Alchemy Metal-Wear by Rieder Design Ltd (ad in White Dwarf 70, October 1985). Rieder also produced a small line of 25mm fantasy miniatures, the "Dungeon Dwellers" mentioned in the lower left of this ad. Rieder sometimes misspelled their own name as "Reider," as seen in their address here. (previously)

Hand-cast Pewter :D

Okay so I *wanted* to launch this design under better cirucmstances, but hecc, i am still celebrating xD

BEHOLD. A HANDCAST EAR CUFF AND SPARKLY PENDANT! Note the design on the pendant.... :eyes:

Recognize it? Probably not, it's pretty abstracted, but that design is directly inspired off the two-stroke engine/carborator on my Speedbird BP48-S moped.

That's right. It's NERDY VEHICLE INSPIRED art. I'm predictable I know xD

My friend put it together with the lovely malachite beads and red glass. These two are actually ones I meant to keep for myself, but since they're the only two ready at the moment, up for sale they go!

Here's the red glass version;

I'm starting to post my own original artwork to my Etsy store! Please feel free to check it out, even if you don't choose to shop <3

Smilodon is ready for silicone tomorrow and I’m going to see if I can get the gem eyed wolf set up for it too before I quit for the night.

Pewter Arrowhead Commission

Woohoo! All finished and packed up for mailing... forgot to take a photo of it actually on the black cotton cord, but here's the project in reverse order.

Final version:

The texture was achieved via three methods; sculpting it right into the clay master (some detail got lost in sculpting both sides); using a dremel with a drill bit to scour some of the 'knapped' spots deeper; and finally, after it was cast and sanded up, I took it to a suitable anvil (in other words the vulcanizer machine that weights a gagillion pounds) and applied percussive creativity.

Aka: I smacked the shit out of it with a hammer. Artfully. XD

And somehow, I managed *not* to bust the loop or dent it too badly. I made three casts I deemed fit enough to take to the finishing stages; I ended up only needing to work one of them over and it was this one :D (the other two got melted right back into the smelter)

(more below the cut)

Here it is right before being polished, fresh from being beat the heck up:

And in the sculpting phase:

I don't have permission to share the original photos of the arrowhead I made a replica of, but the biggest difference is the loop and the texture; I also added a little medicine wheel to one side (which the client wanted to keep; it was placed in a spot wherein if they didn't like it, i could have sanded it smooth and none would be the wiser heehee).

I didn't get what i'd call a perfect replica xD but i think I honored the spirit of the original design well, and while my stone knapped texture isn't mark-for-mark, it still worked out awesome. In any case my client is pleased, so I'll call this a success.

Interested in having your own custom one-of-a-kind pewter pendant sculpted and cast in pewter? DM me :D Commissions for a custom sculpt start at $100, which covers my time and materials (mold silicone & pewter being the biggest two expenses, and then little resource uses in polishing mediums, packing, etc).

I also have drawing commissions open, here! They start at $10 for black and white drawings and go up.

Birthday presents:

Gaz plans out an entire day. From the moment you wake up to when you go to bed. Doing all of your favorite things, going to your favorite places, punctuated by snacks and meals at your favorite restaurants and cafes. And you get a teddy bear, that’s the rule. Every major gift occasion must come with a teddy bear.

Soap buys you something you had no idea you needed. Something you end up using every day. Something perfect. And on top of that, he makes you in insanely complex card. He’s one of those freaks who feel down the card making rabbit hole, so now he has a die cutter, embossing folders, about a million stamps and colors of ink, embossing powder in every color, etc.

Ghost becomes your personal chef for the day. Literally anything you want. As long as it doesn’t contain anything endangered, he will cook it. And he’ll take you with him to get all the ingredients— have a nice drive, buy you all your special snacks you can’t get at your usual store. He does require that if you want a stew or slow cooked meal, or something with marinade, you do have to notify him 24 hours in advance. He also gets you a children’s birthday card and crosses out the number on it with marker and writes your age. “Congratulations birthday girl, you’re 6 25!”

Price gets you a new charm for your charm bracelet, and a nice classy piece of jewelry. Something simple, beautiful, and personal. Engraved, of course. And a beautiful cake from the nicest bakery you know— even if it’s in another country (Nik owes him).

König gets you, first of all, an enormous assortment of chocolate. I think he takes a lot of pride in the quality of Austrian and German chocolate. Probably also commissions a custom medallion from his favored chocolatier. Besides that, he plans a getaway. Somewhere you can go and just not be bothered for a week or so. He often feels guilty about how much time you spend apart, so he takes every opportunity to try to make it up.

Nikolai just gives you a good old fashioned shopping spree. Anything for his gorgeous darling malýshka. And in any country you want as long as it has non-hostile airspace. You really can go shopping in Milan, Paris, and New York City in the same day if you want. That’s what you get for dating a pilot!

Rudy gets you the nicest version whatever it is that you use. If you like nail polish or lipstick, he’ll get you Charlotte Tillbury. If you like silver (in jewelry or houseware) he’ll get Tiffany. If you like pewter he’ll get Royal Selangor. It’s always something very nicely made and/or something that will last a very long time.

Nikto will get you something impossibly sentimental. Say, for example, that you lamented to him about your favorite childhood stuffed animal that had been lost when you’d had a small house fire, or when you’d cut ties with your family. You will wake up on your birthday to that exact make and model of stuffed animal, no longer how long ago you lost it, doesn’t matter if it’s no longer produced. He will perform minor miracles for you.
