Finally Gave This Unicorn His Horn.

Finally gave this unicorn his horn.

Blank-face screen mask. Inhuman, anonymous, vaguely sinister.

I want to do an even more concealing mask with this sort of mesh pattern. Maybe like a plague doctor mask that doesn’t even have an indication of eyes, just a giant blank beak.

If you have need of masks that remove your humanity, you can find it over on my Etsy page.

The leaves outside aren't turning quite yet where I am, but they're falling already in my workshop.

I was really happy with how the colors turned out on this one. The colors on these masks are more variable than most, since I mix the dyes custom to try to match real-life leaves, and then I paint them by hand.

They're available over on my Etsy!                                    

Decided to subtly improve this codpiece design. I decided it was a bit too flat, and needed to curve to hug the hips better, and it needed a bit bigger of a bulge for obvious reasons. Updated version first, previous iteration second.

I’d originally designed this one physically, though. I’d traced the pattern geometry into CAD to laser cut, but it turns out that (as best I can tell) reconstructing a 3D form from its flattened geometry is an unsolved problem. So what I thought would be a quick edit turned into rebuilding it from the ground up.

I’m pretty happy with the update, but I think I got only about halfway to where I wanted it. Gotta pump the curvature up a bit more again still. Should be faster to make the tweaks next time though.

4 oz vegetable-tanned leather, designed by me, cut with a laser, then dyed gold and assembled by hand.

Chainmail price adjustment incoming

I just ordered like a year's worth of chainmail supplies and woof, some of the prices went up a bunch in the last year. On top of that, I'm finally caving and switching to more expensive saw-cut rings for a lot of products. (I got a whole rant on that, I actually used to prefer the machine-cut rings, but I think the quality slipped in recent years, and now it takes a lot more care and time to close rings so they're not scratchy, but before that quality change they shit I gotta stop the rant now.)

Upshot is, I'll need to adjust a bunch of my prices soon, so order now to get stuff at old pricing.

Good news is I stocked a good set of colors in a new ring size, so I'll have some fun new stuff coming down in the next few weeks.

An oldie but a classic. I think this was my first mask that was designed to fit with glasses. I really like the shape of the big sideburns, though I'm thinking about updating the texture details along the edge.
