working in a new gauge and these rings are so tiny and easy to bend that I fully tore one in half 😵‍💫

I built my mask from a @palaeosinensis.com pattern and you can too! super straightforward process, detailed instructions, and a great little community of mask makers with even more tips and tricks. highly recommend for other DIY-ers, from scene to 'ween.

diy pony kit in context. it's very fun to wear all together!

fun fact, the mask is padded with leftover skate helmet foam 🛹✨

added a rock to my setup so the plate stops blowing away and dumping rings all over my porch

here's what a month of personal work looks like when you have cubital tunnel, a commission queue, and a day job that's imploding in slow motion

my comfortable single-sitting ring count has stayed remarkably steady over time. as my technique and form have improved, the main difference has been how *often* I can sit down to weave. (shoutout to my several RSIs)

startled to find that doing this righty is in fact both easier and faster! thank you to Aussie Maille for setting me straight 🖤

I've been making chainmail for a year and a half, and I was today years old when I found out that I've been inadvertently weaving lefty and disadvantaging my dominant hand this WHOLE TIME 🫠

first-ever continuous chain (half Persian 3-in-1) for this swampy earthy goblincore commission in anodized aluminum and EPDM rubber 🐊🌟

(will give it a wash to get the scuzz off the rubber before final pics)

box weave my beloved...

(really zooming along today, these 5/16" 16swg rings move like butter compared to the 27/128")
