Just A Fresh Copy Of This Swamp Creature Mask In A Color That I Hadn't Made It In Before. Made For A

Just a fresh copy of this swamp creature mask in a color that I hadn't made it in before. Made for a customer on Etsy.

Oooh man, I finally assembled two (TWO!) items of furniture I designed! The shelves I cut this last Monday. The lamp pieces have been sitting in a box since before Christmas.

I took progress photos of the assembly of both of these, and I’ll post them with an in-depth write-up later. But for now, enjoy this final photo!

One point for everything you can identify on the shelves.

Hello, I am wondering if you could do a Dutch Angel Dragon tail and how much would it cost

You’d have to be more specific about what exactly you’re thinking of. If it’s just a matter of a specific pattern of scales on the tail, it wouldn’t affect the price. If you wanted more complicated details like big spine spikes or a fluffy tail tip, we’d have to have a non-anonymous conversation to figure out how your desires compared to my capabilities.

Finally decided to list anodized titanium as available. It’s probably the metal I find most beautiful out of everything I’ve worked with. The color comes from an oxide layer on the surface, where the layer’s thickness determines the wavelength of light that can get through it. Similar to how the colors of a soap bubble or oil film come about.

Currently this green is the only color I have stock of. (My last material order, I got green and a bag of mixed scales.) Next time I’m ordering more materials I’ll definitely get another couple of colors.

You can get one over on my Etsy page!

Some materials I’ve been toying with. I was vending at a small convention over the weekend, and I made a few new things for it.

The first is titanium scales. I’ve been making flame-colored bracelets for a while, which are the three on the left. (The darker one I tried heating from the back, to see if I could get or liked a more even coloration. It was pretty consistent, but it wasn’t a very interesting color. Oh well.) Recently I got anodized titanium scales, which are absolutely beautiful. These ones were made with a random assortment of colors, which I rather enjoyed. I need to get some more photos of them, then they’ll go up on my Etsy page. So far I’ve just got green anodized listed. 

Below is two bronze necklaces. The pattern is a very tight spiral weave configuration referred to as Jens Pind Linkage. Bronze is fun to me because it oxidizes so nicely. The shiny one is brand new, freshly woven, and the dark one is after 2 weeks of continual wear. I think it’s mostly reached a steady color now? It darkened most of the way within a few days.
