Anodized - Tumblr Posts

Update of the anodized titanium dragon tail with metal spikes installed down the spine. You can see in the close-ups how irregular and varied the titanium scales are, which I really enjoy. This was for a commissioner, but I'm very much considering a similar one for myself.

Not as many photos of it this time as the previous set, because it was getting dark.

I got some anodized titanium scales, and I made them into bracelets! I went for a mixed assortment of colors, so I could see which ones I liked enough to stock. And I in the meantime, I rather like this randomized aesthetic. It reminds me of over-saturated art of the aurora borealis or of galaxies.

I already decided to stock the green, which I posted previously. I’m thinking of also getting the rose/magenta one and the bright teal/purple one. I like the bright, inconsistent colors. The yellow is also pretty nice, but I think I have enough options for yellow as it is.

Anyway, as you could guess, these are up on my Etsy page!

Made a blue anodized niobium collar necklace for a friend. I love the subtle differences in the color from one ring to the next, with flashes of teal and purple.

We went with niobium because he wanted something fairly heavy, and the other metals that can be colored are quite light. He’ll be providing a lock for the closure, so I just grabbed a spring-opening O ring for the photos.

I'd gladly take custom orders for these, though the niobium is rather more expensive than I can keep stocked. I do plan to stock up on other materials in this ring size, though, to expand my available options for chainmail. Probably my top 3 favorite (non-scale maille) weaves use this ring size, so it does feel kind of silly that I’ve never really stocked anything other than stainless steel at this size.
