Woah
So pretty
F in chat for shortest father run.
Hi all! After one of the busiest months yet, I finally have some time to share a few images of my most recent creations with you. :)
I’m really excited to continue making new designs with the dragon scale pattern, and can’t wait to share some new themed designs with all of you here soon.
Wishing you and your families all the best during these uncertain times.
I look forward to days when we’ll all be able to go out questing together safely again. ❤️
Until then all my love to you, and may you be in good health.

Cory Michael just in from the beach
I wanted to make a straightforward dice bag out of scales. I made one once before as a commission (the last 4 photos), but it had some specific details that not everyone would have gone for. (The commissioner wanted it to look like a serpent was spiraling around the bag.)
The design is a pretty comfortable size I think. It fits nicely in the hand, it holds about 20 dice, and you can get your hand into it without problems. The normal chainmail dice bag I've sold a few of is a bit smaller, and I feel that size is a bit less satisfying. But any bigger than this and I think it would start feeling like it was maybe too big. So I'm happy with this size.
Rather than pointing down away from the opening, the scales face horizontally and spiral around the pouch. This is to allow it to close more easily; the chainmail weave with the scales in it is easily collapsed in this direction. If it was done with them pointing away from the opening, the bag really wouldn't be able to sinch up properly.
Scales and rings are stainless steel. (The one below has details in bronze.) I plan on making some number more of these to sell at a convention full of LARPers that I'll be vending at in late February. I'll also post them up for sale online shortly, but first I need to take a few more nice photos and set a price.
Actually two separate codpieces that got ordered in quick succession. This is my more straightforward and simple design, and it’s made with a very nicely finished leather with a very consistent semi-gloss surface.
For the most recent one, I went and made some adjustments to the straps that probably nobody but me would ever notice. Fixed the spacing on some of the rivet holes, and tweaked the lengths of the straps with the buckle holes in them. And since the straps are modular and I use the same pattern on all my codpieces, it’s a fix that’ll carry through all of them.
Maybe you want one for yourself?
Lesbian Dragon Dice Bag
A scale mail pouch made for a friend of mine, in the closest approximation I could reasonably do to the Lesbian Pride Flag colors. (All those subtle pastel shades are real hard to match when you're not mixing paints yourself.)
I like running the scales along the circumference of these bags. Pointing them vertically down from the opening is more common, but I find this orientation means it cinches open and closed much more comfortably.
Anodized aluminum scales, woven together with stainless steel rings, closed with nylon cord and a stopper. For size comparison, when opened this one fit 3 fingers side by side through the mouth.
I don't currently have these dice bags up as a standard option on my Etsy store, but if you'd like something like this, feel free to drop me a note!
