ABOUT

My real-life name is Elizabeth Parker, but online I am generally found under the alias ArmoredDrake.  I've been learning about maille since I went to my first Renaissance faire in October 2003, for my thirteenth birthday.  I saw a hauberk there, and my dad convinced me to try making one for myself.  Well, I didn't start right off with a shirt, but I did have a pair of vambraces completed within a couple weeks.  I then moved on to a coif, then some jewelry, then my first habergeon, and then...well, as you can see, the hobby took off.

I started at Grand Valley State University as a Classics / Mathematics major in the fall of 2008 and since then haven't had as much opportunity as I would like to work on new projects.  As a result, this site hasn't been getting much attention.  I hope to have a couple more updates before the end of summer, but I doubt there will be much in the way of new and drastic for the foreseeable future.

I've received many inquiries as to whether I sell my things off this site.  Well, yes and no; obviously I don't have a shopping cart system set up, but if you see something you like, go ahead and give my inbox some love:
