Joe did a little test for a customer request. This is 18swg 1/4" and it makes inverted captured roundmail into a stiff solid chain. No flexibility or give. Not suitable for jewellery.

Hey Friends! I sent the USA box today - as tomorrow is NYE - and it would just sit somewhere over the weekend. Next USA Box will leave me MONDAY -- Canada Post orders will ship tomorrow!! Thanks for understanding that shipping schedules are done on our best cooperation with the shipping companies we work with. We are still seeing massive Canada Post delays from Early December. They are still working on those deliveries!!! Thanks!

We got almost all shipping caught up today! Even with our borrowed little distraction! He is not good at shipping. Meet our friend Boo. He isn't ours... just a new friend. Since we aren't allowed to visit with other people. We are just getting daily puppy visits!

I did VERY minimal work today. I checked the email and printed orders. I also Painted fuckflakes :) I will start Shipping on Tuesday! Thanks for letting me have a break!! Shelley

"There is no reason Canada Post could not have increased their capacity for the upcoming holiday season by securing temporary sorting facilities and hiring more seasonal workers to deliver and sort. There is an unprecedented amount of available labour looking for work due to the pandemic." Thanks for all your patience waiting for your orders!!

We managed to get a SMALL quantity of these clasps in. My supplier is already back ordered on some of them... so this might we all we get! So if you like them - don't wait! Buy them now! They are stainless steel! Very cool!

I havent been in my studio since Covid hit . No shows to sell at... whats the point? So yesterday Gracie and I did a zoom class with @barrieedwards and made feather rings! They are adjustable and turned out beautifully!! Grace was super excited to make something with her buddy Barrie in Vancouver! It was a blast. If you have a home studio... i'll post when she does the next class! #makeyourown #diy #zoomclass #silversmith #sterling

Mmmm.... Gold Filled rings. So pretty. I love to mix them with Sterling Silver. High end chainmaille is always popular! #goldfill #chainmaille #madeinyxe #diyjewelrymaking #jumprings

SERVICE UPDATES FOR TODAY - Tuesday Nov 10. UPDATE -- Courier has confirmed they will do a pickup today at 5pm! I will add all USA orders I ship TODAY to this box!! YAY!! So that will help! UPDATE -- CANADA POST HAS CANCELLED ALL PICKUPS TODAY - 90% of trucks are STUCK. So no service. Sorry folks! I can't even WALK it anywhere for you! Thanks for your patience. WE ARE CLOSED TOMORROW AS IT IS REMEMBRANCE DAY!! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR CANADIANS TO REMEMBER AND APPRECIATE THOSE WHO FOUGHT FOR THE FREEDOM WE ENJOY AS CANADIANS. I will NOT be working tomorrow as My Grandfather was in WW1 and hated when stores opened on Remembrance Day. He felt it meant we were forgetting. LEST WE FORGET.

Well the good news is we dug out the hot tub to soak our weary shoveling muscles... but the bad news is I have no idea when shipping will resume. Canada post couldn't come yesterday nor did our courier pick up. We are still preparing and shipping your orders so the delay will be minimal! Thanks for your patience! We appreciate it! UPDATE -- Courier has confirmed they will do a pickup today at 5pm! I will add all USA orders I ship TODAY to this box!! YAY!! So that will help! UPDATE -- CANADA POST HAS CANCELLED ALL PICKUPS TODAY - 90% of trucks are STUCK. So no service. Sorry folks! I can't even WALK it anywhere for you! Thanks for your patience

Hey All! We are having issues shipments taking a REALLY long time from Australia and New Zealand... so we are going to pause shipping to those countries for a bit. We cant afford to refund for packages that are delayed, so we cant ship if we have no idea how long it will take. We had some etsy orders get refunded - so all overseas shipping has been removed from our etsy shop until further notice. I apologize for this - but shipping issues are out of my control, and we cant afford to eat the loss of these delays! I work REALLY hard at providing amazing customer service, but I cant control the post office!!

I think these are my favorite new charms!!! So cute! Im going to make myself earrings first.. just deciding on colour .. so pretty! #titanium #lasercut #chainmaille #madeinyxe #canadianmade #charm #skeleton #skeletonkey

Sorting out a whole tumbler full of new laser cut charms! This takes a couple hours... after a day of tumbling and getting pretty! New items on the website too! More photos to come tomorrow too! #titanium #lasercut #metaldesignz #newcharms #toggles #makechainmail

Ive added the LARGE paws to the website. These are cut in the thicker metal, so they are a little more sturdy for their size. Makes a perfect pendant to match the small paw earrings!

I didnt realize these were not posted yet! OOPS! Baby Scales - With the bigger hole! Enjoy!!!

Hahahaha. How true is this!

4 New sizes of 19g Stainless Steel rings have been added to the website! 19g 15/64", 19g 17/64", 19g 9/32" and 19g 5/16"

Wire anyone!?!? This is $12,000 worth of stainless steel. To order from a mill you have to be serious... but thats why our rings are the best!!! #chainmaille #stainless #stainlessrings

Our NEW AA order has just arrived Whoot!! Im marking missing items back in stock now! Some happy mistints will also be added as a few batches are less solid than we like!!

New Charm - Sold in pairs for all your Prairie people! These Wheat sheaf charms are pretty cool!!! Laser Cut Titanium!

If you want an awesome way to display your finished earrings and pendants using business cards - these cost effective punches work GREAT! I accidentally restocked them TWICE -so I have plenty in stock!!

USPS sounds like it is having huge issues. I just read some news articles that sorting equipment has been removed and mail is piling up. We have no control over delays. The past few months have been new across the world with postal delays.... so far all packages but one that we know of have made it safely or are still in transit. We appreciate your patience in waiting for your orders to arrive. We ship as fast as we can and we need to all work together waiting for things to make it safely! Thanks everyone! Canada post is still under incredible strain and delays as well. It seems like this is the new normal. :(

What an exhausting weekend! We did a yard sale which was VERY successful! Got rid of half our storage unit full of kids toys, clothes and books! Cleared out beads, delicas and findings! I managed to ship a handful of orders today. We will send a USA box tomorrow by the looks of the huge pile of orders!! We appreciate all you business and do our best to ship as quickly as we can. And locals need trade show fixtures... we have some left!!

Just a heads up! We are going on a camping trip the last week of August. Orders will be processed while we are gone... but all laser items or titanium or niobium anodizing will be delayed until we are back. This gives you a chance to order ahead of our trip... or to know there will be a possible delay! Thanks everyone! We appreciate our customers and look forward to some family time!

Sneak peek - not available yet -- prototype -- Sprinkle Donut!!

Stacking rings! Freshly polished in the tumbler. Being sized and bagged in preparation for possible fall shows. We are hopeful that the world will get back to some sort of normal. Someday. @sundogarts @artmarketcraftsale
