Any thoughts on this choker?
A chainmail choker, mint and seafoam GSG on either side of a B^2 +1 “flower” in pink and purple. It lays on a wood grain table, with a silver barrel clasp holding it together.

Ever thought that one set of dice (or one die itself!) deserved its own pouch? Or do you have a lot of mini dice that need an equally mini bag?
A small chainmail dice bag, filled and sealed, sitting on a white windowsill. The pouch is striped; from bottom to top, purple, royal blue, sky blue, and silver. The cord and cord lock are black, and the charm at the end of the cord has the same colors in order, though with black against the purple. A large blue D20 sits in front of the pouch.

You are seen, you exist, and I will do what I can to support you, regardless of what legislation says.
A chainmail keychain, Jens Pind Linkage 5, in a rough approximation of a five-color lesbian pride flag. A pair of scale earrings, tipped with blunt silver spikes, in the sky blue/pink/silver/pink/sky blue of the trans pride flag. Two pairs of chainmail earrings, in the sky blue/pink/silver/pink/sky blue of the trans pride flag. Both in 2-2 chain; one with grey connectors, one with blue connectors. An assortment of chainmail bracelets and earrings. Two are in GSG weave with a rainbow pattern, ended with a frost section next to the red and a black section next to the purple. The third bracelet is in Half-Persian 4-1, featuring the pink/purple/blue of the bi pride flag. The earrings are a double spiral, tipped with blunt silver spikes, in an icicle-like blue to silver fade.

Some inlays. I’ve learned that chainmail inlays are a lot like pixel art. Using multiple similar ring colors can give a nice 3D effect; just look at the red/pink/orange in Samus’s helmet and the two tones of green in the visor.
Two chainmail inlay patches, both with black ring borders. The top features a red helmet with a green visor, shade and light giving a 3D look. This is the helmet of Samus Aran, the bounty hunter from the Metroid series. The bottom has one of the titular Metroids, a green jellyfish-like creature with three red nuclei and yellow fangs at the bottom.

*poke poke*

I guess this is still here.

Um… enjoy some chainmail for the moment.
A stainless steel chainmail keychain, a segment of Vertebrae weave. It’s been clipped and dangled from the front pocket of a blue cloth lunch box. A pair of chainmail earrings, whirlybird weave in purple over white, dangling from blue chains. They’re currently lying on a wood-tone table. An assortment of chainmail dice bags on a black shelf. The front row, left to right, all laying flat: a three-panel bag, green with the gold and black triangle of the Triforce showing; rainbow stripes, from red down to purple, the bottom playing off the purple to do an Ace bullseye (silver/grey/black); and a plain bright aluminum bag. The back row, filled and partially offscreen: a sky blue and orange/red bag, intended to look like a camp fire; another bright aluminum bag, tipped forward and slightly open to reveal various dice; and a pink and lavender bag with long vertical diamond patterns. Two sets of chainmail earrings on a black display, both based on European 4 in 1 variants: a set of inverted teardrops, pulled together at the top, in blue; and a set of spider webs, hanging the “wrong way” and folded in alternating rows before being pulled together, in black. The display sits on a black shelf, an assortment of other earrings laying down out of focus in the background.
