Dwarven handmade jewerly
« on: October 21, 2011, 12:31:09 pm »

Greetings fellow DF players,

two friends of mine are actually jewelers and they create handmade jewels. I've commissioned them a ☼Silver Bracelet☼ for my girlfriend and i decided to decorate the chain with 6 handmade images (because we have been together for 6 years). I had the idea to tell a story using these 6 images, just like a dwarf would (related: http://imgur.com/a/TwvnX). I tought about summing up our relationship but i couldn't pick 6 significant images to describe it, so i'm here to ask you, to write a brief romantic story and pick 6 images to narrate it. The story can be serious or ironical. She's a nerdy type girl so the story can have a fantasy set or imaginary elements.

You've been taken by a fey mood. You are at your worktable in your workshop, with all your gems and a bar of silver next to you. Now just let your fantasy fly.

Engrave whatever gifts you gave her for previous anniversary, and a fractal engraving of this gift for the 6th image.

I gotta admit, I did too. My first thought was "this is a masterfully crafted spambot" :P

Finally i did it. The ring is completed. I just want to thank the community for the help it gave (maybe not on this forum, you were pretty cold toward this idea).

This is a silver ring. All craftdwarfship is of the highest quality. It is encrusted with rock crystals. On the item is an image of Chobeat. On the item is an image of a cat. The cat is smiling On the item is an image of a train. On the item is an image of a Tao. On the item is an image of a net. On the item is an image of a house. The artwork relates to the foundation of Chobeat and his wife's house in 2013 (pime taradox, i know). It menaces with spikes of awesomeness.

That looks pretty nice.  I think it's great when people make gifts like this.

Nice. Making a cat look like a cat on that scale is pretty impressive.

It's beautiful.   :)  If I were her, I'd feel really lucky to have a man make a gift like that for me.
