Fanbinding of Gilded Chain by Sroloc_Elbisivni

Gilded Chain by Sroloc_Elbisivni

The throne of Iacon's Primes is draped in golden chains. The glitter hides how strong they are--and how impossible to escape.

Fandom: Transformers - All Media Types Rating: Teen And Up Archive Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationship: Megaton/Optimus Prime Characters: Megatron, Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Ravage Words: 3,710

I typeset Gilded Chain for the 2023 Renegade Tiny Book Bang, way back in August. Another member claimed the typeset and bound me a fabulous tiny book. However, while all of that was going on, I was also struck with a vision of a book in gold chains. It took me a while to puzzle out how to make this happen, but here we are now. This is now the second copy of Gilded Chain I have sitting on my shelf!

Here are some exterior shots. I embedded the eyepins in layers of thin cardboard, so they were sunk down into the covers instead of above/below/beside:

The endbands match up well with the chains despite being thread:

With a name like "Gilded Chain", I had to go ham with gold every place I could fit it in, which also includes the endpapers, the frontispiece, and the interior title:

On the inside I wanted to continue the them of ostentatious luxury, so the dropcaps are very elaborate. And the textbreaks are thematically appropriate chains:

So, this is a tiny book, letter-octavo sized. I have a terrible time telling how big are books in photos, so I'm experimenting with some comparisons:

Obviously the ruler is most accurate, but the shell is aesthetically appealing :)

I'm thrilled to have pulled of this cover! There was a lot of fucking around and finding out. @sroloc--elbisivni has their copy and has graciously allowed me to share with everyone online. Thank you wonderful author! I greatly enjoy this story, hopefully a bit of fanart tells you how much!

DIY Hot Glue Charms

originally posted to www.onlyfunthings.org on June 29, 2017

Ciao lovelies! Today, we'll be making hot glue charms!

For these charms, all you will need is hot glue, a flat clean silicone/nonstick surface, lotion, eyepins, glitter, nail polish, paint, and any other desired decor.

The basic process of making these charms is the same for each type. Use the lotion to grease our surface. Lay an eyepin down on the surface. Use hot glue to create your desired shape over the eyepin. Wait until it completely dries and peel it off your surface. Add more glue over the eyepin on the other side to secure it.

For charms with beads in them, add the beads while the glue is still wet. For glitter charms, add the glitter while the glue is still wet.

Once the charms are all dry, paint them with nail polish or paint. It's that easy! You can use this method to make charms of whatever you want!

Will you be making these charms? Let us know in the comments!

Hi Lailoken! The spirits told me to craft my own amulet and though I'm new at this I want it to be sturdy. What would you recommend? Do you make your own eyepins or are the store bought ones strong enough? Which wire strength have you found best? Thanks!

It's tricky to make across the board suggestions, as I often experiment or use different kinds of materials in my work. That being said, though, I do make my own eye-pins, and I generally use wire that is between 20 gauge and 24 gauge, depending on the project.

Good luck!

enlisted to data entry once again, grading hundreds of shellac discs. the spreadsheet, a corridor of white magician’s cutting boxes waiting to be stuffed with text bodies. with the rote flutter of the fingers, the inspective flip, i briefly lose myself in an opaque stygian mirror, obsidian undressed before the light, nostalgia for the first fire. the sun is a distant home, an energetic locality, it seems to be the center and the ends for us, but it’s one of many. this makes me recall how i came up with shellac samsara as a facetious ingroup concept, the cyclic grooves that entrench the record freak, the desire for attainment, hearing to home yourself back to hereness, whose creation cannot be isolated from the totality of its consequential net. dangling a galaxy, i look into the core of the disc, the ocular black hole that whittles to an eyepin, the light waiting on the other side. each recording, each index of something once seeking freedom in the elongation of time and space, the dimming stretch of duration, hangs its referents in an orbital dance. how rich that the nominal grazes distortion beyond any originary intelligibility, the flash of a dying color to be swept outside the passage of light. how suggestive and slightly dangeorus, the idea of a future fable in the label.

my tongue gets at noticing along the edge of sight, lacrimal salt like seadrops. i found the symbolic grace, the universal gift peeking from a brown paper crevice, the darkening interior of the record sleeve, the golden bands in my lost rutilated quartz! the tiny rock i was happy to carry in close pockets, milksmoke diaphane, ridgeless to touch, softening me in moments of pique until it vanished a few months ago. only by real work would i recover what has been lost. the allowance to enjoy the accomplishments without stalling yourself to shame and undue humility, looking away when virtues are inverted to vices. against sleepless nights of torment, now sent to wade the evidence of inspired lives and meetings in hairlines, fragile invisibility. chasing the clarifying time that comes whenever i orient the disc to the right angle of reflection, making the lustre uniform, noting with finality the gravity of its wear. at the beginning, the sound shrinks down from total whiteness into a stable, caught hearability. resin lineage, turning eternal.

