Played around with some tiny metal beads and some smaller rings to create a smaller version of my ribbon earrings. They’re cute! #chainmail #jewelry #handmade

The 75ml bottle of Diamine 160th Anniversary Ink really has the heft of a small brick. I forget how heavy it is because it doesn’t have the width of the Pilot Iroshizuku bottles, for example, but it’s a stout bottle all by itself.

Oh. Ohhhhh I like this. I think a 24mm macro lens is about to become my best photography friend. #chainmail #jewelry

My latest finished commission is a trans pride bracelet. Truly, I love making these. #pride #chainmail

I made the video. I don’t hate it, so I’m running with this. (Also, voice reveal, I suppose?)
Seriously, though, this is important because once I make a bracelet it is sized. I want people to be able to wear a commissioned piece from the moment it arrives. #chainmail #jewelry

I love Pennonia ink bottles because they’re solid, heft pieces of glass. It’s like the polar opposite of a Robert Oster bottle. The color is very pretty, too.

I’m always in favor of backgrounds that aren’t plain white. It’s why I used a light tan fabric with a sheening finish for mine.

The janky photo setup worked! I think I need to get a 40mm macro lens with an autofocus, but I’m making this work for now. #jewelry #chainmail

I have a softbox I bought more than 10 years ago when I started out shooting jewelry. It wasn’t cooperating.
I opened the blinds, stuck a piece of paper over my desk lamp, and started taking photos. I’ll edit them in 20 minutes and I hope they’re good.
Felt janky, but if it works it works.

For example, this looked acceptable on the camera monitor and it’s okay here or on my phone, but on a computer monitor the focus is all out of wack.
However, I got some decent shots and it’s all For The Aesthetic on the website anyway. #jewelry #chainmail

It’s my group of queer friends, queer writer comrades, and the stationery community. I got to see friends at the writers conference a couple of weeks ago and it helped me feel better. I had dinner with a friend last night and it was great. And y’all on here are great. Thank you!

Oh the things we do in the fountain pen hobby.
The ink level in the bottle was too low for the nib, or just the converter, to draw anything. I got out my Inkmeiser and a blunt syringe to ink my new pen. I don’t like syringe-filling a converter because then the nib isn’t primed. So I did this.

I made this bracelet last week and I’ve fallen so in love with this weave that I just spent another $100 on rings so I can make more in different colors.
I’ve got so many beads I’m comping at the bit to use. This is exciting!! #jewelry #chainmail

I’m revising the first four chapters of my novella, True Hate’s First Kiss, today and I’m using a Jinhao 92 inked with Sailor Irori.
The 92 is a Graf von Faber-Castell knockoff that’s the closest I’ll get to the Bentley pens. The EF nib is nail-hard, which I love, and Irori is a lovely warm red.

New fountain pen day! It’s a Ranga Zayante from Peyton Street pens in a gorgeous blue, grey, and black ebonite. This has a cursive smooth italic medium nib, and I love it. I’ve never used a smooth italic before and this won’t be my last.

It took me longer than expected to make this lesbian pride earring and bracelet set in a Byzantine weave, but I’m really happy with the results. It’s pretty! I like using these 7/32” 16 SWG rings for the Byzantine weave because it’s pleasingly chonky. #chainmail #jewelry #handmade

Went to a Kinokuniya yesterday with a friend and bought a pink Kakuno for my Con-70. The converter actually works pretty well and can hold ink. [insert dramatic gasp] This M stainless steel nib sounds like a Sailor nib when I write, and I love that. The smiley face is cute, too, it must be said.

Part of the fun, for me, with chainmail is figuring out patterns in different weaves. A friend asked me to make an ace pride necklace for her sister. At first I had the idea to make it with a Byzantine weave, but then decided box weave was better.
