As someone who studies jewellery and silversmithing (first year, so I’m no expert. yet :D) I think it’s unlikely to make one as detailed as Lestat’s and yet keep it at reasonable price. The design is very filigree indeed. But I’ll keep this in mind for next year’s workshop time, and let you know if I come up with something. (Also, in what way is yours fragile? Pewter generally is quite study.)

OMG A JEWELRY PERSON! [re: Lestat’s thumb ring] This was exactly what I was hoping for, that a jewelry person would see that post! I want to take hot jewelry classes so bad omg

(I can do coldworking w/ beads and wire, might try to sell those here at some point).

It could be done with moldmaking. You’d make a master ring with all the filligree detail (tbh idk how filligree is applied) and then cast copies of it in an affordable but durable metal. Maybe mine isn’t pewter, that’s what I thought it was, like those little figurines you get at Renaissance Faires… (like the dragon here) but if pewter is strong, then mine might not be pewter bc it has at least one hairline crack in it as you can seeee 😛

Yes, keep it in mind for next year’s workshop, message me privately, I could help come up w/ a design that might be easier to make. Like I said, I headcanon that Lestat has a lot of these, so it doesn’t need to be identical to the one in the movie ^______^

YES WE WANT ACTION FIGURES PLZ *grabby hands*

She wants “mass produced and readily available action figures …that might pass for Lestat, so that anyone could have one for a few bucks” !!! Anne, do you know how much Barbies cost these days? More than “a few bucks” but still, I like where she’s going with this.

There was a post that went around about a month ago re: VC action figures, here are some of the responses on it:

Heat-Sensitive Mug Shows the Northern Lights When You Pour in Hot Liquid

It’s not hard to find a heat-changing mug that displays an impressive picture, but this design really reaches for the sky. ThinkGeek recently released a $15 mug that reveals the aurora borealis, the astronomical event often called the northern lights. When empty, the outside of the ceramic cup shows a blank night sky—but add a little coffee, and the mug brightens right up. The heat from your beverage causes a stream of vibrant green colors to appear along the container’s side. (Source)

reblogged your photoset and added:

If I had the money, it would all be mine in a heartbeat.

What we need to do is pool our resources and buy all of this stuff from whoever has it currently and then make a museum out of it. Supervised touching of everything is allowed provided you wash your hands first.
