I wanted to make a straightforward dice bag out of scales. I made one once before as a commission (here it is, and here it is again), but it was fancier than it needed to be, and the design had some quirks to it that not everyone would have wanted.

Rather than pointing down away from the opening, the scales face horizontally and spiral around the pouch. This is to allow it to close more easily; the chainmail weave with the scales in it is easily collapsed in this direction. If it was done with them pointing away from the opening, the bag really wouldn't be able to sinch up properly.

Scales and rings are stainless steel. I plan on making some number more of these to sell at a convention full of LARPers that I'll be vending at in late February. I'll also post them up for sale online shortly, but I need to take a few more nice photos and set a price first.
