Playing around with different sized scales.

They make a wonderfully wavy line when connected together.

Something different from my usual jewelry but the turtle turned out so absolutely adorable that it might kickstart a new menagerie.

I don't know what I'm going as for Halloween, but I do know that I'm wearing this!

I've always wanted to make a Mimic. The surprise/trap was always the best thing so I wanted to keep the treasure chest shape when closed and then teeth when open. This is version 2 and still some alignment issues on the sides but overall, I am happy with this. Teeth are hard.

Exploring Shippo Tsunagi variations. Such a versatile weave and absolutely beautiful with rivolis.

This may be the favorite thing I've ever made. It turned out better than I expected! Inspired by kanzashi flowers hairpins and copious amounts of C-drama costumes, this hairpin was supposed to be for Lunar New Year (which I missed by a wide margin). I'm definitely wearing it next year.

Modifying the triple layer scale flower design for small/petite/and tiny scales. The beads are wired in and the back of the hairpin is a mess. Working with wire was much harder than I expected.

I am ecstatic to finally reveal the Chainmail Dragon Egg Tutorial. This design took a year to develop, test, and write but it is everything I imagined. If you ever wanted to make a self standing dragon egg, this is for you!

While the Chainmaille (Xenomorph) Egg tutorial is being beta tested, I finally have the time to finish a project that's been in queue for quite a while.

Behold the structural D20 dice bag (to hold your D20s). The numbers are in binary with the colored gem pointing up for orientation. Blacks are 1 and Clear are 0.

I was asked to teach a class at MakeHaven in October so I whipped up these pumpkins. SIgn ups are a little low but I still find these pumpkins adorable. I love how the stem stands up.

Tutorial can be found on my Etsy page.

A while ago, I was trying to come up with new products for a gaming store and wanted to make a bracelet. The standard sized dice were too chunky as a bracelet but the mini dice were perfect. I like that the dice all flow in the same direction and are stable enough not to shift around.
