LuLu
Anyone else having issues with POD service LuLu? I think they’re going tits up right before my eyes – and it’s impossible to reach anyone there for help. They go out of their way as a company to hide from their customers and avoid any and all customer service or help functions. More later .…

On account of the Boobies
I hate heat waves. Granted, I’m not on the East Coast, and I’m sure as hell not in Arizona, but we’re having our own little heat wave up here. Yesterday it was 94, today’s hovering around 96, tomorrow should be 94 again, with a slow decline through the weekend back to our typical – and…

This, That ‘n the Other
I just saw a Youtube video of several mothers letting their children play on the beach covered in tar balls. But it was “okay” because they brought some Goo Gone, to clean up afterwards. Can someone say Darwin Award? I’ve recently discovered I cannot chew gum and hand write fiction at the same time. Sounds…

Rainy Day Adventures
It’s hard to believe someone who was born and raised here in the Pacific Northwet can be affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder, but when you’re nearly through the coldest, wettest June on record and already feeling some frustrations about other, non-weather related things, even the sturdiest of us can get a tad bummed. Normally in…
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…
