I’m ready for Spring, dammit
Happens every year, ‘round this time. Usually in February, so maybe I’m a little early this time. The holidays are over, we only have one more coming up, in February, President’s Day, which is no big thrill but it’s a three-day weekend. So there’s nothing really to look forward to now except for Spring, and…

Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
There’s a reason we reach for certain pieces when we need to feel grounded, brave, or a little more ourselves. Jewelry has always been more than decoration. It’s a signal, a story, a shield. And for many of us, Chainmaille is the closest thing we have to modern armor. We don’t expect battle, but we…
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklace—three lush shades of green, held together with larger silver rings—might seem bold at first glance. It’s intricate, significant, unapologetically present. And yet, on her, it doesn’t overwhelm. It enhances. There’s a quiet confidence in choosing a piece that others might call “too big.” But what does that even mean? Too bold…
Chainmaille in the Steampunk World
We’ve been told more than once that “chainmaille has no place in the Steampunk realm.” That line usually comes right after Steampunk cosplayers encourage us to apply. They love our work. It comes right before the event organizers reject us. We’ve heard similar things from Renaissance Fairs, too. Our colors aren’t “period enough,” our booth…
