Mythica metalworks

Inspired by myth, folklore, and ancient worlds

Who are we?

Mythica Metalworks began with my love for both mythology and the traditional art of metalworking. I’ve spent over 10 years creating unique jewelry pieces and accessories that incorporate chainmaille and other historically-inspired techniques. Each piece is thoughtfully named to tell an ancient legend or story from around the world, and my hope is that they’ll travel with you as you create your own life’s narrative.     

Molly Whitaker

Founder & Artist

  • Along with restocks of the Pride collection and birthstone pieces, I’ll have a trio of one of my personal favorites the Matariki Necklace with anodized titanium ball bearings in the booth this weekend. Come early to get your favorite color! Find us the remaining 3 weekends at @washingtonfaire in Snohomish County, WA just outside Monroe.

  • Phew, it is taking me a while to recover from this one. Thank you, Oregon Ren Faire! You were quite the rollercoaster this year with an evacuation due to lightning, and the unfortunate demise of my canvas roof due to a falling tree branch. You also brought some of the absolute loveliest patrons and friendliest folks we could ever ask for! As always, I couldn’t do this without your support of my little business. We hope to see many of you at WMRF in July & August!

  • A huge thank you to everyone who visited us at @renaissancepleasurefaire over the weekend, it was our best weekend EVER here! It was so busy I didn’t get any new photos, so I thought I’d do a throwback comparison. From humble beginnings on two tables in a shared booth in 2015 to where I am today, I’m so thankful for all the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from you all over the years. I couldn’t do this without you!

  • Hi all! I don’t often share non-business content here, but I’m dealing with a tough situation that is impacting my work and I could use some extra support. Due to a leak coming from a water pipe in the yard of my rental, my work space (and living room) have been water damaged to the point where I’m unable to access them for at least a week, likely longer. They’re currently using industrial fans and dehumidifiers 24/7 for 7 days to try and dry the foundation and carpets before any repairs and mold removal can begin. I’ve set up a desk in my laundry room, but it’s not easy to transfer many of my tools and equipment into a tiny space. I am losing my ability to work efficiently during a critical time of year when I build stock for upcoming events. I have plenty of jewelry and cut-to-order chains available for sale RIGHT NOW in my Etsy shop (link in bio)! If you’ve been thinking about buying now would be a great time to show your support. If you’ve seen something at an event you don’t see online, message me! I have more stock (especially precious metals and gemstones) that is not yet photographed. I can also take custom orders for scalemaille tops and pauldrons, and most of my jewelry designs. Thank you for reading this and helping to keep my little business afloat. 🙏

A huge thank you to everyone who visited us at @renaissancepleasurefaire over the weekend, it was our best weekend EVER here! It was so busy I didn’t get any new photos, so I thought I’d do a throwback comparison. From humble beginnings on two tables in a shared booth in 2015 to where I am today, I’m so thankful for all the incredible support and encouragement I’ve received from you all over the years. I couldn’t do this without you!

Hi all! I don’t often share non-business content here, but I’m dealing with a tough situation that is impacting my work and I could use some extra support. Due to a leak coming from a water pipe in the yard of my rental, my work space (and living room) have been water damaged to the point where I’m unable to access them for at least a week, likely longer. They’re currently using industrial fans and dehumidifiers 24/7 for 7 days to try and dry the foundation and carpets before any repairs and mold removal can begin. I’ve set up a desk in my laundry room, but it’s not easy to transfer many of my tools and equipment into a tiny space. I am losing my ability to work efficiently during a critical time of year when I build stock for upcoming events. I have plenty of jewelry and cut-to-order chains available for sale RIGHT NOW in my Etsy shop (link in bio)! If you’ve been thinking about buying now would be a great time to show your support. If you’ve seen something at an event you don’t see online, message me! I have more stock (especially precious metals and gemstones) that is not yet photographed. I can also take custom orders for scalemaille tops and pauldrons, and most of my jewelry designs. Thank you for reading this and helping to keep my little business afloat. 🙏
