Hey everyone, sorry I didn’t start the year off a little sooner, but it was an exhausting holiday season. But now that my kid is back in school, it’s time to find the routine again! These are some more of the scale flowers I started making… 1/2 #chainmail #scalemail #flower #ornament #keychain

Hi everyone! Sorry for being so absent, the flu really hit me hard, and I’ve been exhausted while recovering. I’m going to take this opportunity to take a bit of a holiday break, and come back strong in the new year. Stay safe, and take care of each other! ❄️🎄❤️ #happyholidays #staywarm #happynewyear

Day two of Creatures of the Night Market, Winter Solstice 2025 edition! The weather is much nicer, so come check out all the goodies and get some holiday shopping done! I have ornaments! ❄️🎄🎅 #creaturesofthenightmarket #wintersolstice #scalemail #ornaments #handmade

Come on down to day one of the Creatures of the Night Market, Winter Solstice 2025! 614 11th St E, Saskatoon, 1-9pm! Featuring crochet by LizJustLiz! This Ho-Ho-Hobbit is getting festive, even if I need to mask up! ❄️🎄🎅 #creaturesofthenightmarket #handmade #festive #wintersolstice #chainmail

Hi everyone, sorry for the radio silence! It’s been a rough week, I’ve been dealing with a rather nasty cold that managed to hit everyone in our household. The good news is I’m feeling much better, so I’ll still be at the 1/2 #creaturesofthenightmarket #chainmail #jewelry #bracelet #fullpersian6in1

Next weekend I will once again have the please of vending at the Creatures of the Night Market, Winter Solstice edition! #creaturesofthenightmarket #craftshow #handmade #crochet #chainmail

New BETTER earring pics! This isn’t the finalized set-up, but it’s better than I had before! These are some new styles I’ve been trying, now that I’ve got more scales in more sizes, and I’m super excited for how they’ve been turning out! #chainmail #scalemail #jewelry #earrings

Did you know that I make belts? I’ve been focusing a lot more on chainmail than leather lately, but for TBT here’s belts I made for my wife and I back just before the pandemic. They’re pretty simple, but there’s some cute details for both of us. 😊 #leathercraft #belt #ThrowbackThursday #rose #zelda

These reversible Japanese 12-in-2 cuffs have been very popular, so here’s another! I’ve got more coming up, including a commission that I’m really excited for! Can’t wait to show you the concept behind that one! #chainmail #jewelry #cuffbracelet #reversible #japanese12in2

Here are some bracelets I’ve made recently in a pattern called Barrel Weave. It’s a delicate weave, I’m always a little nervous about the single rings connecting the barrel segments, but it’s a pretty one! #chainmail #jewellery #bracelets #barrelweave #handmade

First post in December, time to show off my Christmas ornaments! These little scale flowers actually can be ornaments, pendants, or all sorts of decorations, but I wanted to start making them for the season specifically. 1/2 #chainmail #scalemail #flowers #ornaments #christmas

Christmas Market at the St Petra Mohyla Institute! Open now until 2pm at 1240 Temperance Ave, Saskatoon! I’ve got some interesting new stuff for sale! 💙💛🎄❄️✨ #mohylainstitute #christmasmarket #ukrainianmarket #handmade #merrychristmas

New dragonscale cuff! This is the one I posted progress pics of last week. I finished it the next day, but I’m a little behind on photos. :P Also, as I said before, I’ve been having fun trying to make colour gradients lately! 1/3 #chainmail #jewellery #dragonscale #cuff #bracelet

New hand flower made from the Celtic Star I did previously! I’m really happy with how this turned out, and with some new rings on the way, I’ll be able to do this one in many more colours too! 1/2 #chainmail #jewellery #handflower #celticstar #handmade

The view from my “office”. I must admit, though I’m usually more of a summer guy, the winter sure can be pretty. 🤍❄️🩵 #winter #snowytrees #viewfrommywindow #backyard #winterwonderland

My next event is the Christmas Market hosted by the Ukrainian St Petro Mohyla Institute this Saturday, November 29. Come do some magical Christmas shopping, and support the good people of Ukraine! 💙💛 Slava Ukraini! #christmasmarket #holidaymarket #mohylainstitute #ukrainianmarket #SlavaUkraini

