200 pair of stainless steel ear wires. I wonder how many pairs of earrings I can make this weekend...

The last few nights I've been restocking chainmaile bags! The regular ones hold four (4) sets of dice. The stainless steel one is smaller and holds one (1) set of dice, OR five (5) sets of mini dice. And yes, they all work great for LARP! I used to keep my inhaler in my bag, hanging from my belt.
Working on restocking some earrings in advance of Halifax Celtic Festival next month!
I'd like to share the next few events on our calendar! Next up, Halifax Celtic Fest in May! And then Hal-Con's new and much anticipated Medieval Market! There is going to be SO MANY NEW PRETTIES! AND... also in June, ANOTHER new to us event with the Halifax Body Arts Convention!
Thank you to everyone who attended @dark.odd.artists and stopped by the booth!
Thank you to Brandon for such a wonderful event! I look forward to the next one!

Handcrafted chainmaille necklace made with spikes and crystal drops in a staggered pattern.
One of my goals for this year was to make more "statement" pieces, some subtle some not-so-subtle. This one is made with anodized aluminum rings, and stainless steel spikes/gem drops. Simple, elegant, pairs well with just about any outfit.
Cameo silhouette of skeleton bust, wrapped in sterling silver wire to make a pendant, sitting against amethyst.
I have a few new things in the works - but this one was too good not to share right away, literally just finished it.

Coffin shaped stone pendants wrapped with sterling silver
These coffin shaped cabochons are fun to work with! Each one is wrapped with sterling silver, and the design of each is one of a kind! The stones I currently have are Obsidian, and Dragon Bloodstone.

7 star shaped pendants made with chainmaille rings in various colours.
Building stock with this new design! It's Starry Night, another one of Kirk Nelson's from Brilliant Twisted Skulls. These anodized aluminum pendants are lightweight, and nickel free!

Chainmaille bracelet made with small rings and amethyst beads.
There are some designs that will always look better in person. The Namaste Tripoli is one such design! I've always loved this one, found in a book of weaves by Scott David Plumlee. These bracelets take almost 4 hours to make.
Cute spider earrings made with sterling silver wire and garnet beads
Would making these spider earrings be considered exposure therapy?
Sterling silver wire wrapped with garnet beads, these are kinda cute... OK, they're really cute.

Earrings made with stainless steel anatomical heart shaped charms and red beads, sitting next to a chunk of amethyst.
The anatomical heart charms finally arrived! I have two pairs of these earrings at the moment, with more hearts on the way. These hearts were matched with deep red Swarovski beads.

Pendant, 6 pointed star made of stainless steel chainmaille rings, sitting on a piece of amethyst

Ours actually prefer it when we add the water! He will eat practically anything, thankfully. She's more finicky, and will lap the "gravy", leaving the food. So we add more water when she walks away.
We also have two water fountains, one on each level, set away from their food station.
