The Mailleman himself! I live in San Deigo, California. Find me at any of the local RenFaires.
PineconeA simple decoration, dragonscale wrapped in a circle. Wonderful for keychains that don't already have too much weight. |

Pinecone CloseupRelative size of the pinecone, compared with my fingers. |

The DarkmailleOh, such beautiful darkened steel, lovingly crafted into an awesome coat of maille, with galvi highlights... Sadly, the whole thing rusted over in a month. Not being big on constant maintenance, it now serves as a bright orange example of hubris. |

Magic WandWho says wands must be wood? Mine is made of steel; a roundbar core with corduroy wrapping, a glass marble in the handle, and a flash that no one can deny. |
|
Magic Wand SetWhy stop at one, when you can have two? The new one has a small orange crystal set in the pommel. |

The Barbarian CrownWorking with large brass rings leads itself to headgear, especially when you wrap the brass in hiltchain, and a few layers of dark blue fur. |
|
Morning StarThe handle is hiltchain (good for stiff pieces), the chain is spiral braid, the spikes are Tetra Orbs. It's not very big, just a cute miniature. I made my first one for a gift exchange (it had only one spiked orb), but the fellow who really wanted it didn't win it, so I made him this one. |
|
The PentaCoifMy first coif! For the mantle I joined five trapezoidal sections together; hence the name. |
|
The NayaHelmOne spring, with only a few days left before the Palm Springs RenFaire, and nothing to wear on my head, I created this. It has a skullcap joined with a hiltchain-wrapped 8 in. brass ring, with a curtain down the back. Ooh, I get lots of photos with my hats! |
|
Pirate BandanaLike pirates? Want something manlier than a rag on your head? How about a row of 6 in 1 that hangs down in the back, joined to a skullcap? |
|
GloveJust to see if I could. Turns out, I could. Never made the other one, though, just to anger my obsessive-compulsive side. |
