My gorgeous customer in her custom Scalemail top and belt.

Arm piece by another artist. I love these mirrored scale. I had never worked with them before so I was excited she requested it!

Normal?

Is it normal to feel an immense amount of rage when you’re beginning? 😂 I keep making the mistake of going “oh this one looks easy enough” and then being so humbled in 30 seconds flat.

Day collar nearly done.

5/16” stainless steel, 16swg.
4-in-1 half Persian.
Probably 20ish more rings and the clasp, as we want it to sit inside a T-shirt.

Vertebrae-looking weaves

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a weave that I could use to make something that somewhat resembles a spinal column / vertebrae (but not the vertebrae weave lol). I'd like to make a choker that extends down the back. Any help or ideas is much appreciated 🫶. Picture attached as inspiration

Closing small thick rings 4-in-1

I’ve started making finger rings and I love the first one I made so I’ve started a new one with a different design and im literally almost done. I’m using the exact same rings and design for the back but for some reason god has suddenly sacrificed my ability to close these rings when I try to add more to continue it. I’ve been sitting here for 30 mins crashing out because the unit keeps flying across the room when I try to close them because I have to use so much pressure. I have no idea how I even did this before like could not tell you but I really want to finish this ring. Has anyone gone through something similar ughhhhgggg 😭

Added more chain to my epaulettes

Here it is. Finished, with another piece underneath. I think they work well together. Might be too much. Thoughts?

UK jump ring suppliers

Looking for jump rings, I know wraithmaile but all the ones I was gonna get are sold out in anodized aluminium. I was then looking into the stainless steel but they’re not tumbled - is that a problem or is that fine to work with? I don’t have equipment to tumble it myself and am going to make jewellery.
Any advice appreciated!
