This weekend you’ll find me at TWO markets! Tomorrow I’ll be at Wandering Souls — which is also MY BIRTHDAY! (So come and wish me a happy one!) And then Saturday night I’ll be vending at QUEER PROM! Both in Calgary, come on down! I’ve still got a lot of gay swords and other #chainmail #lgbtq #yyc

Sooo… does anyone know what I can do with over 100 old business cards? Are they all doomed for recycling, or is there a clever craft I can use these for? (New double sided cards on top, old ones on the bottom). Old cards lead to an Etsy I no longer have.

Some new goodies arrived just before my birthday! Check it out! I treated myself to a custom hat and stamp along with new business cards!

Yesterday went great! I made a lot of sales — looks like I’ve got a lot more stealth swords to make for the next event! Here’s some pics of my table, excuse my tired mug, I had to wake up early for this. #lgbtq #chainmail

Punk Rock Flea Market is tomorrow! Come and find me up at the Thorncliffe Greenview Community Centre tomorrow (if you’re in Calgary!)

Find me as a last minute vendor at the LAST Slutty Social Dungeon Show happening THIS THURSDAY at Dickens Pub in Calgary! Tix at the door. Support local queers! Many folks putting this on have health issues! Come show your support! #yyc #lgbtq #chainmail

I’ve been too busy to post up until this moment. Here’s an order I sent off some days ago for a customer who wanted TWO *ahem* Gay “Pocket Rockets” ;) These are on my website if any of you are interested! #lgbtq #chainmail

Tomorrow you’ll all find me at Dickens Pub as one of 30+ vendors at the Alt Market! I’ve restocked my gay swords — 30 different flags! Come and get them! #lgbtq #chainmail #yyc

Sad news, one of my June markets got canceled due to the mall deeming queer stuff as “politically divisive”. So here’s a new list of markets I’ll be at to come! Find me at Queer Prom on June 6th instead, and take note! Red Deer I’ll be in your city on Jul.11th! #lgbtq

A customer ordered TWO of my brand new OG Gilbert Baker rainbow flag bracelets, AND one of my mythical pansexual pocket rockets (everyone misses them because they don’t actually check out my website and assume I skipped pan for some reason). This will be off in the mail soon! #lgbtq #chainmail

Just a reminder to my Calgary fans, I’ll be at a cool market this Saturday (May 23). It’s the 1st ever Alt Collective! I’ll have a FULL RESTOCK of all my GAY SWORDS for this market! So come get them before someone else does!

I dropped this ring while making a Mini transgender sword and it stood up by itself perfectly!

Yo!!! I got 2 more orders from my website! Both are going to folks in my local city — how cool is that?! Both people ordered A LOT of items — I had to actually make half of them fresh! But they’re about to be off to their forever homes now! #lgbtq #chainmail #pride

Here’s a before and after pic of my new Gilbert Baker Rainbow flag pendants! These are shaping up to be a hot seller on my brand new website! #lgbtq #chainmail

Just a reminder — I will NOT be vending at Otafest this weekend. They rejected me. But I might be there as an attendee on Saturday and/or Sunday from the afternoon on! Looking for friends to hang out with so hit me up! If you’re a fan and you see me — come say hi!

The answer is SWORDS! 100 little swords!!!!

Can you guess what’s in this package??? I’m super excited because I know what’s in here!

All US orders have been SENT OUT! I hope they arrive FAST!

Happy 100th birthday to you, random bit of sidewalk!

It’s not the best pictures, but here’s the FIRST 6 orders I’ve gotten headed off to the USA! Thank you SO MUCH for ordering! I hope this is the start of more to come!

Yooo!!!! Got my first USA order!!! Everything is WORKING!!! 🤩 The Quest to spread Gay Chainmail is a GO!

So apparently there was a BIG ISSUE with my website NOT ALLOWING US ORDERS!!!! I think I’ve fixed it now — if any of my US customers have any issues — please contact me! thearmouredartist.com

Today I’ll be vending at a Drag Show! I’ll be setting up on a pool table with a friend! it should be fun. If you’re in Calgary, you can grab tickets from Fake Moustache Drag through their IG!

Whew. I was a last minute edition to a market yesterday. It was so last minute that I didn’t even have time to post here about it. But it went alright! Here’s some pics of me and some vendor friends!

