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.

I'm burnt out on people after Thanksgiving.

I really wish I had a setting between on and off.

Anyway, I'm going to finish up 4th row on the 7th house lungs.

Safety pins are my friend. But after thr fourth strand, I need to find a tape measure to get the lengths right..

Making another necklass with the second house design because I love the way it looks and as I do i....I remember how much I hated doing this design in the first place....

It take forever and it's boring....its just fucking herringbonestitch and i hate herringbone stitch .....but if I don't finish it now I never will....and it will be cute when its not my problem.....its the judith duterous of beading patterns...and I need to get it done because I want to work on the 7th house some more....

And I've decided again that I hate the ribbon I got for the 5th house because it's not quite saturated enough of a brown and I'm poorly and hate everything....and by that, I do mean that I'm having issues getting my meds again.....

So here are pictures of the troublemakers

Honestly my real problem with the fith is that I don't know how to sew the cord well

After two rounds of ordering many many tiny 8g viles of number 11 wisteria lined crystal toho sead beads, I gave up and looked for bulk.

So for about $77 or about 15.5 cents a gram,

I am now the proud owner if half a kilo of these beeds

Behold! The riches of the third house!

And please ignore the state of my rug

I finished the beadwork for the 5th house. I'm not quite sure about how to attach it the the chain with I ordered. But here is a bit of a necklass the will hopefully be worthy of abigail pent. Sorry about the funny shadow

Harrow the Ninth in a nutshell

The Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews is urban fantasy romance crack.

I said I should reread the series before the new book comes out at the end of August. Instead, I read all five since Monday and am disappointed the next one isn't out yet.

Apparently I just want to read stories about ruthless, competent women who want to save the world, and the partners who are really into that.

Another commercial I would produce as an advertising executive:

A husband and wife eat a bland dinner together in a dimly-lit kitchen. They don't speak or look at each other. The meal: a pathetic Salisbury steak.

Cut to their bedroom at night. The wife lays sleeping in the bed while in the background the husband is putting on her dress, pantyhose, pearl necklace, heels, makeup, and a wig. When he's done he quietly leaves the room. The wife opens her eyes as soon as she's sure he's gone.

Now we're in a seedy dive bar. A small crowd of mustachioed men wearing leather jackets, black boots, and sunglasses sip beers and puff cigarettes while the "show" unfolds. Camera pans down, then pans to the side. Between the black boots we see the husband on his hands and knees, greedily eating a Chipotle Chorizo Burrito Bowl with Cilantro Lime Rice from a plastic dog bowl on the floor. His makeup is ruined, face smeared with sour cream and hot sauce.

A man steps forward. The husband looks up, and his expression changes to that of a deer in the headlights. Cut to reveal that the "man" standing before the husband is none other than his wife, in elaborate drag as a Tom of Finland biker, false mustache and officer cap and all. She smiles warmly, and nods. The husband smiles too, and resumes his meal.
