Yup, at least sorta..

Anyway!

Great news, I'll be dealing at Further Confusion 2019!
Sadly my Glowforges filter won't be coming in in time so I may not bring it at all (no live demo's/orders) but I still hope to have some really cool stuff!

Keep an eye out! ;3

Just so everyone knows, my  jollyzjackal is the sweetest hunk of man meat and he is the most amazing in every way and this totally isn't him typing this I swear :o

I've been quiet as hell mostly because of work.

Sadly this job has taken it's toll on my wrists something fierce and I can't really work on chainmaille.. Like at all.. It's fairly depressing actually.


So ya.. I'm pretty quiet these days.. I'm more active on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/loopine_metalworks/

Seems that luck is in my favor and I was able to snag a table! Come find me in the DD and buy some shiny and glowie things!

Luckily the planets aligned and Jolly and I will be attending MFF this year! Unfortunately I will not have a table but I will be offering pre-orders for at con pickup!
15% off of pre-orders to be picked up at the con, including glow items!

Woo, finally going through the BLFC back stock and listing things up, I've got some biger things like dragons up on my etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/IchiBlack as well as some listings here! Please take a look.

General updates, still don't really have time or energy to work on much of anything.. And recent health appointments have taken the tole on my wallet, so any sales are super appreciated right now!

Hoping to get some fun things going again!

Hoping to get a pre-made sale here in a day or so, work hasn't been as productive as I'd like so I need something coming in.. Sadly my wrists have only gotten worse so I still haven't been able to do much of anything new...

Wanted to put out an update since I've been silent here..

Pretty much any kind of craft work has come to a complete halt. I've been dealing with pain in my left wrist for years but recently it had gotten so bad I could barely do anything with it, and with a full time job that requires I use it, it meant no craft work at all.. Well results from the doctor show a bone shard in the tendon.. Not sure what can or will be done about it but we'll have to see..
So for now that means I probably won't be producing anything for the unknown future..

I have finally gotten Patreon all set up and sorted, I'll be updating things as I go!

BLFC: Is coming up fast! I cannot wait! I can be found at table 80 in the dealers den!

So yes! Sorry for the few and far between updates! Laptop lives (thank god) so that isn't a worry anymore. Work has picked up a bit, making it so I can actually order some cool things again.
That being said, I am still dealing at BLFC! 25% off of pre-orders to be picked up at BLFC. (Just mention if your going to be picking it up at the con)!

Keep an eye out for some cool things coming!

So ya.. Pretty much brand new laptop might be dead, work is nuts and I don't get paid enough.. Sooooo I'll be listing some stuff up for sale (including a dragons egg) as well as offering 15% off of custom orders and 25% off of pre-orders to be picked up at BLFC. (Just mention if your voting to be picking it up at the con), though because work is crazy and I don't know how much time I'll have to work on stuff wait times might be a little longer then normal (though I try and get things done and out as soon as I can!)

In between working I'm trying to get a bunch of stock ready for BLFC, so far for the 'big' projects I have one scalemaille tie done, I'm hoping to get another one done, some dragon eggs, at least one large dreamcatcher, some scale dice bags and I'm not sure what else. Is there anything special y'all would like to see?

Haven't updated in a while, mostly because I've been working so much.

I am still making chainmaille though I've been working in finer metals such as niobium and silver, I've wanted to make finer pieces for the longest time and I'm finally getting into it. I'm also trying to finally write some tutorials, but we'll see how those go.

I also got approved for BLFC dealers den again! Super looking forward to it again, last year was a blast!

Also if anyone wants to keep in better contact, discuss possible commission idea's, or even need help with learning chainmaille my Telegram is IchiBlack

Yup I'm going to be there :p
I'll be at table 9 and I'll be bringing stuff to do commissions at the con!

I try to be very friendly and approachable so feel free to come say hi!

Sorry for the lack of updates! Just started a new job that has me on a lot of hours without much off time so I haven't had much time to take photos of new stuff.
I'm also prepping for Rainfurrest here in under a month, hoping to have a bunch of new things there but I only have a half table. I may not be bringing stuff to offer commissions at the con but note me here if you'd like a pre-order to pick up at the con! 15% off pre-orders for pickup at the con.

Just some general updates.

Camera has now been fixed, much thanks to for getting he lens back into it's tracks and so far it all seems to be good.

I'm wondering if people might be interested in kits? That way you would have the rings/clasp you'd need to make a piece without extra rings hanging around if you didn't want them?

I also hope to have some dragons eggs, dice bags, and other interesting items up soon including some rare hand anodized niobium pieces! Keep an eye out!

Another trip 'round the sun for me and a year older.. *shakes cane*

So ya.. Trying to get pictures of the glow crystals and my Rebel decides to commit seppuku off of the box it was on and break not only the lens but the body... Cool.. Just another thing gone wrong today.. And the last thing I needed right now...

Going home this weekend to visit my family for my birthday so I'm bringing the camera body and lens to the repair place I trust to see if anything can be done. In the mean time I'll be processing what photos I do have and putting them up, really need money coming in right now... ;-;

I'm still puttering along, been delayed due to my main computer crashing on me repeatedly (it's been doing it for a while) and I keep giving it life support and bringing it back, well I've finally got my mits on a laptop so I've been working on transferring things to it, so photos of the new glow crystals have been slow and such.

Questions I'd love input on;
If I did a custom scale dice bag auction would people be interested? I don't offer these on normal commissions.

Dragons Eggs, I'm hoping to make some soon, what colors might y'all want?

Antiqued Copper, would you like to see more pieces?

Anything else you'd like to see?

I've also gotten more comfortable with the idea of doing bigger pieces like armor and such.

Back from camping, which was a blast, need to go out there more!


I am as always Open for Commissions at this time!
I also added some new customs, see below!

Starting prices!
Dreamcatcher pendants $30 - http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15947303/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/15947277/

I might also be open to some Dragons Egg's requests! (requests since I'm not comfortable doing completely custom pieces yet) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16355168/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16336208/

So a bit of updates!

I finally received a ton of the rings I need to make turbines and dreamcatcher pendants, so I'm officially open for custom commissions of them!

As for the out of town warning, I'm leaving on our yearly camping trip on Thursday June 11th and coming back late Sunday June 14th, I won't have any cell reception so I won't be able to check anything.

Mkay so this is how it's going to go down, I'm going to start listing left over stock from the con starting today (will be pendants today), each day will be a new bracket so tomorrow will be bracelets, Tuesday will probably be Titanium items and so on. I won't be shipping items until everything is up (so things will go out at the end of the week) that gives everyone the chance to get anything they want and not have to do multiple shipping costs.

Whats left over? Pendants, necklaces, bracelets, keychains, all sorts of stuff! Once this mass listing is over I'll do inventory and see if grab bags are a possibility.

Back from the con and finally unpacking!
Other then the hiccup at the beginning of forgetting all of my finished work (which friends were amazing to get the bin on their way up so I was saved!) the con was a huge success! Met a bunch of cool people that came to my table, sold the vast majority of my stuff but I will be posting post-con sales as well as some grab bags!

I got asked a lot of I'll be offering the Dragon Eggs on commission, I do not plan to however I will be doing a rare few pre-mades. All the one's I had at the con sold so those might take a bit to show up.
I have one take home commission and one extension to do, and those will be worked on as I can.

Since this year was a huge success I hope to be back next year with bigger and better things! The next con that I will be selling at will be Rainfurrest in September, I'm hoping to have some armor pieces there as well! I'm also debating throwing my hat in for FC as well but I'm unsure at this point.
