Looking for a statement piece to wear for game night? Look no further!
This subtly iridescent maille belt is woven in the Dragonscale weave (which consists of two interwoven layers of European 4-in-1, the weave seen in most non-japanese maille armour... but I digress), from titanium accented with anodized titanium and niobium in greens, blues and purples, in an attempt to capture the look of fish- (or perhaps dragon?) scales.
The belt is 4 cm wide (~1 9/16 in) and fits most belt loops, and fits waists from 80-145 cm (~31 1/2 - 57 in). I recommend tying excess length in the style of a medieval ring belt, but should you choose to shorten it I will gladly help guide you through the process if you message me on Twitch.
While I would tell you it was forged in the heart of a dark star, it is in fact rolled, drawn into wire, coiled, cut, and assembled using an assortment of pliers. But it is the thought that counts.
Materials: Titanium (plain and anodized) and niobium rings, nickel buckle. The belt is corrosion resistant and doesn't mind getting wet; clean with soap and water. Not entirely comfortable worn directly against bare skin, and should be kept away from loose hair.

Hi!
I am slowly but surely approaching being able to call myself a long-time watcher of Desert Bus, and, as an avid maille weaver, I am now also working towards being able to call myself a regular Craft-Along participant. When not found lurking in DB chat I spend my time pondering wrong my orb the fact that while a softer metal ring can't scratch tongs made of harder metal, they sure can and will dent them.
(...and yes, I style my name like that on purpose)