Yesterday “Toof Jr” found a forever home with Spencer, and was named for their D&D character! 😊 There’s only one dragon left from my original clutch, but I’ve got some eggs that I’m pretty sure are close to hatching! 😉 #chainmail #keychain #dragon

Doors are open at Winter Wonderland in the Warman Home Centre Communiplex! Today only until 4pm, with over 200 vendors to explore! Don’t miss out! #winterwonderland #warman #warmanlegendscentre #holidaymarket #handmade

A couple new keychains, plus one last reminder that I’ll be selling at Winter Wonderland in Warman tomorrow! It’s sure to be a good show! Also, I’ve really enjoyed playing with colour gradients lately. 😊 #chainmail #keychain #handmade #WinterWonderland #WarmanSK

I had something planned for a Throwback Thursday, but then I realized that today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance, so let’s just take a moment to remember those lost to anti-trans violence and transphobia. #transdayofrememberance #transgenderawareness #TransRightsAreHumanRights #transrights🏳️‍⚧️

Today for WiP Wednesday, I decided to show some of the process of making those Dragonscale chain cuffs. Like many weaves, Dragonscale is most difficult at the beginning, where you’re trying to keep a bunch of loose rings straight. 1/? #chainmail #jewellery #dragonscale #cuffbracelet #wipwednesday

Here is a couple recent bracelets I made, along with a reminder that I’ll be at the Winter Wonderland market in Warman this Saturday! Come check it out, there’s going to be so much to see! #chainmail #jewellery #bracelet #winterwonderland #handmade

I like playing with keychains, making flags and simple fun references. The Canada Flag and Pokeball are two popular ones (who’s surprised 😆), so I’ve made some replacements, but I really need to just have a bunch on standby. #chainmail #keychain #canada #flag #pokeball

The Celtic Visions bracelets have been very popular! I sold out of all but my larger one at the last show, so I made these replacements. I feel like I’m gonna be doing a lot of these. Good thing they’re fun and use ring sizes that I have loads of! 1/2 #chainmail #jewellery #bracelet #celticvisions

More Dragonscale cuffs! I really like this design, and want to make more! The silver/blue one (which I’ve been calling “Frost Deagon”) has already sold! My next one is going to experiment with more colours, hopefully in a sort of gradient. #chainmail #jewellery #cuff #bracelet #dragonscale

My next show will be the Winter Wonderland market in Warman, on November 22 from 10am-4pm, at the Warman Home Centre Communiplex (701 Centennial Blvd). It’s gonna be a big one, with over 200 vendors! 1/2 #winterwonderland #craftshow #WarmanSK #chainmail #scalemail

Based on some folks’ suggestions, I have taken the joke even further, and now if you adopt one of my keychain dragons, you need to name it (adoption certificate cards are coming). So, I’m pleased to announce that “Jellybean”… 1/2 #chainmail #keychain #dragon #pinkandblack

Day 2 of Creatures of the Night Market, November 2025 edition! Come check it out! I made more Dragon Tail keychains! 614 11th St E, 1-7pm today! #creaturesofthenightmarket #craftshow #dragontail #keychain #chainmail

Reminder that today from 1-9pm is the first day of the Creatures of the Night Market, November 2025 edition. Come visit us at 614 11th St East, Saskatoon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜👻 #creaturesofthenightmarket #crafts #handmade #fortunes #weirdandwonderful

Today is just a selection of bracelets I made recently. No real theme or meaning behind these, just playing with colours and weaves. I may have posted some of these before, because I made them at my last craft show… 1/3 #chainmail #jewellery #bracelets #handmade #creaturesofthenightmarket

I’ve posted loads of bracelets, keychains, necklaces, bags, but did you know I also make earrings? I am trying to figure out a better way to photograph them, but in the meantime enjoy a Throwback Thursday of… 1/2 #chainmail #scalemail #earrings #jewellery #ThrowbackThursday

New keychains, but these ones are not strictly for sale! One of these will be donated to the raffle at Creatures of the Night Market this weekend, with proceeds going to Riversdale Community Fridge, and the others 1/3 #chainmail #keychains #raffle #doorprize #charity

This weekend I will once again vend at Creatures of the Night Market, just off Broadway in Saskatoon! Do you want the weird and witchy? Do you seek the strange and stylish? Do you enjoy the eccentric and eerie? Then this is the show for you! #craftshow #creaturesofthenightmarket #weirdandwonderful

