I made some progress... I think

[gateruner]

I ran off this weekend didn't I? Sorry about the pron, but I had reached a point by Friday afternoon that I just ready to get the hell out of town. So, I packed up my bag and did just that. I went over to Jackson to work on my necklace. I figured that immersing myself in something fun and crafty would help take my mind off of life in general.

OMG Shelby I absolutely love it!!
I WANT ONE!!!! Just tell me where to Paypal the $!

Side note: if you're worried about the tiles not showing up, just swap them with another set of beads (like the white diamond shaped ones) to bring them more to the front.

Yay, I'm glad you likey! I haven't even figured out an approximate cost on these yet, but special friends are going to get them free ;)

Rearranging them might be the way to go, you're right. But I am thinking I may try to remove the clasp and put some metal rings in there with some sort of embellishment, then simply add some black satin cording for the additional length, then reattach the clasp.

There are a few different options, I've just got to play around with it and see.

*is excited for my talented friend*

Maybe if they become an 'item' you could approach for rights to market them at cons! Wouldn't that be awesome!

That would be awesome, but highly unprobable. There are some pretty strict guidelines about selling items at cons. I might could get an arrangement, like you said, if it weren't for the actual Stargate being on it. That's going to create massive licensing issues. Even the symbols (Earth and Abydos) are most likely copyrighted as well.

Lots of things happen on the downlow, I know. And I may could still find a way to sell them on the.... blackmarket. Bwahahahaha!

I like!

I also think that bringing the the tiles further down on the necklace would probably solve the visibility problem.

[gateruner]

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm looking at that possibility. There are a couple of options I've got, so I'm going to see what I come up with and what looks best. :)

Oooo, I lufs them all. The stargate is sooooo pretty! :) *hugs the talent*

Hope your weekend made you feel less oogy *hugs some more*

[gateruner]

Thank you so much!

*hugs tight*

I am feeling a bit better emotionally. But I've got a terrible headache now. And yet, here I sit in front of my compy ;)

*luffs the hugs*

[huntersglenn]

Pretty *vbg*. I also agree with the idea of bringing the symbol tiles down further, but not just because of the length issue, but just because I think they would mesh better with the dangling gate -- as far as copyrights for the gate symbols -- you could always make up your own, or use Celtic runes or something like that. Can't think of another way to avoid copyright issues on the gate :-(

Again -- very pretty!

[gateruner]

Thank you! Yeah, the copyright thing will definately be an issue, but I may can figure ways around it. Runes would be a cool idea. But I really like what I have. So....

Unless I find myself in some overwhelming demand for them (which I highly doubt! :D) I think I'll just keep what I've got. But I'm gonna make a backup plan, just in case.

[rowan_d]

OMG, the cool! I didn't know you could do that!:D Squee!

[gateruner]

Thanks! I just hope I can get it all together in the end. :)