GREAT NEWS!!! THE DAY HAS COME! MY SHOP HAS LAUNCHED! God I’m SO HAPPY! FINALLY! Please go check it out! The prices should be cheaper than my Etsy! thearmouredartist.com

Alright I’ve restocked as many gay swords as I can — I am now out of sword blanks until mid May! So if you want a gay sword, come and find me at one of my upcoming markets!!! I can make you a custom if you’d like!

Gay Calgarians! Find me at table A2 tomorrow at the next Holigay market! Look for the rainbow tablecloth to find the GAY CHAINMAIL! And here’s a look of the markets I’ll be at this May!

The full moon was BEAUTIFUL last night!

Did you know that I’ve made a couple chainmail items based off of the Monsterfucker flag? Well now you know! The long schlong I made this Calgary Expo! Both items were for the same person! #monster #chainmail

This dog spends most of her time upside down, I swear. (What a cutie)

I got commissioned to make an Abrosexual Necklace at Calgary Expo this weekend! I don’t carry Abro stuff because I have limited space on my displays, and I have to pick the top 20 pride flags to sell. But I’m usually open to whip up something in 30min at an event! #abrosexual #chainmail #lgbtq

If you missed me at Calgary Expo, you can find me THIS Saturday at an awesome Holigay queer market! I DO still have stock, although I’m low on gay swords — but I’ve got sparkly pride buttons and PLENTY of other goodies!

WOW! Expo went GREAT for me! Thank you to those who came by! I had a blast and made A LOT of sales — the revenue was well needed to make up for the months I took off for surgery! I’m happy to say — I’m signed up for Calgary Expo 2027!

All set up for Friday at #calgaryexpo ! I’m booth 437 in Exhibitors Hall! I brought in my two unique necklaces in! #yyc #lgbtq

Here’s a real quick map of where to find me at #calgaryexpo today! I’m booth 437 in Exhibitors hall! Not AA! Come get your gay chainmail while it lasts! Thursday sales were shockingly good!!! 😱💙

HOLY COW!!! I’m a last minute vendor at Calgary Expo! I’m in Exhibitors Hall NOT artist alley! Booth 437! Come say hi!!!! #calgaryexpo #lgbtq #yyc

I’ve shared more about my website journey here than my other socials. But it’s worth mentioning again — my new website is close to launching, but there’s still an amount of work that needs to be done before it goes live. But it’s coming!!!

Just a reminder — I will likely NOT be a vendor in Calgary Expo this coming weekend… HOWEVER! I’m going to see if I can get in via their short list. So if you’re going — check my socials on the day of. I MIGHT sneak in there.

My 2 markets this past weekend went pretty good! Here’s some pics from both days.

Happy #lesbianvisabilityweek ! I just finished making the last half dozen bracelets I needed for restock!

Yesterday’s Market went well! I was worried about anyone coming down to the basement part of the market, but they came! I brought out my fanciest piece — The Raven’s Mantle since I had 8 feet of table #chainmail #lgbtq

Calgary! I’ll be at a market tomorrow AND Saturday! I’ve restocked over 20 Swordmarks for the weekend! Come and say hi! #yyc #lgbtq

Thank you to everyone who came to Crafternoon today! Can’t wait to see who comes in next week!

Crafternoon will be happening TODAY! 1-4pm! If you’re in Calgary and free, come on down and craft!

Just updated my upcoming events calendar! Added a whole bunch of new markets I’ll be at in Calgary! Check it out!

Happy International Asexuality day! It snuck up on me this year. Here’s some pics of the Ace and Demisexual stuff I have on sale (and will be available once my website launches!) #ace #asexual #chainmail

We had a small turn out for Crafternoon today, but it was fun nonetheless! Here’s what we got up to!

If you need somewhere to go this Easter Monday, Crafternoon will be starting at 1pm today! Seeya soon!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate. A few years back I painted some eggs with friends. I painted a Trans egg. Feels weird because… egg. Mine cracked but this ones intact. 😂🏳️‍⚧️ #trans

What better way to (belatedly) celebrate Trans Day of Visibility than to make visible my top surgery results at last? I’ve kept you all waiting for long enough. Here’s my new chest! Thanks again for all the donations, it’s helping pay for scar cream! #TDOV #trans #transmasc