A little belated, but our family Halloween costumes! We were gonna go with a space theme, because Hobbit Jr wanted to be an astronaut, but we ran out of time on the rest of the costumes. #halloween #costumes #astronaut #robinhooddisney #cosplay

I taught a class today! This was an “begintermediate” class, as it’s not too complex a weave, but I wanted only students who had taken my Intro to Chainmail course, because it can be a bit tricky. 1/2 #chainmail #keychain #class #european6in1

Happy Halloween from my house to yours! Costume pics to come later. 🎃🕷️👻 #halloween #happyhalloween #trickortreat #decorations #allhallowseve

This year’s pumpkin! It’s a bit simpler than I usually do, because I’m kinda exhausted lately (hence the light posting week…). Also, we had a second one, but it developed a split and rotted before I got to carve it. 1/2 #halloween #jackolantern #pumpkin #handcarved #kitty

I am still very tired from a very busy weekend, but here are some more of this new style of keychains. I think they’re pretty cute, and at least some folks agree with me, as the purple one sold within 5 minutes of putting it on the table! 1/2 #chainmail #keychain #scalemail #colourful

Some of the WiPs I finished recently with my big order of rings included a selection of these European 6-in-1 cuffs. I like these because they’re relatively simple to make, but they’re still fun and bold! #chainmail #jewellery #bracelet #cuff #euro6in1

I really like these double-sided cuffs! This is the second one I’ve made from the Japanese 12-in-2 weave, and they’re pretty cool! I played a little more with colours this time, and I think it turned out well. 1/2 #chainmail #jewellery #cuff #bracelet #japanese12in2

I made another jelly cube! This time in rainbow colours! I feel like it turned out slightly stiffer than the previous one, possibly because this batch of green rings seem to be just a hair smaller than standard. Oh well, it’s still fun! Watch out for more! #chainmail #jellycube #fidgettoy #rainbow

Come on by for day 2 of Creatures of the Night Market! Open until 7pm, all the witchy, weird and wonderful things you could desire! Here’s some pieces I made at the table yesterday! 🎃👻🕷️ #creaturesofthenightmarket #saskatoon #craftshow #chainmail #jewellery

One of the funnest things about wearing a cloak in public is the different reactions you get from people. It’s like a game! Are you gonna give me a double take? A suspicious side-eye? A carefully avoiding eye contact? Normal is boring, embrace your weird! 🤓 #nerd #cosplay #cloak #hobbit #beweird

Today 1-9pm and tomorrow 1-7pm, come visit this little Hobbit at the Creatures of the Night Market at the Cosmo Senior Centre, 614 11th St E in Saskatoon! Gonna be a weird and wonderful weekend! 🕷️🎃👻 #creaturesofthenightmarket #craftshow #altculture #halloween #handmade

Reminder to come check out the Creatures of the Night Market, Halloween edition, this weekend at the Cosmo Senior Centre in Saskatoon! I have pumpkins (of a sort)! 🎃👻💀 #creaturesofthenightmarket #chainmail #keychain #pumpkin #jackolantern

I think this might be one of the coolest things I’ve ever made! I had the idea for it ages back, but with the upcoming Halloween market it seemed like the perfect time to try to make my vision a reality! I’m so happy with how this turned out! 🕷️🕸️🎃 #chainmail #jewellery #handflower #spider #halloween

Finished a new piece last night, this cuff in a weave called Dragonscale! It’s a very neat weave, though not exactly the quickest or easiest to make. I love how it turned out though, so I’ll need to do more. 1/2 #chainmail #jewellery #bracelet #cuff #dragonscale

9 different Pride Flag keychains! These items tend to be so popular that they’re hard to keep in stock. I plan to make more of each so that I’m not immediately out when someone buys one. :P 1/3 #chainmail #keychains #Pride #lgbtq🌈

With that big order of rings recently, I’ve been able to finish up some of my WiPs, like this rainbow dice bag! The square wire rings have such a special, shiny look to them! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #chainmail #dicebag #rainbow #finishedwip #squarewire

I have been slightly remiss in not mentioning yet that IT’S SPOOKY SEASON!!! One of our family’s favourite times of the year! With that in mind, join me next weekend at Creatures of the Night Market! 1/2 #creaturesofthenightmarket #spookyseason #craftshow #nightmarket #saskatoonevents
