clutch, but I’ve got some eggs that I’m pretty sure are close to hatching! 😉

I had something planned for a Throwback Thursday, but then I realized that today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, so let’s just take a moment to remember those lost to anti-trans violence and transphobia.

Today for WiP Wednesday, I decided to show some of the process of making those Dragonscale chain cuffs. Like many weaves, Dragonscale is most difficult at the beginning, where you’re trying to keep a bunch of loose rings straight.
1/?

#chainmail #jewellery #dragonscale #cuffbracelet #wipwednesday
My work table with several sets of mailing pliers, loose rings, and a barely started piece of chainmail (also my drink, the fabric pouch I keep my pliers in, and a chip clip). The chainmail is the beginning of a cuff in the Dragonscale weave, and shows that at this early stage, the rings are loose and dangly, making them difficult to work with, as they tend to flop around when you pick up the piece to add to it. A picture of the same table as before, showing mailing pliers, loose rings and a chainmail cuff in the early stages, with the chainmail piece slight more complete than the previous picture. The Dragonscale weave is starting to hold its shape a bit better, but many rings are still quite loose and dangly, making them difficult to add to.

I like playing with keychains, making flags and simple fun references. The Canada Flag and Pokeball are two popular ones (who’s surprised 😆), so I’ve made some replacements, but I really need to just have a bunch on standby.

The Celtic Visions bracelets have been very popular! I sold out of all but my larger one at the last show, so I made these replacements. I feel like I’m gonna be doing a lot of these. Good thing they’re fun and use ring sizes that I have loads of!

More Dragonscale cuffs! I really like this design, and want to make more! The silver/blue one (which I’ve been calling “Frost Deagon”) has already sold! My next one is going to experiment with more colours, hopefully in a sort of gradient.

Based on some folks’ suggestions, I have taken the joke even further, and now if you adopt one of my keychain dragons, you need to name it (adoption certificate cards are coming). So, I’m pleased to announce that “Jellybean”…