Essential Jewelry Supplies: A Guide for Crafting Enthusiasts

Creating unique and personalized jewelry pieces is a rewarding and fulfilling hobby for many enthusiasts. Whether you're a seasoned jewelry maker or just starting out, having the right supplies is essential for bringing your creative vision to life. Here's a guide to the essential jewelry supplies you'll need to embark on your crafting journey.

Beads and Gemstones:

Beads and gemstones are the building blocks of most jewelry designs. From sparkling crystals to colorful glass beads and natural gemstones, the possibilities are endless. Choose beads and gemstones in various shapes, sizes, and colors to add depth and dimension to your creations.

Jewelry Findings:

Jewelry findings are essential components that help you assemble and finish your jewelry pieces. This includes items such as clasps, jump rings, ear wires, headpins, and eyepins. These findings come in a variety of materials, including sterling silver, gold-filled, copper, and brass, allowing you to customize your designs to suit your style.

Tools:

Investing in quality jewelry-making tools is crucial for achieving professional-looking results. Some essential tools include wire cutters, chain-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, crimping pliers, and bead mats. These tools will help you manipulate wire, open and close jump rings, and secure clasps with precision and ease.

Wire and Stringing Materials:

Wire and stringing materials are essential for creating structure and support in your jewelry designs. Beading wire, such as tiger tail or soft flex wire, is ideal for stringing beads and creating durable necklaces and bracelets. Additionally, consider adding materials like leather cord, silk thread, or stretch cord to your collection for versatile design options.

Jewelry Making Kits:

For beginners or those looking for convenience, jewelry making kits are an excellent option. These kits typically contain all the necessary supplies and instructions to create specific jewelry projects, such as earrings, bracelets, or necklaces. Kits can be a great way to learn new techniques and experiment with different styles.

Storage and Organization:

Keeping your jewelry supplies organized is essential for maintaining a tidy and efficient workspace. Invest in storage solutions such as bead organizers, storage bins, and jewelry trays to keep your beads, findings, and tools neatly organized and easily accessible.

Inspiration and Creativity:

While having the right supplies is crucial, don't forget to nurture your creativity and seek inspiration from the world around you. Explore different jewelry-making techniques, experiment with new materials, and let your imagination guide you as you create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces that reflect your unique style and personality.

Whether you're a hobbyist or aspiring professional, having the right jewelry supplies is essential for creating beautiful and unique jewelry pieces. By investing in quality materials, tools, and storage solutions, you can unleash your creativity and bring your jewelry-making visions to life with confidence and ease.

How to Make a Wire-Linked Necklace (Beginner Level)

Guided by: V. Z., a freelance jewelry artist of 2.5 years.

Materials:

Wire, eyepins, or headpins in any color of your choice. Some common options offered may be silver toned or plated, or gold toned or plated. You can also opt for pure steel or sterling silver options. Beads. For the example necklace, you will need at least 24 beads larger than 8mm in diameter.

Round nosed pliers+ wire cutters/One step looper

Jump rings (in color and size of choice. I used 4mm and 6mm in the example.)

Clasp (in color and size of choice)

Accent beads or charms (optional)

Step One

Take your wire, place a bead on it, and use your pliers to make a round loop on both sides. Cut where necessary and as according to your style. Take your pliers and push together any gap that may be left behind. When finished, you should possess a bead with two secure wire loops sticking out from either side.

Repeat this process with all beads until you have finished looping all beads.

Step Two

When finished looping and securing all beads, open your jump rings with your pliers and fingers on each side (or, if you bruise easily, another tool or a hard surface.)

Attach each jump ring in between two beads. If you have a pendant piece, you can easily attach a third to sit in the middle of two sides.

Repeat until the body of the necklace is finished.

Step Three

Attach the clasp, using a jump ring. Attach a second jump ring on the other side to close your clasp with for convenience. You can also attach a toggle clasp or other alternate clasp..

Step Four (Optional Accents)

place your completed necklace on a model or stand, and attach any accents sitting flush and naturally to the bottom most loop your can find; this is key to having your accents sit the same when in use versus during construction. They should not be upside down, uneven, or backwards. If you are having an issue with the rotation of a charm or pendant, consider attaching a bail (not pictured) to the top of the charm. This should make things sit flush and flat.

Step Five

Celebrate, because you completed your first necklace!
