Have you ever seen those super satisfying scalemail videos? Have you ever wondered how you could re-create those in the cheapest way possible? Well, look no further...
These scaled arms are made by meticulously sewing, and later on lazily glue-ing, faux leather scales onto long satin gloves. These were made for and worn at Anthrocon 2022 because I needed something to cover up my bald people hands.
I'm not quite sure what to do with them as they're below my personal standard of quality so I'm not happy with the idea of selling them, but I won't be using them ever again, so, I dunno. I'll figure something out eventually.
While these were much more accessible than buying or learning to knit scalemail myself, their quality is nothing near real scalemail and thus that trade-off must be taken into account if you should ever be interested in making something like this yourself.
