This is a beautiful sword! Check out @archangelsteel.bsky.social for your Christmas needs!
A customer of ours got his wife a Maleficent Short Sword.
Women love sharp, shiny, pointy, stabby things too. 😉🗡️
Get your wife a sword.

Steve made this custom Paladin sheath & frog for a customer and then modeled it for me, but he wasn't wearing a belt, so...
I got him to pirouette! So graceful.
🩰 🦢 Think he needs a pair of steel-toed ballet slippers.
"Dagsbrún" is an old Icelandic word for daybreak or the first ray of daylight.

Some people have asked me how I did the metal engravings on my armor. I used a Cricut vinyl cutter and applied to the metal then used electro etching (salt bath and a powersource). #crafting #art #fantasyart #armor #larp #renfaire #ttrpg #dnd

This is an awesome sheath. I love the Dagsbrun name across it and the awesome symbol near the tip. #larp #renfaire #dnd #dnd5e #fantasyart

Random Thought: I love Cosplay, but when I see how much work people put into it, I wonder "Why don't they just make it real, rather than foam and glue, etc.?" I had never done metal armor until recently and I was shocked at how easy it was and took very few tools. Same with Leather. #cosplay

I made this armor set years ago for my son. It was one of the first sets I made. I was essentially starting from scratch. Its made of a much lighter leather (6oz I think) than what I use today. #ttrpg #larp #renfaire #dnd #dnd5e #pathfinder #crafting #leathercraft #fantasyart

I'm loving this Gladius! I'd love to build a scabbard for this one day. Its gorgious.

This is a cutlass dagger I picked up a few years ago for my son. He wanted a pirate themed dagger! I rewrapped the handle with red and then built this sheath for it. #art

If you guys like the type of work I do... I would also follow @archangelsteel.bsky.social , they make some great weapons!
This was our workshop in July, as we were readying to fill our shop at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Apparently, Bluesky crops videos that aren't square. Hmmm.

From this past weekend's local in-person art fair - a new customer with a new hat and my sterling silver arrow hat band - they looked amazing. So thankful for my customers! All pieces made by hand, one at a time.

So I was disappointed when the Wizkids Eye & Hand of Vecna was about to release. I just thought it wasn't done well. So I had to try and do it better.

It now sits on my desk and watches me work. Lukcily, the glass dome is embued with heavy magic to keep me safe

Tariffs are potentially devastating for tabletop games. Especially board games, for which no manufacturing options exist in the US. Even if the US spent a decade or two ramping up facilities, the raw materials (such as plastics) would still need to be imported.

This is a sheath I did for a dagger a few years ago. The straps on it are for securing it to a belt, or your leg, etc. #art #fantasyart #ttrpg #dagger #dnd
