This one is for a friend's birthday! Really struggling to get the brass bezels closed on the round stones
That’s a really cool design! You did good work and should feel proud.

You can tap it for one blue mana.
This is really beautiful!
Is it weird that I enjoy the empty space as much as the filled space? Good work!
Not at all, good use of negative space and substraction are a thing in design.
Great, now pick it up off the goddamm floor!
Hahaha it's the place with the best lighting for pictures
Lightboxes are pretty easy to build, and can be done under $20 if you already have a few lamps or a very bright window
Anyway, your art is neat!
So sleek! Love the turquoise color with the brass! What stones did you use?
The drop is labradorite and the round stones are kyanite!
Very cool. Does it mean or represent anything or is it just a style you went for? I had weird deja vu of stuff found in fantasy games.
This design isn't based off anything in particular! I'd originally wanted to do a drop of water falling into rippling brass wire, but couldn't find a way to incorporate the kyanites in a way that didn't look silly to me. So, I went back to the drawing board and figured out how I wanted the stones arranged and then sketched designs out from that. It gives me playing card vibes, completely unintentionally haha
I didn't see the playing card look until now. But it looks like something symbolic, even if it isn't. I guess the wearer can make something up if they want.
Very cool. It hints at a stylized Ace of Spades but is beautifully abstract.
It looks so nice! I'm sure they loved it
For no reason in world when I saw the thumbnail I though of Prince.... Take that as you will. Reverence.
Beautiful!!
Stylish and lovely!
If you made another, what light you charge?
I think I'd make it a bit smaller and square instead of rectangular. I think I'd make the ends of the square wire meet in the middle of of an edge instead of on a corner, and put the wire on top of the sheet instead of below it. I'd also like to make the loop out of the same piece of wire, instead of a seperate one soldered on!
I’ll be watching!
