Okay, up front. "DFWM" stands for Don't F*** With Me. Because it seemed... fitting. It's more of a guard mask than a warrior mask... and it sure isn't a maiden mask.

I suppose you could consider it more of a "headband with a mask", really. I hadn't quite... planned on this one. It was going to be a necklace. What happened? I'd still like to know. It took weeks to complete, possibly because the band is real leather and I was trying not to screw it up. No sewing machine means sewing leather by hand... which means it takes a while.

It's creepy, it's fun, it makes enjoyable clacking noises, and it's easy to see out of, but not so easy for people to see your eyes. It's just a fun little fantasy piece. ...Unfortunately it inspires me to make more accessories and potentially a whole ensemble to match. ...Ugh.

Delicate and mysterious, this chainmail mask is a true work of well-crafted art. The design goes hand-in-hand with the concept and the beaded accents add just the bit of needed detail to balance the silver and fall in a gorgeous, butterfly-like shape. A truly inspiring piece for all who still work in this beautiful artform.

☼I realize it's actually more than amazing. It is most hard Corely amzing. I see why you got a feature. Every little ringlet is done to perfection, Not a single one bent it looks like. Which Was hard as hell to do most like. Sewing leather by hand. That takes skill and a deft hand. The beads add a nice touch. Makes it seem as if the wearer has beautiful eyes. I beleive that is all now.☼

Nice! That's an awesome chainmail design! I've seen "masks" where there were just loops of chain covering the cheeks and a brow piece, but I've never seen one with a full chain curtain. Definitely like it!
