As an update, I figure how do this lung without math!

I am going to make a mockup with the heavier thread I use with kumihimo.

And since I am now the pround owner of half a kilo of wisteria lined crystal, that's the color I'm uses. I used a grayish mauve and a bronze as a pattern so I can easily eye out 5, 10, 15, and twenty bead lengths.

I cal also take the raw materials and make turn then into necklaces with kumihimo

So the two hours of bead spinning was really for good use and my chose to drape instead of using math is compleatly normal

First I love being on my ADHD meds

Second, fuck the FDA and the state I live in fir making all ADHD drugs so hard to get. I do relize that they can be abused by nuritypicals ....but there has got to be a better solution then this.

Anyways on to better news.

My medicated ass.had an idea this moring....for the 7th,

I was always going to do a big drape lacy flowery daisy chain neckas for the 7th, but I just realized that instead of a simple.drape pattern I could use chain to make lungs

Here is my breif concept drawing....

The large rings in the drawing are the large hammered silver(plated) rings. The black lines forming the lungs will be out of the silver and green modified daisy chain.

The dotted lines will be out of fine silver chain. I'll have to purchase that

Here is the rough draft for the back and sides all out of silver chain. I don't think I will be able to get the efect of inflated lungs unless I create a secondary anchor chain around the back like a harness.

So now I need to plot out the mesuments for the lungs.....

These lovely pictures give me an approximate location and a size ratio I can measure on myself.

I may have to lie down on the floor and have my sister use a heavy cord to map put the shape....or better yet I could do that on her.

The other option is to use all those years of math to map out the archs I want on the images I found, to get actual measurements

Jeasus christ.....I just realized I'm trying to reinvent hanahaki

Oh well....I like it, it's going g to be so much work.

And not at all I my colors....

I'm so excited

This is the start of my third house "necklace"

Its technically going to be a triangular scarf mare than a traditional necklace. I wanted the most extra thing possible and since cloath of gold was outside the brief, I settled on cloath of glass.

It also sort of reminds me of ancient Egyptian bead garments.

It's really southing to make

Sadly I ran out of beads. Luckily they are relatively cheap seed beads but it will be days till more arive.

This is a side blog for my side project.

What am I doing?

I am creating a necklace for each of the nine houses in Tamsyn Muir's The Locked Tomb.

Why?

Short answer, because I have ADHD

Long answer, because beading and the locked tomb both set off the good chemicals in my brain. Quietly beading in a corner while occasionally muttering about symbolism is a good way to be a roomate. Pacing back and forth while trying to express my love for camilla hect is Less Well Received.

Also I want to create fan art but 2d art is got my strong suit.

Also my adhd goblin brain likes pretty necklace.

What will I do with them when I am done?

IDK wear them. If Tamsyn Muir asked, I'd give her one.

Will I post instructions?

Sort of....

Some of the necklaces I will create instructions for.

Some of the patterns are really about a technique. If you understand, the technique, then recreating the necklace will be strait forward. I'd rather link to a good tutorial and give material and dimensions than try to write a bad tutorial.

Also, I have a small neck, so some of them may need to resized with math.

Will I go in order?

No.

Do I have rules?

Yes, so many.... my adhd Brain wants symbolism! It wants meaning out of chaos. It wants ART! So here are the rules, or at least the Internal logic

Every house gets a necklace. 1st though 9th.

Every necklace will include size 11 seads beads, though they can also include other beads

Each necklace will be made with house colors

Each necklace will have the number of unique beads related to house number. (Ex. 2nd house is made with 2 colors of red size 11 sead beads)

Findings are not counting against the unique beads count, but should reflect the house number if possible.

Only houses I think would attend a sexy party willing get metallic beads. But what constitutes shiny beads is left up to my discretion.

The construction of the necklace will be thematically appropriate. And something that I can imagine a member of the house wearing.

The value labor+materials will be thematically appropriate. So rich houses will be bigger and more complex than poorer houses. Except for the 9th house, will will include animal bone beads which are expensive.

Each necklace will have a gold "One flesh, One End" charm on the clasp.

Will I post updates?

Yes, though a lot of it will be bitch about the 3rd.
