Where I showcase my newest work and experimentation in the noble art of armor making. Many of the things I make will be for sale on my Etsy. And please consider supporting Warclad on Patreon. I'm a black craftswoman who stands in support with all races, genders, sexualities, religions, and classes and do my best to uphold this value in how I run my business. I am staunchly anti-fascist and stand in opposition to all such ideologies.
I wish they would just tell me when these messages are from!!! I always check things on my mobile so I often miss out on messages like this, and when I finally see them I have no idea how long it's been oTL.
There was a hiccup a little while back but it should currently be up at least.
I've been rewatching Venture Brothers. I've not seen it in years, and it holds up to my memories from when I was younger. A little... "of its time" in the humor department at times though, lol.
What’s your favorite thing to make? Do you prefer working with leather or metal?
I'd have to say, right now... costrels. They involve a lot of steps and are so fun to make. I prefer metal, but I'm better with leather right now. Working to change that though!
Coming in close to the end, but happy lesbian visibility week! I just started Progesterone, so hopefully next year I'll be up to being more visible lol.
Getting back into rondels. Really learning what my level of understanding and skill with armoring basics is. I am also learning a lot about learning to trust my gut.
Finished the awl a little while back. Sadly, the tip bends when puncturing leather three layers thick. I want it like that for costrels, so that's frustrating. I'll be trying to see if I can fix it. I'm even making a video on dealing with failure, itself an exercise in handling failure in a healthy way.
Still, I learned more about forging delicate things, and I got WAY better at making handles. My riveting still needs work, but I did a better job at handling it than usual, so even there, I'm growing in my craft.
Let's all keep doing our best, the weekend is almost here!
