A Preview…Part II

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

Part II of my pre­view, fea­tur­ing works other than chainmaille.

bottom whorl drop spindles

Bot­tom whorl drop spindles: green & white and black & white decorations.

Hand made and painted with my sig­na­ture line­work. These are great for someone just get­ting star­ted with spinning.

hand spun corriedale and merino

drop spindle spun nat­ural cor­riedale and hand dyed merino.

The cor­riedale will be plied later on with some other rov­ing I’m work­ing on. The green merino was from Fleece Artist.

prayer beads

Earth & nature inspired prayer bead set.

A simple yet strik­ing set of prayer beads with an earthen theme. Fea­tures hem­at­ite, tur­quoise, moss agate, and tiger’s eye.

There’s still more to come: brace­lets, book­marks, more neck­laces and hair sticks. Rechar­ging the cam­era batteries…

A Prieview…Part I

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

The fol­low­ing are some of the fin­ished works that I will have avail­able for sale this sum­mer. More pho­tos to come soon!

Bronze Byzantine Chainmaille Necklace

16″ Bronze byz­antine chain­maille necklace.

A more tra­di­tional metal with a rich col­our and decent heft. I con­sider it a unique altern­at­ive to a torc.

Black Stainless & Sterling Silver Byzantine Necklace

16″ Blackened stain­less steel and ster­ling sil­ver byz­antine necklace.

The blackened stain­less steel on this changes with time and wear. It goes from its matte black fin­ish to a gor­geous dark shine that com­pli­ments the sil­ver beautifully.

Anodized Aluminum Byzantine Necklace

16″ anod­ized alu­minum byz­antine necklaces.

These are avail­able in a num­ber of col­ours. They are nice and light weight.

Wooden Hairsticks With Chain & Scalemaille Embelishments

Wooden hair sticks with chain & scale­maille embellishments.

These two hair sticks, capped with hem­at­ite beads, fea­ture light weight alu­minum byz­antine chain­maille and anod­ized alu­minum scales.

Part II of the pre­view will be up shortly. It will fea­ture some more chain­maille, some bead work, some spin­ning, and a few other things.

Redoing the site (again) and summer plans.

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

Once again I’ve begun to over­haul the web­site. My intent this time around is to use the site to dis­play and dis­cuss the chain­maille, weav­ing, spin­ning, knit­ting, and other art that I am cre­at­ing as well as show­cas­ing com­pleted works that I am mak­ing avail­able for purchase.

I will be selling my cre­ations this sum­mer at Three Rivers Fest­ival , a week­end camp­ing fest­ival for the ADF Canada East region but open to all who are inter­ested. I may also have some items avail­able through the ADF Regalia store at Well­spring, which I will also be attend­ing,  but I have not yet final­ised my decision on that yet. After I’m back from the fests I will begin to make my cre­ations avail­able for pur­chase online for those who are interested.
