Gauntlet Series: Gods of the Ages


Each gauntlet is handcrafted, and made for adjustable and comfortable wear. They are inspired by gods of greek mythology (one being a self made name, not relavent to the lore) and adorned with swavorski crystals. They are combined with anodized aluminum in an array of colors and designs accented with stainless steel black and silver scales that have been handpolished for a powerful glow. These pieces are connected with handmade galvanized links for flexibility and serpent/dragon hide like feel.

Steam Powered Beauty


These pieces are more into the style of Steampunk- old fashioned and have a unique feel of clockworks and feather.

Steel Elegance


Chainmaille is a great and old style in jewelry and crafting. Below are links to my deviations that are in relation to this craft. All galvanized steel (silver) links are created by me and cut by hand to ensure the best quality and comfort. I've also dabbled in making colored links.

Whimsical Wire Wrapping


I also do my own wrapped pieces with galvanized wire to create unique and stylish pieces. I do not use adhesives or anything, all designs are freefloating.

:damphyr::bulletblack: I am known by Nikida Eve or Sam.
:damphyr::bulletred:I am a realist that has a knack for my craft. It's art therapy and a way of life more than just metal and wire.
:damphyr::bulletorange: I love self education and learning as I go, so please leave some feedback, or say hello.
:damphyr::bulletyellow:I'm a gamer nut with an addictive personality and passion. I tend to be overly emotional (not just weepy but happy, anger, apprehensive, all of that is in extreme doses) but I am driven, a hermit, and slightly neurotic.
:damphyr::bulletgreen: I am the Steel Madien of Gemslots LLC.
:damphyr::bulletblue: I am always open for commissions.
:damphyr::bulletpurple: am a "lore whore". I love history, but have a terrible memory, so my passions come in spurts when my short attention span will allow me to focus on that time period's events.
:damphyr::bulletpink:I give out alot of llamas. You don't have to give them back, I just like spreading the llama cheer.
:damphyr::bulletblack: but they are appreciated!
:damphyr::bulletred:Note or visit my Etsy for details for international shipping prices.
:damphyr::bulletorange: I am always willing to talk shop, designs, and socialize, but I will not make tutorials. I have dabbled in them before, but I'm such a perfectionist and tinker with each design, that it's too tedious to keep up with updates on new designs, and resolving issues with old ones. I'm more than willing to guide you in the right directions, and will help best to my ability, but I am self taught. My methods may not be the quickest or the most efficient, but I take major pride in my work.
:damphyr::bulletyellow: Critiques and/or criticism is highly encouraged. Nice comments are beautiful things, but I have a competitive personality. I tend to want to "one up" or "show up" naysayers who don't believe I can do it.
:damphyr::bulletgreen: I am a workaholic.


:damphyr::bulletblue:deviantWEAR sizing preference: Small
:damphyr::bulletpurple:I also have an Etsy: www.etsy.com/shop/Gemslots

Exhausted? Time to cut out the caffeine

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 3, 2013, 4:49 PM
Recently I've noticed changes in my diet and consumption had me feeling subpar. I've noticed my energy is limited, constantly exhausted, and just having issues with pains in my sides and feeling like my blood is molasses.

On top of this, I drink an energy drink every morning, and then flush with like 2 liters of water a day. But it feels like I'm on the verge of kidney stones-kind of pains in my side. Then I went looking up the side effects of prolonged, constant use (I really drink the same amount everyday down to opening the can at the same time) is really taking a toll on me. Sadly, even put on a few pounds because I'm not big into sugar, and this is definitely taxing.

So after the last 10 I just got (for the next 2 weeks at work, if I don't give them away sooner) are consumed, I'm starting my whole new initiative to eat a little better, and recoup. I'm to the point my asthma is even making it hard to breathe I'm that out of shape. Not with excess weight, but with no drive, or exertion other than the running I do at work.

Yay goals? I hope I can stick with it more than 3 weeks...
Also, not going back to coffee, only the occasional one with my weekend breakfast excursions. I don't want a crutch.
Plus it'd save so much money and let me sleep in an extra 10 minutes in the morning

also, buy something from me. Keep me busy and my mind off my withdrawals!
