they are pretty accurate reflections of the ones who bear them, my cat hate cats and hera the dog is super jealous about anyone getting attention that is not her

it is ok, i probs should be getting off, i am getting a headache XD

Got a mandala done. xD

Yay! I bet it looks awesome!

Turns out I had about 7 pages when I thought I had ten... but I have 10 now!

That's pretty awesome.
Quick progress!

I am having trouble making decisions. xD

Bleh. I feel like I need a gofundme for my craft supplies...because there's a lot of things I want to try making, but they're kind of experimental and I don't have the money for everything I would need...

what would you offer to contributors to get them to give you the money?

Hmmm...well donation rewards are not required, but I could offer a choice of chainmaille jewelry or loom knit stuffed dragon. Both would mostly fit the theme of what I want to raise funds for, which would be a loom knit scalemaille blanket. (Which should cost approximately between $400-$500 in supplies.)

Of course this is just a hypothetical never gonna happen situation because I don't like to ask people for money for anything.

ah, fair enough XD well, could you offer it as a buyable with the caveat that you will only charge the cost of materials if they accept they may get a subpar item?

Honestly, the blanket is something experimental that I kind of just want to make for myself anyway. If it isn't too heavy, I might consider making them to sell, though, even just charging cost of supplies, I doubt anyone is going to pay $400-500 for a blanket.

if it was a quilt i would disagree but with chainmail you may have a point XD it'd certainly be too heavy to actually use and too difficult to keep clean unless it was kept put away which defeats the purpose of having it

Oh, it really wouldn't be that difficult to keep clean. I mean the scales can be wiped clean and the backside is yarn. In theory, the blanket could be thrown in the wash on the gentle cycle. Though the weight in that situation might be an issue. But water wouldn't hurt the sxales.
And knitted scale mail is lighter than regular because the scales are less dense and are held together with yarn and not metal rings, so I don't really think it will be too heavy to use.

OH! I finished the painting ("")


I still have a strong desire to repaint this in either acrylic or watercolor, I feel like it would come out more realistic. At the same time I appreciate it looking original?
It feels super silky soft XD
2nd picture was before I sprayed a matte finish on it.

ah, i have never seen mailchain knitted together before so i have no idea how that works XD


congrats<3<3 i am a fan of poppies so it has my approval XD
