Hi there, everyone! I'm Kat, the maker behind TempestMaille, a local business that creates handmade chainmail jewelry, one ring at a time. 🔗✨

I make a variety of items, including earrings, pendants, bracelets, anklets, necklaces, and more. I use a variety of materials, including bright aluminum for a bright silver look, anodized aluminum for dramatic color, and stainless steel for weight and stability. My pieces range from delicate chains to chunky statement pieces. 💎

I offer a range of ready-made pieces, but I love working on custom projects that test my skills and creativity. 🎨 My newest venture is offering private lessons and small workshops for anyone who has ever seen chainmail and thought, “I wish I knew how to make that!” 🛠️

One of my favorite parts of being local is getting to meet awesome people who enjoy handmade art and supporting small businesses in our community.

If you are interested in seeing my products, placing an order, finding me out in the wild, or learning how to make a piece (or several) for yourself, send me a message! 💌

Come out today and see me at R&R Kitchen and Taproom in Clinton, NC. They have great food and a warm atmosphere.

I went AWOL this past week, but I haven't been sitting around doing nothing.

This week has been busy without the camera. So far I have:

* Made 36 pairs of earrings
* Made 3 bracelets
* Sat down and preclosed at least 4 ounces of rings to keep production flowing
* Got a new keyboard, so I can work on the less than creative parts of owning a small business that I have put off.

I know that there is more that I've done, but this week blew by so fast that I have already forgotten what I did!

With Greensboro Pride Festival quickly approaching, every piece made and bit of preparation counts. Social media may have gotten away from me, but my pliers certainly did not!

Anyway, enough from me. Back to growing my hoard!

Things are getting seriously busy at my workbench with less than 23 days until Greensboro Pride! I've made some more progress on my secret piece, can you guess what it will be?

I had fun this weekend learning a new weave!

It is called Vertebrae, but in my shop you can find it under the name Reed. The segmented look reminds me of sections of a reed, and the slinky texture is a bonus.

This one took me an afternoon to figure out, and now I'm making a small selection to add to my shop. I'll leave a link in the first comment so you can get one for yourself!

For now I'm focusing on bracelets in this weave, but what other types of items would you like to see? Leave me a comment and let me know.

What do you think of this new design?

I took a little bit of a break over the weekend, but it's time to get back to work.

My to do list isn't very big this week, but it is important:

• Wait (somewhat patiently) for my new inventory to arrive
• Make a few pieces from a new weave I picked up over the weekend
• Put a lot more time into my secret project
• Cut and fold so many checkout bags

I enjoyed learning a new weave this weekend, but now I have to stop myself from trying to make one in every color.

There's a lot happening behind the scenes right now, and I'm looking forward to sharing some of it with you this week.

One task at a time, one ring at a time.

Help Me Choose!

I'm curious... if you walked into my booth at Greensboro Pride and had to choose one color for your newest piece of chainmail jewelry, what would it be?

Would you go for:

Black
Silver
A bright color
A Pride-inspired color combination
Or something completely unexpected?

Let me know your favorite in the comments! I'm always curious to see which colors people gravitate toward, and your answers might even inspire something that ends up on my workbench.

Workbench Wednesday looks a little different today.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is know when to step away for a bit.

After a busy couple of weeks, I took today to rest my hands and refocus so I can work at my best going forward.

There's still plenty waiting for me when I get back to the bench, including my new Pride project that I can't wait to share more of as it takes shape.

Handmade means putting a lot of time, patience, and yes, sometimes sore hands into every piece. Taking care of the person behind the pliers is part of the process too.

The rings will still be waiting for me tomorrow.

New Product Alert!

One of my goals last week was to make a dozen keychains, and I ended up making 15!

These little turtles are a fun way to take a bit of chainmaille with you wherever you go. They're small, lightweight, and make a great addition to your keys, bag, or backpack.

I love getting to make pieces in different sizes and styles, and these were especially fun to put together. They're also coming along with me as part of my Greensboro Pride inventory!

If you want to take a closer look, they're available in my online shop. I'll add the link in the comments.

What would you put one of these little turtles on—your keys, a bag, or somewhere else?

It's Monday, which means it's time to visualize my weekly goals as the countdown to Greensboro Pride continues!

I am focusing on finalizing updating my inventory so it is event ready, doing more work on the website, and starting a secret project.

My goals:

• Recard my pendant inventory and get it ready for the display.
• Update a product listing every day.
• Start my first large piece that will debut at Greensboro Pride.

That last one is something I'm super stoked to get started on. There will be sneak peeks over the next few weeks, but the finished piece will be on display at Pride. Make sure to stop by the booth that day to see it for yourself!
