DB18 Prize Archive - Silent Auction: Dragonscale Belt
Do not treat individual prize links (here) at static until after the prize has been won!!! (Sometimes prizes are added mid-run)
All DB Prize IDs for this year were obfuscated on the website, as we do not know them, they are all currently set to zero (except for 2)

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.
I am slowly but surely approaching being able to call myself a long-time watcher of Desert Bus, and as an avid maille weaver and someone who loves starting new projects it was only a matter of time before I joined the ranks of Craft-Along participants. While not struggling to write bios I lurk in DB chat or curse my hubris for yet again choosing to work with hard-tempered titanium, which while rewarding is an absolute pain.
