I’m bored so I joined the channel. Hey SPark! 😀 I’ve always wondered how one goes about using IRC… now I know! Thank you.

I’ve done earrings, bracelets, keychains, slave bracelets, knights chains and a coif… The person I did the coif for wants a shirt, but I’ve been putting him off for years… Coif was one thing, but a full shirt?!? eep… lol… The easiest way I’ve found to incorporate beads into it is A) use them as dangles, or B) leave a gap in your weave and use a piece of wire with a hook at each end. Needless to say, the dangles are easiest! lol…
That’s so neat… I tried making chainmail once and failed miserably at it. Think I had the wrong materials and followed the wrong tutorial… haha. But I did buy a chainmail slave chain at the Renaissance Fair. I love it. It’s like a normal bead bracelet on steroids. People see it and go “Dude.. that is a KILLER bracelet.” Haha!
I think that’s pretty spiffy! 😀 The only thing I don’t like is how the bottom plaster wing feathers meld with the real ones… it’s a bit of a contrast. But otherwise I think this is awesome.

We were going to but the camera isn’t here! Dang it!
And, I KNOW, Drag0n! Someday we WILL have a Windstone convention. That would be so much fun!
Nam, I gotta say, I spent yesterday afternoon drooling over your pendants. They’re just gorgeous! Especially the ammonite one…
Labradorite is my favorite stone. I have a ring with labradorite in it that I hardly ever take off… I like it because it’s so plain looking in normal light, but tilt it right in the sun and bam! Bluuuue!
I’ve been trying to make jewelry out of clock gears. 😀 So far I’ve only done one bracelet, which I need to get decent pictures of. I slaughtered a cuckoo clock in order to get the gears… it was very, very fun. I need to get another one so I can keep experimenting!
Hah! Actually, I would love to have an excuse to RP… but I never wanted to suggest something like that because of copyright stuff. My mom would get mad at me. 😆 So I guess it wouldn’t work, but… it’s neat to see someone who’s interested in doing that sort of thing. High five!

You’re welcome.
I will have to get used to it, too. Im glad I have almost everything. I wonder if the increase is because of inflation?
Inflation plus what Wolflodge100 said. If I understand correctly, the price increase meets mostly with inflation–so they aren’t really THAT much more expensive, they only SEEM that way.
Thanks for not ditching us! 😆

Dear Julia,
Windstone Edition just annouced a price increase. We will hold our prices until Sunday if we can. We will then need to raise our prices. Example of the price increase Emperor Dragon in black gold is $299 until the end of week. The price next week will be $344.85Really? No one’s told me! 🙁
If you’re on our mailing list you should recieve a letter and price list shortly. We sent them out last Friday, I think. (At least I know we STUFFED them last Friday… *wipes sweat off brow*) You must just be farther away than Grandio…
Salmon cooked in…what was it… brandy? Yes, brandy. It was DELICIOUS.
Raw fish (yellowtail in particular) is also surprisingly good… I had no idea until I tried it. It tastes the exact opposite of what you expect!
…. Wow. Those are amazing. Thing is, if I were ever to get one, I’d only want the head. I hate ball-jointed dolls… just don’t like the way they’re put together… but I’d love to have a head!
They ARE exceedingly creepy. (That’s probably the only reason I like them. :D) SPark, if you ever get one, I want to see it!
