Sometimes a simple Byz chain is just lovely 🥰

20g 7/64 micromaille with magnetic clasp, rings from both TheRingLord.com and Weave Got Maille

I love how well AA holds up even against showers and baths, sunscreen and just about anything else that would normally tarnish or wear out a chain...

Bonus pic of the rainbow chain I wear 24/7 and rarely take off, made around 2 years ago (I think), as well as my Tinker Twirl weave.

Also BONUS-bonus pic of my carry cases for all my rings... there's one more that's full as well and I need one more for the last of my rings..

Hey Gnome friends, Happy Pride!

I just wanted to reshare this resource I built of the more common Pride flags - and it's absolutely FREE to download for your own usage or as handouts if you have access to a color printer! (Yes it lives on Google Drive, but it should open without a hassle.)

"But Tinker Gnome, what makes this different from other Pride posters and the like?"

So glad you asked! Because mine has the definitions of the flags - most ones that people even sell as posters on Etsy right now, only have the flags or the flag and at least what it represents, and people are kinda left guessing.

This sheet is meant to be printed out on legal sized paper, But if you only want it without the Subcultures, it'll fit on regular 8.5" x 11" printer paper without an issue. But if you want to turn it into a poster for your own use, there's plenty of print & ship places out there. All I ask is that you remember to give me credit - mainly because they can come back to me when I make updates.

Now this is an ONGOING project, so please don't come at me about flags that are missing, I'm highly aware they are missing, there's new flags and adjustments all the time and I can't always keep up.

Alternatively, this also works out great if you print it on sticker paper for labels 😉👉🏻👉🏻 I realized that trick last year...

Happy Pride Month folks!

This is a "Guide to Pride" chart I've been working on a bunch, with definitions. I added a few more today thanks to some folks on Reddit & Imgur

Note: I can't really keep up on posting/reposting it, so here is the link for the ones I'm trying to keep updated

Another Tinkering session with my FAFO method of playing with chainmaille :)

Today's Tinkering:
Chainmaille Bortholes 🤣

It's a take on my usual "Fidget Coins" that I make for sale and give to the Mental Health providers at my place of work for patients lol

3rd picture is of the usual Fidget Coins that I make - they have an additional center ring that helps the rings be kinda slinky and rolly. I've had some pretty great feedback with them since I started making them ~2 years ago :)
