How did it all start?  Ulf had an idea, that's how!

     In 1998, Ulf had an idea to make a pewter membership medallion for a friend's Viking Re-Enactment group.  He had the idea, and thought I could find a way to make it happen.

     We worked diligently at it for a few months and, sure enough, it did.  We both ended up joining the group and quickly started learning other crafts from the Viking Age and Renaissance time periods.

    We started to learn the craft of chain mail armor, continued doing custom pewter work, and started finding sources for medieval weaponry for the group we were a part of.  Before we knew it we had people offering to buy stuff from us left and right.

     So Ulf and I sat down and decided to become an official company in September 2000 and take a booth to the Great Plains Renaissance Festival in Wichita, KS.  We had to come up with a name and decided to go with one of the first things we created, the Dragon's Tear keychain, becoming DragonTear Creations.

Now we travel around to special events of all kinds: Renaissance Festivals, Craft Fairs, Street Fairs & Celtic Festivals.  A few years ago we decided to take our store online as well, so here we are.

     Ulf has moved on to take care of some other dreams. My wife, Kat, and I have taken over the company.  We have started a path towards expansion, growth, creativity and fun together that encompasses DragonTear and its ideals entirely.  Because of this we hope you enjoy doing business with DragonTear Creations!

     See you at the Fair,
