It's that time again so let me know if you want badges where the electoral commission mascot does *not* look ridiculously sexy. Also I inhaled cake trimmings and now I can't stop coughing.

Kākāpō! (Yes, this is a screenshot of a photo I've previously posted; I'm on my work computer and don't have all my jewellery pics with me.)

A pair of scalemail earrings inspired by the kākāpō: each earring consists of four overlapping scales (like feathers) in various shades of green.

I need to look up which shade of orange I used for these because I have two very similar ones and I'm making more of all my native birb earrings.

Paid my taxes and it made me unhappy so here’s another picture of mr snake

Wibbly length of rainbow chainmail on blue tablecloth. There’s also small metal links in assorted colours and a pair of pliers with red handles. Most important is the wibbly wobbly sinuous snakey chainmail though.

That time I made a glow-in-the-dark bracelet, for funsies. (Username is instagram username; that's where this image was originally posted.)

A chainmail bracelet on paving stones. The bracelet is in shades of grey and black which blend in with the stones, and also a bright fluoro yellow that just so happens to glow in the dark and most definitely does *not* blend in with the stones. The username "reverb_nz" is superimposed on the image.

I have no memory of taking this photo but it can't have been *that* long ago. Within the last year or two? Slightly baffled.

This road cone was caught at the scene of a supermarket trolley murder. Warning: graphic.

Here is a road cone in the wild with its young. You can tell by the markings that the juvenile is nearing adulthood, but size-wise it's still got a way to go.

I made these the other day! Also did a pair in black. They're quite fun, the movement is gorgeous.

I am twelve and this is funny to me.

Part of a webpage: there is a circular photo close-up of some rainbow chainmail earrings, captioned by the store details for Reverb Jewellery (reverb.felt.co.nz). At the bottom under five stars it says "69 items sold".
