The pink and black anodized aluminum Byzantine necklace was requested as a commission just a bit ago. ($30 including shipping)
The bracelet is a Japanese 12-in-2 using rubber rings for the large rings. It took a long time, not sure if I'll be making similar to sell.
The green scaled thing I made quite a while back as a bracer because someone had asked about it. Unfortunately, because of the way the weave used with scales works, it stretches kind of arbitrarily sideways, so it wouldn't work as a bracer without a backing of some kind, which I was never able to work out quite.

you should go to a Joanne's if you have them there.. I think it was either that or Hancock fabrics.. they sell decent sized bundles of leather remnants to experiment with. I have a few pieces I've been meaning to upload that are maille/leather combos, and it was tons of fun to work with. Curio and I ended up with a leather punch (the one that has a bunch of different punches on a wheel, so you get 5 different sizes or so in one tool), a bunch of scrapbooking grommets, and a grommet tool (for the smaller sizes it's just a little metal thing you hammer on the end, for the bigger grommets it's a plastic thingy that holds onto both sides and shapes it as you hammer)... has been working out pretty well ^_^. pretty cheap to experiment with, especially if you get clever and join together the bigger pieces of maille by punching holes for grommets and connecting them with rings.
I think I'm looking at it upside down because of how the scales run but I saw that green piece and thought, "Wow that looks like Link's shield kinda". Now you've got the gears turning on how to build a lightweight yet sturdy frame and weave the Hylian pattern into it... I've been looking for an excuse to tinker with scales!
