Deatachable Dragon dice pendants

Hi!

Today I want to show you one of my best pendants. At first I used Elven dice because i was short of Dragon dice but now I have 4 colors of Dragon dice. The dice are placed in a dragon pendant. The dragon and chain are in bronze color. The cool part is that you can take out the dice that way you can always have a dice with you in case of unexpected game! You can also change the dice so you can match it to your clothes :)



You can get the pendant in my Etsy Shop You can get pendant with Elven dice in two different colors and Dragon dice in four different colors.

Have a dice day!

Awesome dice accessories: Mortivoreium

Hi everyone!

Today I want to introduce to you some amazing dice jewelry pieces made by Mortivoreium. The amazing author behind these art pieces is Cynthia Kitzmiller from Los Angeles.



As she wrote herself she designs and crafts art jewelry inspired by fantasy & sci-fi themed tabletop RPGs, movies, video games and stories. Her work is detailed with themes inspired by Dungeons & Dragons, some pieces are directly inspired by her adventures playing with friends. She loves to give each piece a distinctive structure with touches of skulls, bones, armory and monstrous iconography. She uses a variety of mixed metals, RPG mini's and polyhedral dice.

She enjoys the process of designing and fabricating jewelry and accessories, she has also worked behind the scenes of some jewelry, clothing, design and supply oriented businesses. She enjoys creating all kinds of things, while continuing to expand her knowledge and delight in learning about how things are made. She also dabbles in 3D modeling, wax carving, lost wax casting, silversmithing and miniature sculpture. Other hobbies and interests include costume design, PC gaming, sewing, digital design and admiring the art and sculptures of other fellow artists.



She seems like a cool person and you can see it in her jewerly:




As you can see her pieces are amazingly detailed and creative. I just adore her necklaces and can look at them all the time, I must buy one from her in the nearest future.

be sure to check her on Etsy, facebook, twitter, google+, devinatart

I hope you enjoyed looking at her jewelry as I do!
Have a dice day!

LEGO: not just a toy

In one of my first articles here I wrote about an awesome lego-photo-artist, I found out recently that there is more to explore in this field and I would like to take you on a trip to LEGOland and show you that LEGO is not only a toy and perhaps its primary purpose stands in a shadow right now as this simple toy became, may I say, an oldschool icon of popculture. It became a great material for art, jewelry and many more, thanks to its simplicity and colors.

Photo taken from here


To start our trip let's focus on history for a bit (but not too long, I don't want to bore you). What I've learnt on LEGO offcial site is that they are on the market almost 80 years (80 years! and still children consider this to be one of the greatest toys!) The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well"- that tells it all. ;)

Recently I came across really interesting home adjustments (which made me to write this article in the first place) and as I began to look for more there seemed to be infinite amount of works I could find, so I am only presenting you a bit of what I found and I encourage you too look for more, maybe you will stumble upon something even better. I've read several articles on LEGO made into furniture and here you can see the most interesting in my opinion:

The LEGO kitchen by Parisian designers Simon Pillard and Philippe Rosetti:

LEGO bedroom by Nathan Sawaya:

LEGO as bricks by Jan Vormann:

However, you might find those as too much and not really practical as I am sure it would be uncomfortable to sleep in a LEGO bed... unless you are also made of LEGO :D
Here are some more useful objects made of LEGO:

LEGO camera by Cary Norton:

LEGO wall clock by Alba :

If that's not enough for you there are more everyday use stuff like these:

Star Wars LEGO USB by Pete Lever

Batman LEGO USB by SUPER SOCK

LEGO Journals by Millie


And of course you can find innumerable amount of jewelry and accessories:

Star Wars LEGO cufflinks by Gen X Boutique

Red Blocks LEGO cufflinks by Michelle

Green Blocks LEGO earrings by Alba

Heart LEGO necklace by cutehearts


And last but not least, I saved something for the ladies for the end of this artcile... something that all women love, yes, SHOES!

LEGO Stilettos by Finn Stone

I do not own any of the photos in the article, I found them on the internet and in other articles.

Happy New Year

I know it's already 2nd of January (I'm late with updates as always) but I hope you all had great New Year's Eve and that 2012 will be much better than 2011 :)

I had the best New Year's Eve ever! :D I was at my friends and we had some kind of cosplay party, the main theme was "conspiracy theory". I was dressed as Danna Scully :) We watched They Live (1988), great movie to begin the year of the end of the world.

Did you know that today is the Clean Off Your Desk Day?
My desk is clear... more or less ^^'

BTW, I made new dice jewelry :) I hope you'll like it:
