Thanks to the Breaking the Silence party that was after school, I can talk without guilt. =D That being said, I figure I might as well give you a report on how my metal work is going. Here's the short version: Skyrim Pendant: Still having technical difficultiesGlass Nuva Symbols: I'm currently making metal molds of the Gali and Tahu ones, which will let me make multiple versions of them. The other four are on the way, but at the rate they're taking, I probably won't have the proper molds until next school year. ._.Commissions: Waiting for the items to arrive in my mailbox. (*hintPotuhint*)

Embargos There are a few things I will flat-out refuse to do. Avoid at all costs: any rubbery pieces (i.e. Inika masks, Skakdi heads, etc)Launchers/Launcher ammoEhlek claw (tried already. Epic fail)Now that the list of doomed items is done … on with the rest! Metals BronzeWhite(resembles silver)Yellow (resembles gold)Ancient (resembles copper)Silver (limited supplies)Kanohi/Other Set Pieces I only do these in bronze; please specify if you want yellow, ancient, or white bronze in your piece. If I don’t have a certain piece in my possession (mostly referring to masks), you’ll need it sent to me on the condition that you won’t be getting the plastic version back. (If you do want it back, it’ll cost more since I need to make a mold.) Price Range: $10-17 Weapons Put in their own separate section since they take more time (bendy silver pieces don’t burn out very well), I can do these in bronze and possibly glass. (Please specify what coloration you would like for either: yellow, white, and ancient for bronze, and the variations for glass.) Again, if I don’t have the piece, you’ll have to mail it to me, but chances are you’ll get that one back. Price Range: $20-25 Rings I only do these in white bronze, since it’s too expensive for me and Mark to make silver ones. I have a set selection of things you can stick on top; the list will expand as I make more molds for them. I’ll need a ring size for this, so PM with your size when you send in the info; if you don’t know, I’ll tell you how to find out. Decorative Pieces: Nuparu Inika claw, Gahlok shield, Kohrak-Kal shield, Tahnok shield Price Range: $25-35 Miscellaneous Give me ideas, and I can probably try and make them reality; I’m already at work on molds for glass Nuva Symbols. This area can extend beyond Bionicle, but try to make them realistic. Price Range: ? (it all depends on the piece) Process I will only take three commissions in a certain period, since I have other personal projects I’m working on at the same time. The sign-up works on the basis of ‘First come, first served’ – no reserving spots for yourself; if you didn’t make it on, wait until the next commission session. If you make it on the list, PM what you want done, along with the details. I’ll keep you in the know as I work on it, and once I think it’s ready, I’ll send a picture or two of it. If you agree, we’ll settle the price, and then we can send them along. I’ll cover the shipping; my mom’s Paypal will be the method of payment. Thanks. =) Commission-ees DeeVeePotu

Enscribed Metal Guitar Pick (classmate): Completed White Bronze Noble Matatu (Zarayna): 70% complete; poured, but needs some work before I consider it done White Bronze Nuparu Claw Ring (classmate): Near-completion; have to prod Mark into finishing a crucial step White Bronze Gahlok Shield ring (teacher): Near-completion (come ON, Mark ...) Silver Skyrim Dragon Pendant (myself): Encountering technical difficulties Glass Nuva Symbols (a bunch of people): Prepping stage; working on molds for the glass So yeah ...

Apparently Mark cannot read labels written in black Sharpie written on silver duct tape wrapped around the investment can base. Because I clearly wrote "white bronze" on the label, and in response he poured yellow bronze instead. >.< I was hoping to finish Zarayna's commission within the next seven days and have it shipped out Saturday after this one, but apparently I'll need to put in a bit more work before that's possible.

So I'm actually doing what I've been toying with doing, and that's taking commissions for various Metals projects. The money will go to fund various things in real life (yes, Akaku, that includes Reach), so here's how it goes. Embargos There are a few things I will flat-out refuse to do.

At this point, I think my Ebay gambit is a lost cause. Not a single bid, so I'm a bit disappointed. However, I've got another chance at BrickCon, so I might find a buyer there. Anyway. Moving on from that little disaster, I'm thinking about starting to take commissons once the next semester starts at the end of January. I'd probably only take two at a time, since they take a while to make, but it'd be less hit-and-miss than Ebay would be. I could do Bohrak shield/Nuparu claw rings, and I'm thinking of starting glass pendants of various weapons, like Tahu's firesword or Lewa's air katana. If this sounds good, lemme know. In the meantime, I leave you with an idea of a possible non-Bionicle jewelry project: the metal dragon symbol picture that was on the cover of the latest Game Informer. (I'd link to it, but I can't find anything decent ...)

Some might recall a blog entry where I showed off a white-bronze ring with Kohrak-Kal's shield stuck on top. (I'm considering selling that ring; stay tuned for details.) Anyway, I have a new ring, this time with the claw piece from the Nuparu Inika set as the decoration. (Which is not for sale, sorry.) (Sorry about the hand-model; I needed my brother to wear it so I could get a decent shot.)

My great gamble on Ebay and my Kohrak-Kal ring is not going well. Two out of the ten days have gone by, and not a single bid. Granted, $35 bucks is a lot to start with, but .... *trails off, unsure*

So the Kohrak-Kal ring is now on Ebay. Here's the link, if you're interested. (The starting bid is a reflection of how much time and work I put into it. Mark appraised its value on Ebay at about $55, and at a convention like Brickcon it would be even more.) Also, I am sadface about the Bears beating the Seahawks. My only consolations about that will be that we upset the Saints and I'm hoping Green Bay will beat Chicago next weekend.

One Kohrak-Kal shield ring, solid white bronze, size 9, looking for a new home since its maker needs some extra cash. I'll see if I can link to it once me and my mom get things rolling. B) Anyway, for you guys yelling at me to get Live, it turns out I don't need an ethernet cable to hook myself up. I might handle it tomorrow ... or not.
