What workshops do? I couldn't think of any.

I think it's either the ashery or the dyer's workshop, maybe both.  I know one of those also uses a bucket.  There may be another, but I can't think of it right now.

try dyer's shops. (or whichever one is for dying cloth)

[Martin]

Both ashery and dyer shops use a bucket. I'm not aware of any other that does.

I had an Olivine sceptre with an image of itself engraved on it. I'm not even sure how that works... fractal engraving?

I have one like that too:



It's even the right material! (This was the first artifact ade in my current fort)

The image is in iron because that was the only material used in its construction.

On the subject of buckets, wells use them as well.

Well, today I got a artifact door, I know it's going into my dining room, but even without engraving, or smoothing, it was already legendary . I already smoothed it though, and maybe going to engrave it, but my door is going to go nicely, should prevent tantrums for a while .

Yesterday my Mayor made an Orpiment crown....not so unsual,you say?
It's called "Bentlaw".Oh,the irony...

Among other things i had a platinum axe with a picture of itself on it....and then a sword with a picture of the axe on it....kinda makes you wonder how small can they engrave them?

[flabort]

i don't know, but i saw a theory somewhere that self-refrential engravings are diagrams of how they made it. can't remember were it was, though.

[Wizardmon]

Interesting that it was my clothier who made this.

[Porpoisepower]

Not Strange exactly. But i had a Cabinet that was made of charcoal.
and it had a very fine image of Dwarves TAUNTING elves in soap.

(oh dear, it makes it sound like the elves are encased in soap).

It's a shame that it wasn't an image of elves in charcoal, because then it would be like elves encased in carbon(ite)

the chrysopraise is just a large gem. all artifacts get one decoration in the base material, so it gets one decoration in chrysopraise. ive gotten 2 gem artifacts so far in my current fort, a perfect saphire and a saphire ring. the ring was called "the rage of killers" and it menaces with spikes of saphire. ive hidden it away in an iron bin in my kings tomb so i can come back and get it as an adventurer and punch people in the face while wearing it. talented gemcutters will sometimes make large gems or gem crafts as a byproduct, which can give you neat things like solid black diamond cups.

as for artifacts, i have a lay pewter shoe which has a picture of a goblin being killed by a sasquatch. just one lay pewter shoe, ive forgotten which workshop it came from.

my first artifact  in my current fort was a steel anvil with bands of steel. otherwise unremarkable, its name however is is great, " whirledbrides the valley of haunting". one of the few times ive gotten a nice name for an artifact.

there is also a turtle shell toy axe called "fearbeatles". it has lots of spikes and a picture of the dwarf who made it coming to live in my fort. i like to imagine a small dwarf child running around mashing large roaches with this.

my most recent artifact had me stopping a miner from making an artifact weapon rack out of bituminous coal using forbid. the silly little guy claimed a workshop right in my raw adamantium stockpile room, so i got him using that instead. it ended up with the name "the ominous joy". now if only i could put my adamantium artifact axe in it.

finally, i have a tonne of other interesting artifacts with extremely funny names, but the crown of all of them was in my second ever fort when i got an aluminium spear. not that awesome, but a few years later i got a cave spider silk thong. with an image of the aluminium spear on it. in raw aluminium. that was incredible.

[worldspawn]

I have an iron grate named Stranglesqueezes.

[Dawrf]

On the item is an image of squares in Chestnut 

I like to think that The Speechlessness of Authoring is kind of a response

[Rysith]

In Lanternwebs, I had a giant cave silk spider turban, decorated with cotton (modded in), encircled with bands of cave spider silk and iron, and adorned with hanging rings of cave lobster shell named "Ringpuzzled the Sorcerers of Styling". In my mind, it looks both strange and awesome.
