Friday Fun: The Tentacled Topper

Good Morning,

Happy Friday to one and all.  Are we ready for the weekend? I know I am.  

The blog isn't always all about business, we like to have fun and play, too.  Today I would like share a little bit of that with you.  

My friend and fellow artist, Debbi, from Yankee Burrow took time out from her busy schedule to crochet this wonderfully fun hat for me.  We found the pattern on line and Debbi took up the hook and some marvelous acrylic yarn in a dark forest green and worked it up.






This hat is a hoot, I love it and cannot wait to wear this out grocery shopping or to some other activity, snowballs fights would be good.

Although this particular item is not listed in her shops, there are other things that are just as neat.  I hope you will take a moment to click through and see what else this talented and clever crafter has on offer.  Perhaps you would like to request a custom order?  She does that too.

Thank you for stopping in and having a look.

The Alchemists Vessel would like to wish you a pleasant day.

Featured Artist: Fallen Star Creation

Good Morning, 

The blog is back, and it is my pleasure to introduce Fallen Star Creation on etsy.

Misti writes: I'm a stay-at-home mother of 3 young children, I am finishing up college in a couple weeks (YAY!), and then hopefully going on to become an Air Force officer. But for now I try to bring in what income I am able from my Etsy shop to help support my family.



Welcome to FallenStar Creations!! Everything is handmade by me and every item can be custom made to your specifications. Please do not hesitate to ask if I can change things for you and/or to give me feedback about anything. We have recently upgraded our shop to include items other than chainmail. 

Chainmail 4-in-1 Triple Triangle Choker Necklace

 This is a choker made from 16g 1/4" bright aluminum and anodized aluminum (the colored rings). I can use other materials such as sterling silver, gold, stainless steel, niobium, copper, and real bronze and more but the price will change. Message me if you're interested in different materials.

Different colors are available, just let me know which colors you want. The third picture has the colors I currently have in stock in the second and third rows but if you want a color I don't have in stock I can get it quickly. I will also need to know how long you want this item to be and what clasp you prefer. I do have new clasps available that are not shown.

***PLEASE NOTE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE A SPECIALTY CLASP SUCH AS GOLD-FILLED, STERLING SILVER, ETC PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BUYING AS THEY DO COST ME MORE TO BUY AND UNFORTUNATELY I WILL HAVE TO INCREASE THE PRICE. 


Large and Small Owls in Chainmail

These adorable little guys make great pets! They love to travel on keychains, on necklaces, and the little guys are just small enough to even fit on a bracelet. They are also content just relaxing around the house. To have them as a keychain I charge just a little extra. Please let me know what colors you want for your owl(s) since most of them are custom ordered. I do have my little Gryffindor owl and a large purple owl that need homes and can be sent to you right away. :)

 

Chainmail Dragon Adoptions

 Who wouldn't love to adopt a dragon? We search far and wide for dragons who want to live with humans and we try to match them with their perfect owner. Let us know what color dragon you would like to adopt (including eye and claw color if there's a preference) and if you have a preference for their personality. Knowing a little bit about the new owner of a dragon will also help us find the perfect dragon so s/he will fit in perfectly. Every dragon comes with his or her own adoption certificate. The dragons are approximately eight inches and can either hold onto keychains so they can travel with you everywhere, be made into a bracelet, a necklace charm (though they would be quite big), or they can just hang out with you without a keyring.

The first two dragons are Primo, a very artistic dragon, and Simmons, who is already adopted. Primo is still looking for a home and he would be great for someone looking for some creative inspiration.

The second dragon is Jackie, the pumpkin dragon. She is ready for adoption and still looking for a home. She does have some scratches on a couple scales that are not shown in the picture. I think it gives her some personality but I can fix her up a bit and have all her scales nice and shiny again if you wish.

Other dragons featured are Tun and Jack who are both adopted. Jack is made out of galvanized steel which is why he can stand like that. Everyone else is made out of anodized aluminum.

We're on the lookout for baby dragons and larger dragons at the moment too. Hopefully they'll be found soon!

Rings are made of either anodized aluminum and/or bright aluminum but I can do other materials as well including sterling silver, niobium, gold, copper, steel and more. The price will change if a different material is requested.

***Galvanized Steel has different properties than the anodized aluminum I normally use. It is not recommended to be washed, it can have an almost "dirty" feel to it, and you MUST keep it away from heat sources or else toxic fumes come off of the zinc layer of the steel. I do not recommend a dragon made of galvanized steel for children. It also makes a stiffer dragon than anodized aluminum which lets it sit up better.*** 

 

Chainmail Byzantine Bracelet

This is my favorite weave of chainmaille called Byzantine.

Different colors are available, just let me know which colors you want. I can also do different clasps. I do have new clasps available that are not shown. The rings are made of anodized aluminum (except for the copper which is, in fact, real copper) but I can do other materials as well including sterling silver, niobium, gold, steel, and more. The price will change if a different material is requested.

I will also need to know how long you want this item to be.

This is also great as an anklet. It can be made into a necklace for an additional fee.

Chainmail Helm Bracelets

 This Helm bracelet is very beautiful and can be made from a variety of colors. The first color choice is for the large rings and the second color choice is for the small connector rings. Message me if you would like a different combination of colors. The first picture shows all the colors I currently have in stock in the large rings.

I even have a set of helm bracelets for Sailor Moon!! I will add in a discount if you buy the whole set. The second picture are my Sailor Moon bracelets.

***Charms are NOT included. I can add charms for an additional fee which depend on how much the charm costs me. Please message me first for this option.***

Different colors are available, just let me know which colors you want. I can also do different clasps. The rings are made of anodized aluminum but I can do other materials as well including sterling silver, niobium, gold, steel, and more. The price will change if a different material is requested.
