Meet the Artists Behind SilverWolf Crafts

Hi! I’m Jossette Dinsmore / Kensmen Muirgen SilverWolf, Owner and Crafter of SilverWolf Crafts.

Crafting has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My journey began in childhood, but it truly took shape when I was adopted, moved to Ohio, and discovered foam fighting. My mom suggested we sew outfits together—it was more affordable than buying them as I prepared for college—and this practical start became a passion. For years, I created my own outfits and helped others craft theirs, building a deep love for creativity and community.

Through foam fighting, I found the Kensmen, a group that introduced me to embroidery, illumination, and leather crafting. These new skills enriched my creative journey and laid the groundwork for what would later become SilverWolf Crafts.

When I met my husband, my path led me to Virginia. Soon after, I became a mom and realized I wanted to be present for my son’s early years. With my husband’s full support, I turned my crafting skills and hobbies into a business, driven by a passion for creating and helping others.

During the pandemic, I dedicated myself to making over 2,000 masks—some embroidered, many donated to the community. This period also sparked my interest in copper wire crafting, allowing me to refine my skills and create durable, beautiful works of art, even with toddlers and pets around!

Today, I personally craft wire, bone, leather, gemstone creations, and commissioned hand embroidery, as well as machine-sewn flags and children’s garb. James and I collaborate on digitizing and leatherwork, while Victoria Childress contributes her expertise in chainmail. Each piece we create reflects our love of nature, craftsmanship, and community.

James Dinsmore AKA Kensmen Morte the Redd, does all of our custom digitizing for beltflags and banners. He also enjoys leather crafting, so his hands are often part of every project. Occasionally he will make a copper wire tree and he is the core to our leather circlets. You will occasionally find him vending at shows on my behalf when he’s not home spending time with the kids. Because of his support in the business and with our children, we’ve been able to build SilverWolf Crafts into a family-centered endeavor. 

Victoria Childress aka Turweh ElvenWolf, does all of our custom chainmail including the chainmail dicebags, which you can enjoy watching her live on Tiktok. @Tictacsayuri.

Without her our family business would not have been complete. Becoming mothers around the same time, we learned the many passages of parenting together and continue to bond over the highs (first baby steps), lows (potty training) and everything in-between. She not only crafts chainmail but also is a major mental support for new ideas and can often be seen vending with me at shows, especially World Oddies Expos.
